Mercosur: structural problems and the classification dilemma against trading bloc models

Abstract

This article theme is “Mercosur: structural problems and the classification dilemma against trading bloc models”. The following problem was investigated: “Has Mercosur reached the main objective of forming a common market?”. The following hypothesis was considered: “structural problems prevent the consolidation of the common market model proposed in the Treaty of Asunción”. The general objective was “to evidence the dilemma of classifying Mercosur among the economic bloc models”. The specific objectives were: “to present the characteristics of the economic bloc models”, “to denote the structural problems of Mercosur” and “to review the complexity of ranking Mercosur among the existing economic bloc models”. This work is important for a law operator to understand the concepts of International Law and the difficulties of the International Agreement of Asunción implementation by its signatory countries; for science, it is relevant as it studies the thematic complexity of integrating borders in an attempt to achieve a perfect economic model; it adds to society by the fact of triggering political-economic thinking in which the South American citizen lives. This is a six months qualitative theoretical research.
