THE MERCOSUR OF CIVIL SOCIETY. ACTORS, NETWORKS AND FORUMS IN THE REGIONAL INTEGRATION PROCESS

Introduction

MERCOSUR HAS BEEN THE PRODUCT OF THE POLITICAL WILL OF POLITICAL ELITES AND GOVERNMENTS IN THE FRAMEWORK OF DIFFICULTIES FACING THE NATIONAL ECONOMIES TO REINSERT INTO THE NEW INTERNATIONAL SCENARIO

MOST OF THE DISCUSSIONS focus on macroeconomic issues.

Although the objectives of the action of the C.S. should not differ from those of Mercosur, it is correct to recognize that the C.S. it has its own agenda based on its sectoral interests and its own vision of integration.

It indicates that in the Mercosur dialogue or negotiation tables, the actors continue to define themselves in terms of nationality. And he suggests that perhaps that explains the problem of social participation: although it is true that the integration process does not imply
