Main challenges. 330 $aThis book analyzes regional integration in South America with a focus on the Mercosur and Brazilian foreign policy from the 1990s. It reviews the history of the Mercosur and identifies the results achieved by the bloc, as well as the causes of difficulties and the reasons for stalemates over nearly 30 years of its existence. The authors identify the complex interrelation between domestic and foreign factors that have shaped Brazilian foreign policy. From 1991 onwards, relations between Latin American countries have changed while the Mercosur developed from a free trade area to a customs union. While intrabloc trade grew, there were huge difficulties in the form of regional institutional affirmation and cooperation. This history is of the utmost importance to understanding regionalism and politics in Latin America. The book therefore has two interrelated analytical dimensions: namely, focus on ideas and identity; and behavior, actions, and economic and political interests. This very topical book is of interest for researchers and students of Brazilian foreign policy and those of Latin American and/or Mercosur countries. Particularly, readers interested in regionalism will find important theoretical and empirical elements in this book, as well as discussions necessary for comprehending the role of big, emerging countries, and the potential and limits to their international role. . 410 0$aUnited Nations University Series on Regionalism,$x2214-9856 ;$v18 606 $aPolitical sociology 606 $aInternational relations 606 $aDevelopment economics 606 $aPolitical Sociology 606 $aForeign Policy 606 $aDevelopment Economics 615 0$aPolitical sociology. 615 0$aInternational relations. 615 0$aDevelopment economics. 615 14$aPolitical Sociology. 615 24$aForeign Policy. 615 24$aDevelopment Economics. 676 $a327.81 676 $a337.18 700 $aVigevani$b Tullo$01091513 702 $aRamanzini Junior$b Haroldo 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910568249403321 996 $aThe Challenges for Building Regional Integration in the Global South$92845122 997 $aUNINA
