left turn; borders of Mercosur; regionalism and regionalization
Abstract :
[en] This work aims at exploring the relation between Mercosur’s political agenda on borders and the
local interactions at these spaces in the light of the ‘left turn’ in South America (2002-2014). This
brief conjuncture analysis found that the ‘regionalism by the left’ did not foster structural
changes in Mercosur nor resolved issues of coordination necessary for the border,
regionalization dynamics to leave the informal sphere in which they reside.
