| 15625. MERCOSUR: IMPOSSIBLE ALLIANCE OR PRAGMATIC REGIONALISM? The history, current status and future prospects of Latin America's leading trade bloc is considered in the context of the following specific questions: MERCOSUR -- an impossible alliance on the road to nowhere or an example of pragmatic, open regionalism? The analysis makes a qualified argument in favor of the latter position, noting that although MERCOSUR's economic benefits are questionable and its future ambitions related to economic integration unrealistic, it has served its members well in terms of political objectives, and that it will continue to do so in the future. 16 pages, 54 footnotes, 27 bibliographic sources. |
