The Pacific Alliance: A New Example of Regionalism in Latin America

Abstract:
The Pacific Alliance was established as a project of deep integration between Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru. The question raised in this paper is which of the Latin American regionalism approaches is better suited for the theoretical characterisation of the Pacific Alliance initiative? The concepts of open regionalism and strategic regionalism are explained for the characterisation of this initiative, and their limits are highlighted by empirical evidence. The paper concludes that regionalism concepts that give greater emphasis to commercial dynamics are not sufficient to understand the current operation and performance of the Pacific Alliance. As such, a complementary analytical approach is introduced responding to the long-term global dynamics.

Resumen:
La Alianza del Pacífico se instituyó como una propuesta de integración profunda entre Chile, Colombia, México y Perú. La pregunta que se plantea en este trabajo es ¿cuál de los enfoques del regionalismo en América Latina es el más idóneo para caracterizar teóricamente la iniciativa de la Alianza del Pacífico? En este sentido, se exponen los conceptos de regionalismo abierto y regionalismo estratégico para caracterizar esta iniciativa, y se resaltan sus límites a partir de evidencia empírica. El trabajo concluye que los conceptos de regionalismo que dan mayor énfasis a las dinámicas comerciales no son suficientes para comprender el funcionamiento y desempeño actual de la Alianza del Pacífico, por lo que se introduce un enfoque analítico complementario, el cual responde a dinámicas globales de largo plazo.
