Entre luzes e sombras: a questão da livre circulação de pessoas no Mercosul

Abstract

Globalization has facilitated and required the intensification of the movement of people internationally. The Common Market of the South (Mercosur), since it was established through the 1991 Treaty of Asuncion, revealed an economic and political prioritization, to the detriment of people transit, migration or residence. However, since the objective of the bloc is to create a common market, it is necessary to intensify and discipline the free movement of productive factors, which depends on the free movement of persons, so that this objective can be fulfilled in its entirety. The issue of the free movement of persons in the processes of regional integration is included in a social agenda that covers, in addition to the demands related to work, those issues related to the right of residence in any of the countries of the bloc, to the protection of citizens and to the relevant conditions To free professional, technical, scientific or liberal exercise.
