A Resurgent MERCOSUR: Confronting Economic Crises and Negotiating Trade Agreements
Thomas Andrew O'Keefe
North South Center
University of Miami
Agenda Paper #60
January 2003

That scenario, of course, carries important implications for the United States' strategy in negotiating a Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) by 2005.
