Member states and associated states in MERCOSUR

Regarding the economic features, in the first place, the total annual GDP of MERCOSUR in 2018 was 2,627,535M.$, being the Brazil GDP the greater than the rest of members with a 1,867,818M.$. Likewise,  the total GDP per capita in the same year was 8,622$ (Country Economy, n.d.) At the beginning of MERCOSUR, in 1995, Brazil accounted for about 70% of the total GDP of Mercosur, because its economic performance, domestic policies, and negotiating position within the bloc, which had a major impact on the overall development of the integration process, methodology, and agenda.
