      abstract = {This book analyzes regional integration in South America  with a focus on the Mercosur and Brazilian foreign policy  from the 1990s. It reviews the history of the Mercosur and  identifies the results achieved by the bloc, as well as the  causes of difficulties and the reasons for stalemates over  nearly 30 years of its existence. The authors identify the  complex interrelation between domestic and foreign factors  that have shaped Brazilian foreign policy. From 1991  onwards, relations between Latin American countries have  changed while the Mercosur developed from a free trade area  to a customs union. While intrabloc trade grew, there were  huge difficulties in the form of regional institutional  affirmation and cooperation. This history is of the utmost  importance to understanding regionalism and politics in  Latin America. The book therefore has two interrelated  analytical dimensions: namely, focus on ideas and identity;  and behavior, actions, and economic and political  interests. This very topical book is of interest for  researchers and students of Brazilian foreign policy and  those of Latin American and/or Mercosur countries.  Particularly, readers interested in regionalism will find  important theoretical and empirical elements in this book,  as well as discussions necessary for comprehending the role  of big, emerging countries, and the potential and limits to  their international role.},
