description This study aims to reveal the establishment of Mercosur through the System of Dispute Settlement. The research shows the relations between the institutional solution of trade disputes and the aspects of this system, explaining the procedures and instruments of this mechanism, which contributes to establish the Mercosur. In addition, it provides an understanding about the process which reformed the System. Although it resulted in the Protocol of Olivos, differences are still denoted such as the countries’ views about the establishment of the system. While Uruguay was defending the system as a legal strength, Brazil was reluctant, supporting the maintenance of procedures that would allow extensive negotiations by diplomatic and political ways. Therefore, some desired changes, like eliminating the step of intervention by the Common Market Group and also the access of individuals have not been accomplished. On the other hand, the creation of the Permanent Court of Review by the Protocol of Olivos was the largest institutional innovation to this System. However, its success depends on the willingness of the countries to use this Court and obey its decisions. Thus, this article clearly demonstrates that the preference of Brazil and Argentina for political negotiations affect the success of this institutional structure of Mercosur.

Este artigo analisa a institucionalização do Mercosul através do Sistema de Solução de Controvérsias. O estudo traça a relação entre a solução institucional dos conflitos comerciais e os aspectos desse Sistema para explicitar como os procedimentos e instrumentos desse mecanismo contribuem para a institucionalização do bloco. Ademais, discute-se como foi o processo de reformulação desse Sistema que, embora tenha resultado no Protocolo de Olivos, denotou divergências entre os Estados quanto a um órgão mais institucionalizado. Por outro lado, a criação do Tribunal Permanente de Revisão, no marco do Protocolo de Olivos, consistiu na maior inovação institucional ao Sistema. Entretanto, o seu êxito depende da vontade dos Estados em acionar esse Tribunal e acatar suas decisões. Nessa lógica, o trabalho demonstra como a preferência de Brasil e Argentina pelas negociações políticas fragiliza a consolidação dessa estrutura institucional do Mercosul. 2013-04-22 2022-03-18T16:17:23Z 2022-03-18T16:17:23Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/perspectivas/article/view/5939 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/61358 por https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/perspectivas/article/view/5939/4514 Copyright (c) 2013 Perspectivas: Revista de Ciências Sociais application/pdf Universidade Estadual Paulista / UNESP Perspectivas: Revista de Ciências Sociais; v. 42 (2012) 1984-0241 0101-3459
