do Brasil
In Collins it is translated as "adhesion" or "support" (patrocínio). Also in Proz, the translation of "admission" is given in certain circumstances. What would be best here?
Was Venezuela actually admitted into Mercosur (Spanish) or Mercosul (Portuguese) or the economic community of Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Uguguay, or is it only support?
Com a Argentina, Caracas criou a empresa Petrosur, com o objetivo de coordenar as políticas energéticas dos dois países. O Brasil aderiu logo depois, anunciando a construção, com a PDVSA, de uma grande refinaria em Pernambuco. E, em dezembro de 2005, Venezuela, Brasil e Argentina lançaram o projeto de um gasoduto faraônico, que, se completado, unirá a Venezuela à Argentina, passando pelo Sul do Brasil. Cortejando também o Uruguai (ao qual propõe a troca do petróleo por carne) e o Paraguai, Chávez conseguiu obter a adesão de seu país ao Mercosul, contra as tentativas dos EUA de isolar Caracas na região.

entry
Venezuela did actually join, so 'entry' (possibly with 'gain' - see link) is the meaning. You may of course find synonyms more suitable.

Admission was my No. 1; Though Mike seemed to hesitate between adhesion and support, that is why I mentioned it as well.

: Admission is best and fits perfectly into the context. Adhesion isn´t used much.

Portuguese term (edited):
conseguiu obter a adesão de seu país
succeeded in getting his country admitted
I think you need to change the structure, because the noun is awkward.
"Chávez succeeded in getting his country admitted to Mercosur despite attempts by the US to isolate Caracas from the rest of the region"
"Chávez succeeded in getting his country admitted to Mercosur despite attempts by the US to isolate Caracas from the rest of the region"
