Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Given disagreements between the United States and several South American countries, led by Brazil, about the substance of the Free Trade Area of the Americas, the member states of MERCOSUR and the Andean Community in December 2004 established the South American Community of Nations (SACN). Modeled after European integration, it seeks to establish, among others things, a common currency, parliament, and passport by 2019. The purpose of this paper is to probe whether the substantive ambitions of the SACN could plausibly bear fruit. The theoretical literature on comparative regional integration posits that the eventual attainment of an economic union necessitates that steps toward (further) regional integration of a given bloc and the domestic institutional homogeneity in its member states must continuously reinforce each other through sequential feedback loops. Against this backdrop, I institutionally and procedurally contrast the aspirations of the SACN with the EU as the only successful empirical case.
