Twenty years ago, on 26th March 1991, Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay signed the Treaty of Asunción, constituting the Common Market of the South (Mercosur or Mercosul). Despite uneven
growth and frequent setbacks, Mercosul has become the most ambitious integration attempt in the region, deepening economic interactions between the member countries and influencing the political agenda in the Southern Cone and beyond.
The twentieth anniversary of the Treaty constitutes an excellent opportunity to evaluate the evolution of Mercosur from a multidisciplinary perspective and discuss its central challenges.
Speakers will explore the political evolution of the agreement, its economic impact and the way it has contributed to shape the region’s external agenda. The changes that each of the four founding countries has experienced will constitute the background to these discussions.
Confirmed speakers include Gian Luca Gardini (University of Bath), Malamud (University of Lisbon), Jeffrey Cason (Middlebury College). Evaluating Mercosur at 20, Germán Ríos (Corporación Andina de Fomento and St Antony’s College), Carlos Quenan (IHEAL, University of Paris III, Sorbonne Nouvelle), Laura Gómez-Mera (University of Miami), Mahrukh Doctor (University of Hull), Valpy FitzGerald (University of Oxford), Peter Lambert (University of Bath), Francisco Panizza (LSE), Celia Szusterman (University of Westminster), Andrew Hurrell (University of Oxford), Anthony W. Pereira (King’s College, London), Alfredo Valladão (Chaire Mercosur, Sciences-Po Paris), and Laurence Whitehead (University of Oxford).
