Abstract

This paper aims to show the emergence of a civil society in the MERCOSUR integration process. To do this, the actors are located in terms of the different circles of influence in relation to the decision-makers and negotiators. This makes it possible to analyze the structural response of the different actors in the face of the progress of the integration process, which allows an approximation to their position in the face of the functional overflow of the process. Finally, this work addresses the study of the attitudinal response of the actors in relation to the topics of the subregional agenda. It is in the position on these issues that the active map of MERCOSUR civil society emerges.
