Descripción:Among the last years of the Obama Administration, the United States leaded the negotiation of two agreements that would change the commercial global scene: the Transpacific Partnership and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership. These agreements, conceptualized as mega-regional by their intention to crate integrated economic zones with partners of different geographic areas with the sufficient weight to create new dynamics in the global commerce, would produce in the short term a double impact. On the one hand, to deepen the current regulations in the scope of the WTO, including areas not agreed as government procurement or electronic commerce. On the other hand, to contain China's growth. The hypothesis that will be explored in the article is that the rejection of the TPP and the current parenthesis in the TTIP negotiations could be a window of opportunity for Mercosur, which not being part of the negotiations, could at their minimum maintain the current status quo and, at their maximum, negotiate in better terms the historically pending agreement with the European Union, as well as improve its trade links with Asia.
