Abstract

This article analyzes the positions of Brazilian internal bourgeoisie regarding
Mercosul between 2012 and 2022. The
theoretical framework of Nicos Poulantzas is used, and an empirical research is
carried out in documents of the business associations that represent the internal
bourgeoisie. The hypothesis is that this class fraction reacted to changes in
international politics and to the domestic political crisis. It is argued that the position
and interests of the internal bourgeoisie varied, conforming a pendulum movement
that transitioned between open regionalism and negotiated regionalism.
