"The European Union (EU) perceives itself as a model for regional integration, which it seeks to diffuse by actively promoting the development of genuine (intra-) regional economic and political cooperation, the building of issue-related regimes, and the creation of joint institutions for consultation and decision-making in its neighbourhood and beyond as well as between the world regions and the EU. In this paper, we explore the extent to which EU has sought to promote regional integration beyond its borders. More specifically, we analyze what exactly the EU seeks to export and how it has used its external relations and foreign policy to foster the cooperation between regions (inter-regionalism), on the one hand, and regional cooperation among third countries, on the other. We proceed in three steps. The first part of the paper outlines the mechanisms and instruments through which the EU diffuses the idea of regional integration to other regions and fosters regional integration among third countries. In the second part, we take stock of the EU's attempts to export regional integration focusing on the mechanisms it has drawn upon. We conclude with some considerations to what extent the promotion of regional integration constitutes a genuine EU agenda for global governance." (author's abstract)

Reviews the relations between two regional integration arrangements, the European Union (EU) & Mercosur, under three aspects: trade & investment, international negotiations, & the institutional dimension. Tracing the agenda & issues dealt with between the two, leading to a project of a transatlantic free trade area, reveals that trade issues, one of two pillars of reference, are important. However, the most influential results have stemmed so far from the other pillar, the political one. These results may be seen in the EU's role as a "road map" for Mercosur's institutional trajectory, & as a signal for the private sector in furthering industrial networks in the ongoing world economic restructuring. The objective, thus, is to highlight how the relationship may interact with two encompassing processes: the shaping of regionalism/s, in particular the Mercosur case, & the so-called globalization process.

Abstract Brazil-European Union relations punch below their weight. Cooperation takes place at three levels: relations with European Union (EU) member states, Brazil`s partnership with Brussels, and EU-MERCOSUR negotiations. This multilevel governance contrasts with poor results: there is no free trade agreement, development cooperation became irrelevant, and international positions rarely converge. The article explores the reasons for the underperformance by comparing foreign policy shifts in Brazil and the EU, and analyzing multilevel governance in selected sectors of cooperation. It is based on four assumptions: multilevel relations are uncoordinated, idealist inter-regionalism doesn't work, and crisis-driven, liberal realist foreign policies in Brazil and the EU facilitate bilateralism.

AbstractThe article examines why a decade of inter‐regional negotiations failed to result in an EU‐MERCOSUR agreement, notwithstanding motivating factors at the international, national and societal level. It focuses on inter‐regional trade and investment flows to underline the practical value of any agreement, but also considers strategic and ideational issues.
