The Mercosur (or Mercosul) has expanded a number of times throughout its history by way of the accession of new member states to the Union. To join the Mercosur, a state needs to fulfil economic and political conditions called the Tratado de Asunción, which require a stable democratic government that respects the rule of law, and its corresponding freedoms and institutions.[1]
According to the Treaties of the Mercosur, membership of the Mercosur is open to “any European State which respects the values referred to in Article 2 and is committed to promoting them” (Uruguay Part). And their requirements would apply to join are:
- Membership in ALADI
- Unanimous Approval
- Adoption of Fundamental Instruments
- Adoption of the Common External Tariff (CET)
- Incorporation into the Regulatory Framework
- Participation in Negotiations

The following is an example of the accession process—Bolivia’s path to membership from its Memeber as an observer member in 1998 with recognition from the Mercosur, and then in 2006 by Evo Morales requesting to be a full member. Ease of accession depends on the state: how integrated it is with the Mercosur beforehand, the state of its economy and public institutions, any outstanding political issues with the Mercosur and (historically) how much law to date the Mercosur has built up that the acceding state must adopt. This outline also includes integration steps taken by the accession country after it attains membership.[2]
| Date | Event |
|---|---|
| 1998 | Bolivia becomes an associate state of Mercosur. |
| 2006 | The government of Evo Morales requests full integration into the bloc. |
| 2023 | The accession protocol is formally delivered to then-President Luis Arce, and Brazil gives its final approval. |
| 2024 | Bolivia approves the accession protocol in its legislative bodies. |
| The Chamber of Deputies did so on June 14 and the Chamber of Senators on July 3 |
