Antecedentes del MERCOSUR. La posición de Chile

Abstract

Abstract/short description:

Since the beginning of twentieth century the three southernmost Latin American states of Argentina, Brasil and Chile (ABC) saw a number of initiatives that proposed varying degrees of economic and political integration of these countries. The basis for such integration was designated by a number of both bilateral and multinational treaties that were signed in the 20th Century. Of the biggest strength is the integration between Brazil and Argentine which led to the emergence of the MERCOSUR custom union. The 1996 article is dedicated to the study of the Chilean attitude towards MERCOSUR.
