Political scientist Julia Gray introduced the concept of the “zombie organization” into the academic debate on the life and death of international organizations. Opinions are divided on whether the Union of South American Nations (Unasur) is dead or a zombie. A recent study, which was done, together with the former Foreign Minister of Ecuador (2016-2017), Guillaume Long, affirms that Unasur still exists. And there are more and more voices calling for breathing new life into it.
