MERCOSUR and the European Union

Viac o knihe

The book analyzes regionalism by comparing MERCOSUR and the European Union, highlighting the differences in their integration outcomes. It proposes that contemporary regionalism should be assessed through multiple integration theories rather than a singular perspective. The author creates an analytical framework that examines key factors such as economic interdependence, convergence, intra-bloc size, interest asymmetries, cultural diversity, and geostrategic motivations, providing a comprehensive understanding of the limits and variations in regional integration.
