This, no reservation, is a good book for those wishing to understand MERCOSUR's dynamics in Latin America. Kawu Bala Law and Politics Book Review Volume 23, No. 7 While there is a wealth of articles on specific topics, it is rare to find such a systemic and comprehensive approach to providing an excellent global overview of the MERCOSUR law and process to compliance officers working in multinational companies. ... I was pleasantly surprised by the balanced mix between theory and practice offered by the book. It is not only a handbook offering guidance on general and specific matters about MERCOSUR; it also provides insights into MERCOSUR's position in international economic law and general international law. From this point of view, the book is equally useful for academic researchers and in-house compliance officers in charge of projects or investments in MERCOSUR countries. The book can be strongly recommended to obtain comprehensive guidance and different perspectives on MERCOSUR law and process. Cristian Delpiano Lira Global Trade and Customs Journal Volume 6, Issue 10 This book, the first English language book on the law of MERCOSUR, covers in a detailed manner the vast array of fields which MERCOSUR law affects. Without any doubt, The Law of MERCOSUR presents an important contribution to the codification and better understanding of the regional integration process in MERCOSUR and will definitely become a point of reference for future works in this field. It draws a vivid picture of the foundations and specific implications of MERCOSUR law, providing comprehensive analyses of the law as it currently stands and ample food for thought with respect to future developments.
