Resumen:There are a number of reasons for thinking that regionalism is becoming more important in world politics and to the purpose of this paper is to demonstrate why this is so through exploring the roles that regionalism has come to play in the contemporary security architecture. How has its relationship with the UN evolved? Has it kept pace with new security demands and trends?

In the following section I argue that a major factor in the current phase of more robust regionalism is the growing international recognition and support it has received. I then examine the current range of its activities, before going on to consider how the newest security threats have been integrated into regional security agendas and with which consequences. Finally, I conclude by offering some general observations about the limitations and possibilities of regional institutions as part of the global security architecture. (fragmento del original).
