Regionalism moves in waves, but some dimensions of regional integration, such as delegation of authority, seem to increase no matter what. Standard European integration theories do not have an explanation for this phenomenon, most cases do not fit its theoretical expectations. My dissertation inquires on the increasing trend towards delegation of authority in Regional Economic Organizations (REOs) over the past four decades and addresses on why do some REOs adopt high levels of delegation despite they have no functional need or material incentive to do so.My argument builds on elements of sociological and historical institutionalism. I argue that high delegation in this set of 'deviant' cases is best explained by a sequence of institutional design diffusion by mimicry, decoupling, and institutional inertia. I claim that delegation levels in these cases can be explained by the presence of institutional design diffusion by mimicry, in which features are imported only under a formal logic. Following, I argue that mimicry leads to decouplings, i.e., delinking of imported features from their subsequent implementation. Lastly, I argue this sequence generates path-dependent dynamics of institutional inertia. In other words, I assert that part of this growing trend towards delegation of authority is an artifact of formal rules. Therefore, this dissertation offers an alternative analytical approach by going beyond material and functional incentives.This dissertation follows a multi-method strategy, with two nested stages. First, I perform a quantitative analysis of the determinants of vertical integration, i.e., delegation, and pooling of xii authority. Then, to probe the plausibility of my argument, I analyze the adoption of parliamentary and judicial bodies in the cases of Mercosur and the Andean Community. This study shows that theories of European integration fail to explain these institutional features, while diffusion does have something to say. It also shows that the argument I make based on elements of sociological and historical institutionalism is plausible and can provide an explanation for a set of empirically and theoretically relevant cases within the comparative regionalism literature.

520 $a <El regionalismo se mueve en olas, pero algunas dimensiones de la integracion regional, como la delegacion de autoridad, parecen aumentar sin importar las condiciones. Las teorias estandar de la integracion europea no tienen una explicacion para este fenomeno, la mayoria de los casos no se ajustan a sus expectativas teoricas. Mi tesis investiga la creciente tendencia a la delegacion de autoridad en las Organizaciones Economicas Regionales (REOs) a lo largo de las ultimas cuatro decadas y aborda la cuestion de por que algunas REOs adoptan altos niveles de delegacion a pesar de no tener ninguna necesidad funcional ni incentivo material para hacerlo.Mi argumento se basa en elementos del institucionalismo sociologico e historico. Sostengo que la alta delegacion en este conjunto de casos "desviados" se explica por una secuencia de difusion de diseno institucional por mimica, desacoplamiento e inercia institucional. Primero, afirmo que los niveles de delegacion en estos casos pueden explicarse por la presencia de una difusion del diseno institucional por mimica, en la que las caracteristicas se importan solo bajo una logica formal. A continuacion, sostengo que la mimica conduce a desacoplamientos, es decir, a la desvinculacion de las caracteristicas importadas de su posterior aplicacion. Por ultimo, mantengo que esta secuencia genera una dinamica path-dependent de inercia institucional. En otras palabras, afirmo que parte de esta tendencia creciente a la delegacion de autoridad es un artefacto de las normas formales. Por lo tanto, esta tesis ofrece un enfoque analitico alternativo al ir mas alla de los incentivos materiales y funcionales.Esta tesis sigue una estrategia multi-metodo, con dos etapas anidadas. En primer lugar, realizo un analisis cuantitativo de los determinantes de la integracion vertical, es decir, la delegacion, y la puesta en comun (pooling) de la autoridad. Luego, para probar la plausibilidad de mi argumento, analizo la adopcion de organos parlamentarios y judiciales en los casos del Mercosur y la Comunidad Andina. Este estudio demuestra que las teorias de la integracion europea no logran explicar estas caracteristicas institucionales, mientras que la difusion si tiene algo que decir. Tambien muestra que el argumento que expongo, basado en elementos del institucionalismo sociologico e historico, es plausible y puede ofrecer una explicacion para un conjunto de casos empiricos y teoricamente relevantes dentro de la literatura del regionalismo comparado.
