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

The Pacific Alliance, organisational legal aspects and its dispute resolution system

Abstract:
Not available

Resumen:
La Alianza del Pacífico ha sido abundantemente analizada por las relaciones internacionales, las ciencias políticas y la economía, poniendo de relieve algunos elementos que la caracterizan, presentándola como un fenómeno nuevo a nivel de integración en América Latina.

Sin embargo, este esquema no ha sido suficientemente abordado desde el Derecho, y haciéndonos cargo de ese vacío relativo, este trabajo busca aportar una mirada general acerca de sus aspectos orgánicos y de su sistema de solución de controversias, comparando lo planteado en esta propuesta con las experiencias sobre la materia que se han dado en otras iniciativas de integración vigentes, a fin de poder proyectar la eficiencia de sus disposiciones jurídicas.

The Pacific Alliance: The Aesthetic Challenge of the Dispute Resolution Mechanisms

Abstract:
Latin American regionalism, whether analysed through political science or international law, intrigues and questions: between globalisation and fragmentation, how to understand inter-systemic relations? Or, put another way, how to untangle the spaghetti bowl from the multiplication of regional integration and WTO universalist project perspective? The Pacific Alliance, launched in 2011 by Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru, is presented here as a possible answer. This article aims to analyse the embryonic Pacific Alliance dispute settlement mechanism in light of the Kantian criterion of effectiveness.

Resumen:
El regionalismo latinoamericano, bien sea analizado a través de la ciencia política o bien del derecho internacional, intriga y cuestiona: entre la universalización y la fragmentación, ¿cómo comprender las relaciones intersistémicas? O dicho de otra manera, ¿cómo desenredar el spaghetti bowl desde la perspectiva de la multiplicación de las integraciones regionales y del proyecto universalista de la OMC? La Alianza del Pacífico, iniciada en 2011 por Chile, Colombia, México y Perú, se presenta aquí como una respuesta posible. El presente artículo propone analizar el mecanismo embrionario de solución de controversias de la Alianza del Pacífico a la luz del criterio kantiano de la eficacia.

The Pacific Alliance and Its Effect on Latin America: Must a Continental Divide be the Cost of a Pacific Alliance Success?

Abstract:
The Pacific Alliance, launched in 2011, has focused its energies upon advancing trade and integration while maintaining that the association is strictly apolitical—a first in Latin America. This note argues that while the Pacific Alliance will bring success to its member countries, this same success will divide Latin American nations.

The division will in turn cause decreased trade amongst the nations, and the region will lose the opportunity to engage in complementary growth. In order to mitigate these adverse effects, the Pacific Alliance should make efforts to maintain enduring and meaningful relations with the rest of Latin America. On the eve of its possible expansion, it is essential, however, that the Pacific Alliance maintain its focus on trade liberalisation and not become another refuge for politically like-minded countries.

Part II explains the different levels of integration offered by trade agreements and provides a brief history of regionalism in South America. To predict the future of the Pacific Alliance, the structure must be evaluated, and the past must be contextualised.

Part III presents the first argument of the paper, mainly that the Pacific Alliance will bring success to its member nations. The three factors required for a successful regional trade agreement are common national characteristics, policies that foster long-run economic growth, and the establishment of both a supranational entity and an effective dispute resolution system.
