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

Converging National Interests towards a Collective Gamble –The Pacific Alliance

Abstract:
This paper investigates the determinants that made possible the creation of the Pacific Alliance. For this purpose, this work describes the international and regional context in which the Alliance was created and that allowed the convergence of related interests between Chile, Colombia, Peru and Mexico. These converging interests, determined by similar identities, led to the creation of a collective project: The Pacific Alliance. The paper argues that the interests, characteristics and similar identities, configured national preferences that were materialised in the creation of an economic integration project with particular characteristics. This project serves as a platform for the coordination, articulation, insertion and economic development of its members.

Resumen:
Este documento indaga sobre los determinantes que hicieron posible la creación de la Alianza del Pacífico. Para ello, se describen elementos del contexto internacional y regional dentro del cual se gestó la Alianza, y que permitió la convergencia de unos intereses afines entre Chile, Colombia, Perú y México que, determinados por identidades similares, desembocaron en un proyecto colectivo: La Alianza del Pacífico. El argumento principal es que los intereses, las características y las identidades comunes configuraron unas preferencias nacionales que fueron materializadas en la creación de un proyecto de integración económica con características particulares, que sirve de plataforma para la coordinación, la articulación, la inserción y el desarrollo económico de sus miembros.

Comparative Analysis of the Insertion Strategies in the Asia Pacific Region between Colombia and Chile –The Pacific Alliance and APEC (2010-2016)

Abstract:
Regional integration has shown a transformation in the dynamics of international trade resulting in the creation of Mega Trade Agreements (MAC). These agreements raise new standards of commercialisation through productive chains.

This context implies a possible scenario where the rules imposed by the World Trade Organization (WTO) would become obsolete with respect to the regulations proposed by the MACs, causing adverse effects to within the economies that do not participate in them. These dynamics have been developed mainly in the Asia Pacific region, taking into account that this region has positioned itself within the international system as a new economic focus; it is relevant to developing countries due to its commercial dynamism and economic growth, making it necessary to establish relations with this market.

Colombian is lagging behind in politics and foreign trade with this region, causing competitive disadvantages to the country when compared to its peers in the Pacific Alliance. For this reason, this project aims to analyse the commercial insertion strategies of Chile and Colombia in the markets of the Asia Pacific region, specifically in the multilateral scenarios of APEC and Pacific Alliance, during the period 2010-2016. The study takes into account that Chile has had a successful insertion in this region. This project describes Chiles’ insertion processes to establish the elements of the Chilean strategy that can favour Colombia’s commercial insertion strategy into the Asia Pacific markets to propose recommendations to this field of Colombia’s foreign policy.

Resumen:
La integración regional ha evidenciado una transformación en las dinámicas de comercio internacional, dando como resultado la creación de Mega Acuerdos Comerciales (MAC) que plantean nuevos estándares de comercialización y producción a partir del surgimiento de encadenamientos productivos.
