The European Union and Mercosur: a case of inter-regionalism
Article Abstract:
The article examines the relationship between the European Union and its South American counterpart, Mercosur, focusing on trade and invest, international negotitations, and institutional dimensions. The author finds that the most influential results come from the political 'pillar' of reference on trade issues, with the EU functioning as a 'road map' for Mercosur; the relationship between the two is considered to play a role in the process of shaping regionalism and globalization.
