CARO, Isaac  and  RODRIGUEZ, Isabel. THE PERSPECTIVE OF CIVILIZATIONAL DIALOGUE FROM LATIN AMERICA. rev.relac.int.estrateg.segur. [online]. 2016, vol.11, n.1, pp.147-169. ISSN 1909-3063.  https://doi.org/10.18359/ries.1372.

This article is part of a theoretical debate about the paradigm of civilizational dialogue that emerges in the discipline of International Relations as a new perspective of analysis as opposed to a focus on the clash of civilizations. The objective is to demonstrate its validity and contribution towards the theoretical explanation of problems in international reality by considering three levels of analysis: international, regional and local. In short, we analyse proposals of civilizational dialogue and Alliance of Civilizations encounters in the framework of the United Nations. We will explain this global trend as a Latin American problem, taking into consideration three National Plans for Civilizational Alliances: those of Argentina, Brazil and Mexico, with an additional analysis of local examples of institutionalized dialogue in the case of Argentina. Thus, one of the main objectives of this article is to establish how have been advanced in a civilizational dialogue agenda in the scope of the international relations, considering some theoretical approaches, thereby the practices of meetings, forums and alliances.

Keywords : Latin America; Civilizational Dialogue; International Relations; Religion.
