Abstract
The paper aims to identify and analyze what types of governance challenges for sustainable regional development in the context of globalization are more frequently found in scholarship regarding Latin America. In order to do so, we carried out a systematic review of scholarly works discussing regional sustainability issues across the region. Analytically, it provides a heuristic multidimensional framework for organizing and typifying the most frequent sustainable regional development governance challenges under study, offering a nuanced and interrelated account of economic, environmental, political, and socio-spatial scientific discussions. According to our findings, scholarship on Latin America shows a bricolage-like scenery where political atomization linked to economic factionalism and fragmentation stand out as frequently analyzed situations. Another frequent topic relates to discussions about political endeavors linked to environmental concerns, connecting incidence strategies with collective environmental conservation approaches.

By assessing the relevant literature in order to analyze the most common challenges of governance for sustainable regional development, we found that systematic discussion of the regional scale was rather rare in the case of Latin America
What types of governance challenges for sustainable regional development in Latin America in the context of globalization are more frequently scholarly discussed? Our approach was based on an assessment of the literature linked to the research topic in a typological multidimensional analytical framework and we aimed for a more nuanced reading of the phenomena taking place throughout the region
