The concept of sovereignty, the basis for creation of modern international law, has been suffering over the years profound changes in their characteristics. Before, all states were considered absolutely sovereign, but with increasing participation of international organizations and integrationist processes across the globe, this concept once thought of as immutable has been interpreted differently, with the aim of turn it more flexible. The integrationist movements present in Europe and South America also helped this paradigm shift, even adopting different models of integration: the European Union is based on the supranational model while the Mercosur adopts the intergovernmental model. Therefore, this paper aims to present the evolution and relaxation experienced by the principle of sovereignty over the years as well as the integration processes which have multiplied in recent decades mainly the European and South American integration. Finally, a comparison is made between the process of European integration and South American trying to understand how the adoption of either model can assist in deepening integration, and what problems may arise if the system adopted is supranational or intergovernmental
