O Brasil, a América Latina e a Europa

o acordo Mercosul/União Europeia, um retrospecto de uma negociação ainda não concluída

Abstract

This paper addresses the implications of European subsidy policy and the consequences for Mercosur and its integration process. The text is divided as well: in the foreground, is the approach towards the integration between Mercosur and the EU, especially the Mercosur countries. The following tables provide a background on relations between Mercosur and the EU and a comparison of the formation of the two, as well as the asymmetries on the model adopted. Then focuses on the prominence played by Brazil as "emerging power" in negotiations in the grain market and by the end of subsidies. Points out the scenarios that make up the implementation of the Agreement by giving attention to the grain market, since the relation "North-South" has relevance in the development of negotiations between the blocks. Finally, a brief development of world trade from the creation of the GATT in 1947 and the Doha Round in 2001, which can contribute to the conclusion of this agreement involving regional blocs or developing or emerging countries. The agreement between the blocks can become concrete measure that the existing asymmetries between the two can be eliminated with regard to subsidy policy? Approaching the theoretical perspective based on complex interdependence of Joseph Nye and Robert Keohane, developed in the late 1970s, from the foundation of the relations between state and non-state actors would be dependency, along with transnational organizations and economic blocs.
