Regional Integration in Latin America - The Pacific Alliance a Way Ahead
Spanish, Theses

Opportunities and Threats for Colombia from Being Part of the Pacific Alliance

Abstract:
The project analysed the asymmetries between the four economies of the Pacific Alliance members and how Colombia can face these challenges
and transform them into opportunities, according to the experience of its allies across different areas.
According to databases of the signatory countries, the project found that the trade balance between Colombia and Mexico has a deficit and is continuously growing. This deficit could be offset through future negotiations, and agricultural specialisation improving compliance with sanitary and phytosanitary measures required by those markets.
The doors are opened to enter into agreements of great importance such as the TPP. The Republic of Chile, the United States of Mexico and the Republic of Peru are already part of it, and this agreement represents an opportunity for Colombia to be in the Asia – Pacific market and to achieve the sustainability of its companies, industries and sectors in the global context.

Resumen:
Por medio de este proyecto se analizaron las asimetrías presentes en las economías de los cuatro países miembros de la Alianza del Pacífico y cómo Colombia puede enfrentar estos y retos y convertirlos en oportunidades de acuerdo a la experiencia en diferentes áreas de sus países aliados.
De acuerdo a las bases de datos de los países firmantes se encontró que la balanza comercial entre Colombia y México presenta un déficit y está en constante crecimiento, pudiendo ser contrarrestada con futuras negociaciones y especialización de la industria agropecuaria tomando mejores medidas sanitarias y fitosanitarias requeridas por dichos mercados.
Igualmente se abren las puertas para ingresar a acuerdos con gran índole mundial como el TPP, del cual la República de Chile, los Estados Unidos Mexicanos y la República del Perú ya hacen parte lo que representa para Colombia una oportunidad para penetrar al mercado de Asia – Pacífico y buscar la perdurabilidad de las empresas, industrias y sectores dentro de un contexto global.

The Geopolitical and Economic Relevance of the Pacific Alliance

Abstract:
This essay aims to map both the geopolitical and economic importance of Mexico, Colombia, Peru and Chile, inside the Pacific Alliance; and the leadership that this organisation has regionally and globally. With the interest of providing greater understanding to the analysis carried out, the essay will be taken into account the concept of geopolitics as “the science that studies the spacial causality of the political events and their future effects, through political geography, descriptive geography and history” by Amauri Gonzalez. The Pacific Alliance, created on April 28, 2011, by Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru, is considered a  regional integration initiative with an economic focus. The essay examines the goal of changing the economies of the four countries that are part of the organisation, the counterbalancing effect that it has in relation to organisations such as Mercosur or the Alba, and the market diversification from the Pacific Alliance towards the Asia-Pacific region.

Resumen:
El objetivo principal del presente ensayo es divisar la importancia de la ubicación geoestratégica de México, Colombia, Perú y Chile, esencialmente en la Alianza del Pacifico, junto a la importancia económica y el liderazgo que representa esta organización a nivel regional y nivel mundial. Con el interés de brindar mayor entendimiento al análisis que se realiza se tienen en cuenta el concepto de geopolítica como la “ciencia que, a través de la geografía política, la geografía descriptiva y la historia, estudia la causalidad espacial de los sucesos políticos y sus futuros efectos” según Amauri Gonzalez. La Alianza del Pacifico, desde su creación el 28 de abril de 2011 por Chile, Colombia, México y Perú es considerada como la iniciativa de integración regional en pro del aspecto económico. Esta se  enfoca en el cambio de la economía de los cuatro países y ver el contraste que hace en la región contra Mercosur o el Alba, también se observara la diversificación del mercado hacia la región de Asia y el Pacifico que es el fin de la Alianza del Pacifico.
