Sumario: This article aims to investigate and study the Political-Ideological Regionalism in the American Continent focusing on the different processes and structures that characterize political regionalization, with the objective of determining the ideological patterns that feed the evolution of the political tendencies that mark the process of integration. The research is based on a descriptive and qualitative methodology using a documentary method. The American Political-Ideological Regionalism of the last three decades has opened a new path in the insertion of the region in the International System, however, it presents deep divisions that respond to clear political factions that follow ideological patterns linked to the shifting interests of governments through time. In the case of the Republic of Panama, although it has helped build the region's political and ideological regionalism, in recent decades it has strategically adhered to multilateralist practices to achieve sovereign purposes. It is concluded that the construction of PoliticalIdeological Regionalism is characterized by outlining dynamic and clearly defined trends, although its integration tends to be asymmetric and far from building solidly cohesive blocks. Finally, Cooperation and Multilateralism emerge as allies in the search for regional consensus and depoliticize integration, using politics as the basis to achieve objectives and ideologies as the link to reach agreements.
