Abstract
Artigo O artigo investiga o papel das instituições do Mercosul no processo de transferência de políticas entre os Estados--membros em três áreas específicas: educação, saúde e migração. O argumento principal é que essas instituições tornaram-se espaços formadores de políticas públicas, atuando como facilitadoras da transferência de políticas nos três casos empíricos examinados. O artigo pretende contribuir para o desenvolvimento de estudos empíricos de transferência de políticas públicas nos processos de integração regional. Os blocos regionais criam espaços de articulação de ideias e trocas de experiências entre os gestores de políticas públicas. A metodologia envolveu análise de documentos oficiais do bloco e entrevistas. Apesar do seu caráter intergovernamental e da sua baixa institucionalização, o Mercosul desempenhou funções importantes no processo de formulação de políticas públicas nacionais nas três áreas selecionadas na pesquisa.

Summary
This article analyzes the role of Mercosur institutions in policy transfer in three areas related to the movement of people between member and associate states. It was possible to observe a proliferation of areas for debate and policy formation involving education, health and migration This is the case of the Specialized Migration Forum (SMF) of the Meeting of Ministers of the Interior, which played a key role in the formulation of the residency agreements and in advancing the rules on free movement. In the area of health, we highlight the Subcommittee on Professional Development and Practice (SPDP) of the Working Subgroup 11, linked to the Common Market Group (CMG). As is often the case, states imported the experiences learned in Mercosur and adapted the policies proposed according to their national realities and interests — practices known as institutional bricolage (De Jong, 2013) or institutional grafting (Pessali, 2011) After this introduction, this article is organized in five sections. The fifth and final section shows the conclusions reached and a discussion of the empirical cases, with a focus on the impact of the Mercosur institutions on those transfers
