We argue that changes in domestic hegemonic norms, since the election of parties of the New Left in the four member countries, transferred into the region. By using the constructivist ‘norm life cycle’ model, we attempt to explain what brought this change and how it impacted on the policy making process in the region.

the strategies adopted by a state with relatively few traditional “hard power” resources:
Uruguay. Building on works within international relations that employ more expansive
understandings of power, it looks at two cases: (A) the 2005 conflict with Argentina
about the installation in Fray-Bentos, on the margins of River Uruguay, of the Botnia
paper mill and (B) the case of imposition of tobacco control measures by the government
of Uruguay leading to a lawsuit by three tobacco brands: Philip Morris Brands Sàrl,
Philip Morris Products S.A. and Abal Hermanos S.A. The paper concludes by saying that
power was constructed responding to specific threats, using pre-existing non-material
resources which, shaped its identity and helped it achieve its interests in the international
system.
