Abstract

IPPOLITO, Daniel. Revisitando viejos esquemas de cooperación transfronteriza en el MERCOSUR: un análisis de la institucionalidad de CRECENEA y su proyección hacia los Estados del Sur de Brasil (CODESUL). Pampa [online]. 2017, n.15, pp.9-29. ISSN 2314-0208.

This paper argues that a structural weakness of transboundary integration within MERCOSUR can be found in problems related to social construction and citizenry's sense of belonging to internal regions. It focuses on the Regional Commission for Foreign Trade of Northeastern Argentina (CRECENEA) and its transboundary actions with the Development Council for Southern Brazil (CODESUL). In particular, the survey analizes the institutional dimension of CRECENEA by analyzing the constitutions, laws, and bills of the respective provinces. It argues that in spite of the current immobility, CRECENEA as a transboundary region with CODESUL still remains as a strategic axis in the Argentine-Brazilian relations, MERCOSUR, the South American integration process and their financing policies.

Keywords : CRECENEA; CODESUL; MERCOSUR; Transboundary cooperation; Transboundary integration.
