Abstract
This paper discusses the role of Mercosur as a catalysing agent for policy dissemination among member-states. A comparative perspective was adopted, taking into account the works of scholars who have studied policy dissemination in the European context. A categorization typology, created by such scholars, separates and classifies policy dissemination processes by their fidelity to the original source. It was possible to conclude that Mercosur’s many thematic departments can be considered as chambers that allow for the exchange of experiences and ideas, resulting indeed in policy dissemination processes, even if they fall in the “weak” categories.
KEYWORDS Mercosur, dissemination, policy transfer, policy diffusion, public policy.
