This book provides a distinctive and empirically rich account of
the European Union's relationship with the Common Market of the
South (Mercosur). It seeks to examine the motivations that
determine the EU's policy towards Mercosur; the most important
relationship the EU has with another regional economic integration
organization. In order to investigate these motivations (or lack
thereof), this study examines the contribution of the main policy-
and decision-makers, the European Commission and the Council of
Ministers, as well as the different contributions of the two
institutions. It analyses the development of EU policy towards
Mercosur in relation to three key stages. Arana argues that the
dominant explanations in the literature fail to adequately explain
the EU's policy, in particular, these accounts tend to infer the
EU's motives from its activity. Rather than the EU pursuing a
strategy, as implied by most of the existing literature, the EU was
largely responsive, which explains why the relationship is much
less developed than the EU's relations with other parts of the
world. -- .
