Resumo

The International Monetary System does not reflect transformations in the global economy. Being impossible to reform it, economic integration processes may be a “second-best” alternative. By analyzing the European Monetary Union we conclude that MERCOSUR and UNASUR should conceive regimes in less restrictive forms and develop fiscal and political integration.
