From the Paper:

"One of the results of this increased push for Latin American cooperation was the Mercosur, a trading bloc that was established in 1991. Among the results of this trade was the "strategic restructuring" of the country relations between Brazil and Argentina, a relationship that has been characterized by antagonism. By the 1990s, Mercosur included Paraguay, Uruguay, Bolivia and Chile. The treaty called for an open regionalism, paving the way for more connected economies (Lafer 218)."
