The emergence of new information technology and communication and the way how knowledge is transmitted has produced additional requirements to universities with a view to academic mobility, courses´s accreditation and recognition of degrees and diplomas. The educational protocols signed within Mercosur should approximate the institutions and become quicker the cooperation´s mechanisms. The Educational Sector of Mercosur was built on the basis of heterogeneous educational systems, however it hard advances. When we see the history of the evolution of this sector and its bureaucratic levels, and considering a broad framework of the internationalization of higher education, the goal of this research is to examine the conflicting relationship between safeguarding standards of quality and effectiveness of the Admission Agreement of University´s Degrees and Titles for Academic Activities´s Exercise in Member States of Mercosur. / A educação superior vem sendo afetada pelo processo de integração regional configurado com a criação do Mercado Comum do Sul (Mercosul) e pelas condições das relações internacionais. A emergência de novas tecnologias da informação e da comunicação e a forma como o conhecimento passou a ser produzido impõem exigências adicionais às instituições universitárias com vistas à mobilidade acadêmica, à acreditação de cursos e ao reconhecimento de títulos e diplomas. Os protocolos educacionais firmados no âmbito do Mercosul deveriam aproximar as instituições e tornar mais ágeis os mecanismos de cooperação. Construído, porém, sobre as bases de sistemas educacionais heterogêneos, o Setor Educacional do Mercosul avança com dificuldades. Ao historiar a evolução desse setor e das instâncias que o conformam, no quadro amplo da internacionalização da educação superior, o objetivo desta pesquisa é examinar a relação conflituosa estabelecida entre a salvaguarda de padrões de qualidade e a efetividade do Acordo de Admissão de Títulos e Graus Universitários para o Exercício de Atividades Acadêmicas nos Estados-Partes do Mercosul.

The theoretical framework includes topics of the theory of regional economic integration; historical process of economic integration in Latin America; history of the formation process of MERCOSUR and its current situation. The methodology used was the Global Dimension of Regional Integration Model considering a total of 90 variables with 18 political, 16 social, 46 economic and technological 10. For each of the States Parties and Associates were calculated Global Regional Development Index and Regional Global Development, and through them we obtained the value for the Regional Integration Stage Index to the MERCOSUR, which is equal to 0.57037 in 1998 and 0.62222 in 2008, framing it as an integration process in development. Analyzing the indexes for each of the States Parties and Associates notes to uneven development between 1998 and 2008 Brazil showed a more than proportional growth in relation to other countries in all areas surveyed. The conclusion is that although the bloc's integration has improved, the effects obtained were not distributed equally among the countries given their heterogeneity. / Este trabalho tem como objetivo central avaliar a partir de uma perspectiva multidimensional que considera variáveis políticas, sociais, econômicas e tecnológicas, os estágios da integração do Mercado Comum do Sul (MERCOSUL) nos anos de 1998 e 2008. O referencial teórico compreende tópicos sobre a teoria da integração econômica regional; processo histórico da integração econômica na América Latina; histórico do processo de formação do MERCOSUL e sua situação atual. A metodologia utilizada foi o Modelo da Dimensão Global da Integração Regional considerando um total de 90 variáveis sendo 18 políticas, 16 sociais, 46 econômicas e 10 tecnológicas. Para cada um dos Estados Partes e Associados foram calculados o Índice Global de Desenvolvimento Regional e o Índice de Desenvolvimento Global Regional e, através destes obteve-se o valor referente ao Estágio de Integração Regional para o MERCOSUL, sendo este igual a 0,57037 em 1998 e a 0,62222 em 2008, enquadrando o mesmo como um processo integracionista em desenvolvimento. Analisando os índices para cada um dos Estados Partes e Associados constata-se um desenvolvimento desigual entre 1998 e 2008 apresentando o Brasil um crescimento mais que proporcional em relação aos demais países em todas as áreas analisadas. Conclui-se que embora a integração do bloco tenha apresentado avanços, os efeitos obtidos não se distribuíram de forma igualitária entre os países dada sua heterogeneidade.

Was used only the model of cross section data. The results show that Mercosur obtained the largest increases in trade among all regional integration schemes relevant to member countries, which highlights its importance for the members. When considering the analysis of the sectors, only agriculture had significant value, showing that the products were still predominant in this sector in the export of the Mercosur countries to all countries in the sample both in 1994, as in 2009. The analysis of dummy variables for the member countries showed that, even if the impact of the block was not uniform, the formation of MERCOSUR has had a significant effect on the pattern of exports of all its members, therefore, generally all of them experienced a significant increase in intrabloc exports during the period analyzed. With emphasis on the Paraguayan economy, that showed be strongly dependent on intraregional trade. / Esta dissertação procura analisar os efeitos da constituição do MERCOSUL nos fluxos de comércio dos países-membros, utilizando um modelo gravitacional estendido, que inclui variáveis dummy para o MERCOSUL, para UE e NAFTA (por serem blocos econômicos importantes), para os setores da economia e para cada país-membro. Foi utilizado apenas o modelo de dados seccionais (cross section). Os resultados mostram que o MERCOSUL obteve os maiores aumentos de comércio entre todos os esquemas de integração regionais relevantes para os países-membros, o que ressalta sua importância para os membros. Quando considerada a análise dos setores, apenas agricultura teve valor expressivo, mostrando que os produtos deste setor ainda foram predominantes na pauta de exportação dos países do MERCOSUL para todos os países da amostra tanto em 1994 quanto em 2009. A análise das variáveis dummy para os países-membros mostrou que, mesmo que o impacto do bloco não se tenha feito de maneira uniforme, a constituição do MERCOSUL surtiu efeitos significativos sobre o padrão de exportações de todos os seus integrantes, pois, de modo geral, todos eles experimentaram um aumento significativo das suas exportações intrabloco durante o período analisado. Com destaque para a economia paraguaia, que se mostrou fortemente dependente do comércio intrarregional.

A Cúpula proporcionou a entrada de novas associações da sociedade civil nos debates do Mercado Comum do Sul e, consequentemente, a inserção de demandas oriundas dessa nova agenda participativa no bloco. Embora as associações da sociedade civil que atuem na Cúpula tenham sua atuação predominantemente no âmbito nacional ou local, o MERCOSUL propicia uma estrutura de oportunidades que estimula a interconexão transnacional dessa sociedade civil – seja se tornando um lugar onde a sociedade civil possa buscar novas ideias e pressionar seus Estados, seja propagando ideias que foram frutíferas em seu país para outros, criando conexões. Para esta pesquisa exploratória foi utilizada uma análise qualitativa baseada principalmente em pesquisa documental. Assim, o mapeamento foi realizado a partir da análise de documentos oficiais do bloco obtidos na internet, tais como atas, resoluções, protocolos e as declarações finais das Cúpulas realizadas nos anos de 2006-2013. Além disso foram realizados diversos contatos para a obtenção de dados não disponíveis no ambiente virtual, destacando-se o realizado com a pesquisadora Dra. Janina Onuki que gentilmente cedeu entrevistas com alguns participantes das Cúpulas e a entrevista realizada com o Chefe da Assessoria Internacional da Secretaria Geral da Presidência da República, Fabrício Prado. Como base teórica, foi realizada uma revisão bibliográfica do conceito de Sociedade Civil na Teoria Democrática Contemporânea, buscando compreender sua adequação e aplicabilidade à realidade do continente latino-americano e ao MERCOSUL. Sendo este um bloco econômico de integração regional que tem estimulado a participação da sociedade civil nos últimos anos, essa dissertação procurar explorar um tema ainda recente e pouco estudado pelas novidades que apresenta. Procurou contribuir principalmente com uma caracterização geral – um retrato – das principais associações que participaram dos espaços autorizados pelo bloco, em termos de participação social e cidadã. / The present work sought to understand how is the performance of civil society within the Southern Common Market (MERCOSUR) considering: the associative format, the performance scale and the demands and interests that it presents. The Summit provided the introduction of new associations of civil society in the Southern Common Market discussions and consequently the inclusion of demands from this new participatory agenda in the block. Although civil society associations that work at the Summit have its operations predominantly at the national or local level, MERCOSUR provides a framework of opportunities that stimulate transnational interconnection between civil society – it is becoming a place where civil society is able to look for new ideas and push their States or propagate ideas from your country to the others, creating connections. For this exploratory research was carried out a qualitative analysis based mainly on documentary research. Thus, the mapping was done from the analysis block official documents obtained on the Internet, such as meeting minutes, resolutions, protocols and final declarations of the summits held in the years 2006-2013. Also they were made several contacts to obtain data not available in the virtual environment, especially the one with Dr. Janina Onuki researcher who kindly gave interviews with some participants of the Summit and the interview with the Head of International Advisory of General Secretariat from Presidency of the Republic, Fabrício Prado. As a theoretical basis, it was carried out a literature of the concept of civil society in Contemporary Democratic Theory, trying to understand their adequacy and applicability to the reality of the Latin American continent and the MERCOSUR. This being an economic bloc of regional integration that has stimulated the participation of civil society in recent years, this dissertation seek to exploit a recent theme and little studied by the news presenting. Tried to contribute mainly to a general characterization - a picture - the main associations that participated in the areas authorized by the block in terms of social and citizen participation.

Thesis briefly mentions history of Chile and introduces three efforts for regional integration - Free Trade Area of the Americas, Andean Community of Nations and Mercosur. In next chapters, bilateral relations of Chile to four other countries are described, namely relations to its neighbours (Argentina, Bolivia and Peru) and to Brazil as a largest economy of the Latin America. The goal of the work is to analyse an effort of Chile for regional integration.

The origins of Latin American regional integration can be found in the first half of nineteenth century, nevertheless the biggest boom of integration in Latin America have been observed during the last sixty years. Just after the World War II the Organization of American States was established followed by Latin American Free Trade Association, and many others. This thesis analyses the progress and its problems of six major processes of regional integration: OAS; LAFTA/LAIA; Andean Community; processes of integration in Central America and Caribbean; and MERCOSUR. The Thesis is complemented by brief introduction to theories of integration and by a summary of remaining processes of integration since WWII to the present.

This thesis addresses indigenous groups agency in trade governance to enhance their ability to affect international decision-making that benefits their capability to sustainable development. It conducts a case study of Articulation of Indigenous People Brazil (APIB) in the EU-Mercosur Agreement and utilizes Eimers (2020) theory of subaltern social movement theory to establish: what strategies the APIB have used in the decision-making processes of the “Mercosur Agreement?  This theory allows consideration of indigenous agency and the effect of post-colonial structures on their capability to keep control over their realties. To collect data on this topic the author uses qualitative semi-structured interviews and qualitative thematic text analysis. The thesis finds that framing strategies of claims enabled alliance-building in Brazil and Transnational Advocacy Coalitions, which used international norms to enhance indigenous interests. However, has post-colonial structures hindered APIB´s ability to enhance interest in Brazil and silenced indigenous interests in governmental representation in the making of the EU-Mercosur.

Tableau d’honneur de la Faculté des études supérieures et postdoctorales, 2007-2008. / Ce mémoire étudie le lien entre le régionalisme et la convergence des politiques. L'hypothèse est que le régionalisme favorise la dynamisation de réseaux régionaux dont l'action entraîne une convergence des politiques à l'intérieur de la zone d'intégration. Le cas étudié est le Mercosul, et nous étudions son influence sur la dynamisation d'un réseau syndical régional, la CCSCS. Ensuite, nous étudions l'impact de la CCSCS sur l'adoption de politiques du travail. Nos résultats confirment l'hypothèse, puisqu'une augmentation notoire des activités du réseau a été constatée à la suite de l'intégration. De plus, les quatre propositions et revendications étudiées de politiques régionales ont été adoptées par les institutions du Mercosul. Deux de celles-ci, l'Accord multilatéral de sécurité sociale et la Déclaration sociolaborale, ont été incorporés dans les ordres juridiques nationaux par la suite. Une fois incorporées, les politiques uniformément en vigueur dans les États représentent des cas de convergence des politiques nationales.

Le 25 mai 2003, le peuple argentin assistait à l’investiture présidentielle du candidat du Frente Para la Victoria, Néstor Kirchner. Suite à la défection de Carlos Menem pendant l’entre-deux tours, il est élu avec 22% des suffrages. Malgré cette faible légitimité, il réussit à insuffler un changement certain dans la politique argentine. L’objectif de ce travail de thèse est de montrer comment Néstor Kirchner est arrivé à imposer un nouveau système de référence et à tourner la page du passé néolibéral qui a conduit le pays à l’effondrement. Pour cela, notre travail se concentre d’abord sur la présentation nécessaire du contexte économique et politique antérieur aux élections de 2003. Cette contextualisation permet de mieux cerner les conditions dans lesquelles Néstor Kirchner est porté au pouvoir. Ensuite, nous étudions la lutte idéologique qui se met en place, notamment à l’intérieur même du péronisme, afin d’identifier les processus qui permettent au discours kirchnériste de devenir discours dominant. Enfin, il s’agira d’étudier les points de ruptures ou de convergences du kirchnérisme avec le populisme et le péronisme afin de mieux le caractériser. De plus, le décès de Néstor Kirchner survenu le 27 Octobre 2010 a provoqué un véritable choc. Aussi, l’étude de la figure post mortem de Kirchner permet de prendre la mesure du phénomène K, dans le sens où il symbolise à la fois une réhabilitation du politique, une reconstruction de la nation argentine et une refondation du péronisme au XXIème siècle. / On 25 May 2003, argentinian population attended the presidential nomination of the "Frente Para la Victoria" party candidate, Néstor Kirchner. Thanks to the defection of Carlos Menem between the two rounds, he was elected with 22% of votes. Despite this weak legitimacy, he succeeded in impulsing changes in Argentina political agenda. The purpose of this thesis is to show how Néstor Kirchner managed to impose a new system as a new reference, and to move on from a neoliberal past which led the country to collapse. Therefore, our work first focuses on a necessary presentation of economic and political background prior to 2003' elections. Such contextualisation allows us to have a better understanding of the conditions in which Néstor Kirchner reached the presidency. Then, we study the ideological struggle taking place afterwards, particularly within peronism itself, in order to identify the processes allowing the kirchnerist line to become a dominant speech. Finally, we will focus on Kirchnerism’s breakpoints or convergences with Peronist populism for a better characterization. In addition, the death of Néstor Kirchner the 27th of october 2010 caused a real shock. Also, the study of the postmortem figure of Kirchner allows us to estimate the "K" phenomenon, in the sense it symbolizes as well a rehabilitation of politics as a reconstruction of the argentinian nation, or an overhaul of peronism in the XXIst century.
