What challenges are posed for building analytical frameworks and empirical studies on regional integration processes in the South?The authors aim to contribute to this debate by producing a detailed empirical analysis of Brazil's foreign policy regarding the Southern Common Market (Mercosur) and South American regional integration.From a theoretical-methodological standpoint, the authors introduce an important innovation in this work, with a multilevel analysis of the Mercosur regional integration process, looking into the domestic, regional, and systemic levels.The foundations of this broad analysis are introduced in the first chapter (Introduction), in which they engage in a dialogue with different branches of Political Science and International Relations literature to point out the multifaceted character of the book's analytical framework.As the authors recognize the complex interconnection between how national and international factors influence Brazilian foreign policy and help to understand Mercosur's history, the structure of the book is based on two interrelated analytical dimensions.The first dimension, addressed in chapters 2 and 3, is related to ideas; the second dimension, addressed in chapters 4 through 7, discusses behavior and agency of political and economic interests
