摘要：The present study is an essay on the possible theoretical feasibility of the transferability, to the living experience of Mercosur, of the European "Schengen Area". After some preliminary notes, we begin with a small comparative sketch between the European Union (with which the "Schengen Area" basically identifies today) and the Mercosur. The following is a concise look at the origin and development of the "Schengen Area", in order to understand its main philosophy and the way by which it has been materialized. This study ends with a short dissection of the decisive elements conducive to providing an answer to the initially formulated question.
