Overlapping Regionalism and The Unintended Consequences of Democracy Clauses in The Americas

Description	Organisations such as the Common Market of the South (Mercosur) Ushuaia Protocol of 1998, the 2001 Organisation of American States (OAS), the Inter-American Democratic Charter (IADC) and the 2010 Additional Protocol to the Constitutive Treaty of Unasur on Commitment to Democracy demonstrate the enhancement of regional mechanisms for protecting democracy in the Americas. However, the motivations driving this process and its unintended consequences are a little studied theme. This chapter seeks to analyse the reasons for the reconfiguration of regionalism and the unintended consequences of overlapping regionalism, with reference to democracy clauses in South America. In order to do this at OAS, Mercosur and Unasur levels, we shall study two cases involving the application of democratic clauses in countries that are members of the three overlapping institutions. The first case is the 2012 political crisis in Paraguay, resulting from the impeachment of President Fernando Lugo. The second case is the situation of Venezuela from 2012 to 2017, beginning with the country's entry into Mercosur and ending with its suspension in August 2017. We argue that the dynamics involved in the implementation of democracy clauses led to the unintended consequences of weakening South American regionalism, regional autonomy and democracy protection in South America.
