Abstract: 본 보고서에서는 MERCOSUR와 PA의 역내외 통합에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. MERCOSUR와 PA의 역내외 통합에 대한 이해는 현재 진행되고 있는 협상을 위해 우리가 선제적으로 갖춰야 할 부분인 동시에 협상 타결 후 이들과 원활하게 교류하기 위한 중요한 밑거름이 될 것이다. 본 연구에서 다루는 역내외 통합은 몇 가지 의미를 지니고 있다. 먼저 무역, 투자, 역내공급망 등의 분야에서 통합지수(index)를 구축하고 분석함으로써 넓은 의미에서 통합 정도를 가늠한다. 이에 더해 MERCOSUR와 PA 출범 이후 회원국간의 통상갈등 사례를 조명함으로써 역내 통합의 저해 사례와 그 배경에 대해 분석한다. 그리고 MERCOSUR와 PA 간 무역협정 중에 나타난 문제점들을 짚어봄으로써 회원국간의 통합을 저해하는 요인 및 협상대상국과의 갈등 요인을 분석한다. MERCOSUR and the Pacific Alliance (PA) are the two major trade blocs in Latin America. Currently, Korea is negotiating a trade agreement (TA) with MERCOSUR and PA. The countries that Korea has signed FTAs ​​in Latin America include Chile, Peru, Colombia and six Central American countries. In other words, Korea has signed free trade agreements with most Latin American countries except Brazil, Mexico, and Argentina. Therefore, to have enhanced access to the Latin American market, Korea-MERCOSUR TA and joining the PA as an associate member is important for Korea. In this report we study the nature of internal and external integration of MERCOSUR and PA. For better integration of Korea and these Latin American trade blocs in the future, it would be important to understand their current level and nature of integration. The integration in this study has several facets. First, we take a quantitative approach. To do this an integration index is constructed and analyzed. This index considers integration in trade, value chains and so on. The second approach is more qualitative. Specifically the case of the MERCOSUR-EU Trade Agreement and PA associate member negotiation process are investigated. By doing this, we analyze the factors that hinder the external integration of these blocs. (the rest omitted)
