Resumen

América Latina representa un verdadero laboratorio para el arbitraje internacional de inversiones. Se encuentra tanto en el origen de la disciplina como en el corazón de las críticas y de los cambios que la afectan. Si bien los cuestionamientos de los efectos del arbitraje han venido de todas partes del mundo, han tenido una resonancia particular en la región dada la postura tradicionalmente hostil de los países de la región frente al arbitraje de inversiones. Este artículo propone revisitar el mosaico de resistencia que dio nacimiento a un proyecto contra hegemónico alternativo en la región. Se concluye que los movimientos de resistencia en América Latina contra el arbitraje de inversiones no contaron finalmente con un apoyo mayoritario claro y que varios países adoptaron una postura ambigua frente a ellos. Ante a la ausencia de una solución global coherente, las propuestas alternativas presentadas por los Estados son plurales y dispersas y, en la mayoría de los casos, están alejadas de la perspectiva radical planteada por el ALBA-TCP.
