The underpinnings of global governance since the end of the Second World War have been imbued with the Western norms of order. Today, the acceptability of those norms is encountering challenges rendering parts of global governance dysfunctional, at times layering onto it, at other times encircling it, disputing it, complicating it, but not overthrowing it. Contested conceptions may become a central feature of global governance opening a window for necessary changes. This article evinces the distinctly Latin American way of understanding global governance. The concept of autonomy, pragmatic and in permanent construction as it might, is actually one of the deepest and most meaningful aspects of self-determination. Dissatisfaction with the status quo ante was translated into a struggle for voice and autonomy, accommodation, or a search for opportunities to trim and reshape rules and reduce pressure for the policies governments wished to evade or delay rather than a big push to rewrite rules and establish altogether new foundations for global governance. This paper address the way Latin American countries conceptualized and viewed the need for autonomy, how that norm translated into region building and a legal approach to multilateralism, as preferred sites on the road to global governance.

全球化的全球治理：拉丁美洲的外围思想

自第二次世界大战结束以来，全球治理的基础充斥着西方秩序规范。如今，这些规范的可接受性正面临挑战，致使全球治理的某些部分功能失调，有时叠加在它上面，有时又包围它，引起争议，使它变得复杂，但没有被推翻。有争议的概念可能会成为全球治理的中心特征，从而为必要的变革打开一扇窗户。本文提出了拉丁美洲人独特的理解全球治理的方式。自治的概念，务实的和永久的建构，实际上是自决的最深层和最有意义的方面之一。对现状的不满转化为争取发言权和自治权，适应，或寻找机会修改和重塑规则，并减轻政府希望逃避或拖延的政策压力，而不是大力推动改写规则并为全球治理建立全新的基础。本文探讨了拉丁美洲国家如何概念化并看待自治的需要，该规范如何转化为地区建设以及采取多边主义的法律方法，以此作为通向全球治理之路的首选地点。
