As possibilidades de formação de um bloco supranacional na América do Sul através da experiência do Parlasul

Abstract

With the increase in the globalization process, in which international relations become increasingly complex, we have a mitigation of the so called national sovereignty, perceived through the transformation of the classic concept of State. I n this sense, new protagonists appear with legal personality in the global scenario, with diverse and supranational competences. Based on the study of regional integration in South America, focusing on the constitution and understanding of the functioning of MERCOSUR and its parliament, PARLASUL, we analyze the extent to which it is possible to establish on the continent a body that deliberates supranationally, through a legitimate institute, representing the interests of the region. To this end, we carried out a bibliographic review of the main constitutive documents of these bodies, to understand why, even with a solid structure in relation to the integration problems, especially if we look at other integrationist realities, PARLASUL still lacks effective action in our continent. and in the internal legal systems of the countries that compose it, as well as the regional bloc it represents, MERCOSUR.
