"The Law of MERCOSUR presents both an overview and in-depth analysis of one of the world's most important and increasingly influential economic organisations. The book comprises both a series of first-hand analyses of MERCOSUR by experts from countries in the MERCOSUR bloc, and also discussions from other parts of the world looking at MERCOSUR as global actor of ever-increasing importance. The book is divided into three main parts: the first analyses the key institutional legal aspects of MERCOSUR, looking at its history, the general theory of economic integration, and basic aspects relating to the functioning of MERCOSUR; the second examines specialised topics, including the regulation of the environment, human rights and the energy market in MERCOSUR; and in the third part the editors offer a translation of core MERCOSUR instruments, with the objective of furthering understanding of the economic bloc. Original in its conception, the book aims to fill a major gap in the English-language literature by offering a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of the Law of MERCOSUR, and it is hoped that it will become essential reading for those practitioners and academics who are interested not only in MERCOSUR, but in economic integration generally, in international trade, and in the regional aspects of the phenomenon of globalisation."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

À l'heure où les projets d'intégration régionale se multiplient en Amérique, afin d'adapter les systèmes économiques locaux aux nécessités de la mondialisation, Alena et Mercosur apparaissent comme de véritables laboratoires pour le grand projet de Zone de libre échange des Amériques soutenu par Washington et dont la mise en œuvre est prévue à l'horizon 2005. Pourtant, les limites internationales héritées de l'époque coloniale et des guerres d'indépendance continuent à jouer un rôle majeur dans l'organisation des territoires. En outre, de nombreux litiges frontaliers empoisonnent toujours les relations entre pays membres d'une même communauté. L'établissement de blocs économiques d'importance variable (en superficie, poids démographique, puissance industrielle et financière...) n'est donc qu'une réponse parmi d'autres au problème latent du mal-développement latino-américain. Or, malgré toutes les déclarations d'intention des gouvernements et des experts de la Banque interaméricaine de développement (BID), qui jonglent avec une série de mots-clefs dont le sens varie d'un pays à l'autre (développement durable, démocratie, progrès social), la fracture Nord-Sud semble loin de s'effacer, bien au contraire, et les tensions restent vives sur les marchés comme dans la rue. C'est pourquoi il apparaît nécessaire de s'interroger sur les enjeux et les limites d'un processus d'intégration présenté comme inéluctable mais dont on ignore encore la forme qu'il pourra prendre, depuis la simple zone de libre échange (type Alena), jusqu'à l'union monétaire (type Union européenne) - à moins que la dollarisation de fait des économies latino -américaines ne mette un terme (provisoire) à toutes les spéculations.

This book offers a compelling new interpretation of the proliferation of regional trade agreements (RTAs) at the end of the twentieth century. Challenging the widespread assumption that RTAs should be seen as fundamentally similar economic initiatives to pursue free trade, Francesco Duina proposes that the world is reorganizing itself into regions that are highly distinctive and enduring. With evidence from Europe, North America, and South America, he challenges our understanding of globalization, the nature of markets, and the spread of neoliberalism. The pursuit of free trade is a profoundly social process and, as such, a unique endeavor wherever it takes place. In an unprecedented comparative analysis, the book offers striking evidence of differences in the legal architectures erected to standardize the worldview of market participants and the reaction of key societal organizations--interest groups, businesses, and national administrations--to a broader marketplace. The author gives special attention to developments in three key areas of economic life: women in the workplace, the dairy industry, and labor rights. With its bold and original approach and its impressive range of data, The Social Construction of Free Trade represents a major advance in the growing fields of economic sociology and comparative regional integration.
