Elite mediation and the politics of the EU–Mercosur deal in Brazil and Argentina

Main question: Who gets to speak for Mercosur in the EU–Mercosur deal? Argument: In Brazil and Argentina, the deal is filtered through elite mediation, not neutral state interest. Agribusiness, export coalitions and investor-confidence politics shape how integration is framed. Conclusion: The agreement is as much about representation and power as it is about trade.
The EU–Mercosur agreement is being mediated through domestic elite structures in Brazil and Argentina, while many of its social costs are likely to be dispersed across everyday life.
