Resumo: Paraguay is a country remarkably open to trade, yet economic actors have thus far been reluctant to deepen the regional integration process. The reasons for the emergence of these perceptions have not been analyzed in recent years, reducing the discussion mainly to the benefits and costs of regional integration as it was implemented, as well as the regional and institutional weaknesses in managing that process. Using a review of existing literature, this essay will attempt, firstly, to describe the conditions under which Paraguay entered Mercosur, and the challenges the country faced under the block existence. Secondly, it will observe both the institutional changes made by Paraguay in order to take advantage of Mercosur, and those still unresolved deficiencies that impede that action. Thirdly, it will analyze the benefits and costs incurred throughout the changes in the integration process; and its theoretical approaches of evaluation. Finally, it will make some final considerations regarding the possibilities and paths of Paraguay in the integration process.

Las razones para el surgimiento de estas percepciones no han sido analizadas completamente, reduciéndose la discusión mayormente a los beneficios y los costos de la integración regional tal cual fue implementada, y a las deficiencias institucionales regionales para gestionar el proceso. Utilizando una revisión de la literatura existente, este ensayo intentará, en primer lugar, describir las condiciones en que Paraguay entró al Mercosur y los desafíos que enfrentó a lo largo de la existencia del bloque. En segundo lugar, se observarán tanto las transformaciones institucionales del Paraguay para el mejor aprovechamiento del Mercosur, así como aquellos déficits aun no resueltos que lo impiden. En tercer lugar, se analizarán los beneficios y los costos a la luz de los cambios en el proceso de integración, y sus enfoques teóricos de evaluación. Por último, haremos algunas consideraciones finales referentes a las posibilidades y los caminos de Paraguay en el proceso de integración.Editora da Pucrs - ediPUCRS2010-06-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/index.php/civitas/article/view/603310.15448/1984-7289.2010.1.6033Civitas: journal of Social Sciences; Vol. 10 No. 1 (2010): Politics and South-American integration; 118-133Civitas: revista de Ciências Sociais; Vol. 10 Núm. 1 (2010): Política e integração sul-americana; 118-133Civitas: revista de Ciências Sociais; v. 10 n. 1 (2010): Política e integração sul-americana; 118-1331984-72891519-608910.15448/1984-7289.2010.1reponame:Civitas - Revista de Ciências Sociais (Porto Alegre.
