Descrição
Resumo:In international relations there are two relevant phenomena, regional integration and paradiplomacy, the international performance of subnational entities. These elements, in the South American context, are manifested in Mercociudades Network. This is an organization of municipalities formed to promote the participation of local governments in MERCOSUR. Given this, the growing relevance of cities on the international stage brings the possibility of the Network to contribute to deepen the regional integration agenda, exploring the pressing issue of border integration. Thus, the aim is to examine its performance within MERCOSUR, to ascertain its role on the border issue in the block.
