Beyond Trade Relations: Insertion of the Pacific Alliance Members into the Asia-Pacific Region

Abstract:
The twentieth-first century has been deemed as the “Pacific century”. The Pacific Alliance is not unrelated to this phenomenon and, among other reasons, it is meant to serve for a better insertion of its member-states into the international arena, and more specifically, into the Asian side of the Pacific.

This insertion tends to be explained in terms of trade, which has increased over the last years and plays a central role in the relations among member-states. However, trade alone does not cover the wide range of ties that Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru have with the Asia-Pacific region. In addition, their foreign policy is not limited to the search for new markets and economic partners.

This article presents a systematisation of the treaties signed among the current Pacific Alliance members and China, South Korea and Japan between 1990 and 2016. Based on a comparative analysis of the treaties, it is observed that trade has, in fact, little participation as part of the overall relations between the Pacific Alliance and the Asia-Pacific region.

Resumen:
El siglo XXI ha sido considerado como el siglo del Pacífico. La Alianza del Pacífico no es ajena a dicho fenómeno la cual, entre otros motivos, surgió para lograr una mejor inserción de sus países miembro en esta área y, más específicamente, en la parte asiática del Pacífico. Dicha inserción ha tendido a explicarse en términos de intercambios comerciales, los cuales se han incrementado en los últimos años y tienen una importancia central en las interrelaciones, pero no evidencian el amplio alcance que tienen las relaciones entre Chile, Colombia, México y Perú con Asia-Pacífico; además, la política exterior no se limita a la búsqueda de nuevos mercados y socios económicos.

Este trabajo presenta una sistematización de tratados establecidos entre los países que son actualmente miembros de la Alianza del Pacífico con China, Corea y Japón entre los años 1990 y 2016. A partir del análisis comparado del conjunto de tratados se observa que el tema de comercio tiene una participación muy baja en la totalidad de las relaciones que se consolidan a través de los tratados.
