| dc.description.abstract | This thesis investigates the intricacies of regional integration in Latin America, focusing on Mercosur and comparing it with global integration models such as the European Union (EU) and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Latin American regionalism is marked by significant fragmentation, reflecting diverse economic models and ideological differences across various initiatives, including Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America (ALBA), the Pacific Alliance, and Southern Common Market (Mercosur). This thesis engages with theories, including Neofunctionalism, Liberal Intergovernmentalism, Postfunctionalism and Supranational Governance, and explores strategic, social, and productive regionalism. It also considers external influences from the U.S. and China, the challenges of national sovereignty, and the impacts of COVID-19, offering insights for building a more cohesive and resilient integration framework in the Latin America region. Through a comparative analysis of the EU robust institutional framework and Mercosur's more limited structure, this thesis provides strategic recommendations for advancing Latin American integration. It underscores the necessity for institutional reforms, enhanced political cohesion, increased public legitimacy, and stronger engagement with civil society to create a more unified and resilient regional bloc. By integrating lessons from global experiences and addressing regional specificities, this thesis offers insights into how Latin America can bolster its international role and promote sustainable development. | pt_PT |
