Abstract :
[en] This article aims at analyzing the creation of institutional bodies in Mercosur concerning border integration. It also aims at analyzing the outcomes of Mercosur’s institutional dynamics for the furthering of border integration. Understanding the character of Mercosur’s institutions and institutionalization dynamics is a key analytical factor for the comprehension of this political process. By conducting a documental and bibliographical analysis, the article found that the impossibility to reach consensus, the lack of coordination and the existence of internal communication problems hindered border integration. Moreover, the replication of the intergovernmental character of Mercosur at the functioning of the bodies responsible for the matter impeded any deepening process of border integration. [fr] Cet article vise à analyser la création d'organismes institutionnels relatifs à l'intégration frontalière au sein du Mercosur. Il vise aussi à analyser les résultats de la dynamique institutionnelle du Mercosur favorisant l'intégration frontalière. La compréhension du caractère des institutions du Mercosur et de sa dynamique d'institutionnalisation est un facteur analytique clé pour appréhender ce processus politique complexe. En conduisant une analyse documentaire et bibliographique, l'article a constaté que l'impossibilité d'atteindre le consensus, le manque de coordination et l'existence de problèmes de communication interne ont entravé l'intégration frontalière. En outre, la reproduction du caractère intergouvernemental du Mercosur au fonctionnement des organismes responsables de la matière a empêché n'importe quel processus d'approfondissement d'intégration frontalière.
