Resumo: | In this article, we argue that the Hugo Chávez’s strategy to apply for full membership into Mercosul must be contextualized in the framework of political changes in Venezuela and of the extent to which these changes have influenced the foreign policy decision making process in this country. Consequently, any decision-making on regional integration adopted in Venezuela is subordinated to the achievement of three foreign policy objectives: the fight against a unipolar order, which was recently transformed into an anti-imperialism campaign; the rejection of neo-liberalism and the capitalist system, and the promotion of Bolivarian integration. The difficulties in making these foreign policy objectives with the strategic, political and institutional reality in Mercosul compatible, and the economic costs of implementing the trade liberalization approved in the Protocol of Caracas explain why it is so hard for Venezuela to be a Mercosul full member. |

Neste sentido, qualquer decisão do governo venezuelano em matéria de integração regional está subordinada à consecução dos três objetivos básicos da política exterior do país: a luta contra a ordem unipolar, transformada nos anos recentes em anti-imperialismo; a rejeição ao neoliberalismo, que se converteu em anticapitalismo e a promoção da integração bolivariana. A dificuldade de compatibilizar os objetivos da política exterior venezuelana com a realidade política, estratégica e regulamento institucional do Mercosul e os custos econômicos que teria para o país adotar o programa de liberalização do Protocolo de Caracas explicam as dificuldades da adesão venezuelana ao Mercosul.Editora da Pucrs - ediPUCRS2010-06-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/index.php/civitas/article/view/625010.15448/1984-7289.2010.1.6250Civitas: journal of Social Sciences; Vol. 10 No. 1 (2010): Politics and South-American integration; 77-96Civitas: revista de Ciências Sociais; Vol. 10 Núm. 1 (2010): Política e integração sul-americana; 77-96Civitas: revista de Ciências Sociais; v. 10 n. 1 (2010): Política e integração sul-americana; 77-961984-72891519-608910.15448/1984-7289.2010.1reponame:Civitas - Revista de Ciências Sociais (Porto Alegre.

In this article, we argue that the Hugo Chávez’s strategy to apply for full membership into Mercosul must be contextualized in the framework of political changes in Venezuela and of the extent to which these changes have influenced the foreign policy decision making process in this country. Consequently, any decision-making on regional integration adopted in Venezuela is subordinated to the achievement of three foreign policy objectives: the fight against a unipolar order, which was recently transformed into an anti-imperialism campaign; the rejection of neo-liberalism and the capitalist system, and the promotion of Bolivarian integration. The difficulties in making these foreign policy objectives with the strategic, political and institutional reality in Mercosul compatible, and the economic costs of implementing the trade liberalization approved in the Protocol of Caracas explain why it is so hard for Venezuela to be a Mercosul full member. |
