Mercosur has been the most significant initiative for a deeper and more constructive integration in South America. Despite the fact that it is mainly known as a common market, its contribution to social stability is absolutely notable. Ever since its establishment, Mercosur's members faced numerous economic and sociopolitical crises. Nonetheless, contrary to more than a few pessimistic voices which were foreseeing its destruction, Mercosur managed to overcome all those serious tribulations and for the time being seems stronger than ever. The author's target in terms of this book is not only to scrupulously examine Mercosur, but also to shed light on the outstandingly notable trade and economic relations between Mercosur and the European Union which aim at boosting economic growth and development in the context of both sides.
