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

Enabling Trade in the Pacific Alliance

Abstract:
This study combines a review of the potential for integrating production in the region with a targeted survey of regional businesses (conducted by the Integration and Trade Sector of the IDB, in collaboration with private-sector associations in the four member countries).

Efforts to reduce regional supply chain barriers to trade should typically begin with an assessment of the impacts of existing barriers. Input from the private sector can help governments to prioritise barriers based on how and to what degree they restrict the flow of goods within the region, and to generate ideas for initiatives to reduce these barriers.

In this report, survey results provide early signals of which barriers are seen as most restrictive to trade within the Pacific Alliance. Although these results are based on a relatively small sample of about 140 firms and have to be considered as preliminary, they are generally consistent with the findings of the Enabling Trade Index, and the authors believe they are accurate.

Sustainability of the extractive industry in the Pacific Alliance facing the rise of Global Value Chains

Abstract:
In this paper, we identify which global value chains made intensive use of minerals between 2005 and 2015. Input-output analysis instruments, complemented with network theory algorithms are used for this purpose. We also describe, under the weak and strong sustainability approach, the mechanisms of resource rent capture and distribution used in the Pacific Alliance countries, as well as the creation of environmental laws, which the governments have been forced to implement given the extractive boom of the 90s and the first decade of this century.

Prospects for the Pacific Alliance to Generate Productive Chains

Abstract:

This case study presents a revision of the methodology to analyse productive chains in the frame of global value chains. It incorporates a new dimension for analysis regarding the political and strategic factors that favour these chains to develop at the regional level in the context of regional integration processes. Complementing this approach, the paper considers the Asian experience and its active participation in global value chains and production networks to examine the new Latin American bloc –The Pacific Alliance. It aims to determine whether this bloc could create favourable conditions for intra-regional productive chains to achieve more effective insertion into the global economy.

Resumen:
Este estudio de caso presenta una revisión a la metodología para el análisis de las cadenas productivas en el marco de las cadenas globales de valor, e incorpora una dimensión de análisis referente a las condiciones políticas y estratégicas que pueden facilitar el establecimiento de este tipo de encadenamientos a nivel regional, en el ámbito de los procesos de integración. A partir de este esquema de análisis y del estudio de los factores relacionados a la experiencia asiática en la conformación de cadenas globales de valor, particularmente en lo referido a la articulación de procesos productivos, se analiza la Alianza del Pacífico – esquema de integración regional latinoamericano – para determinar si su creación podría generar condiciones favorables a la consolidación de encadenamientos productivos intra regionales que le permitan lograr una mejor inserción en el escenario económico internacional.

The Pacific Alliance and the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)

Abstract:
Not available

Extracto:
A través de la Iniciativa de la Franja y la Ruta (“Belt and Road Initiative -BRI” por sus siglas en inglés), China ha establecido relaciones bilaterales con los estados latinoamericanos.

“Consideramos que sería beneficioso para países como Chile, Colombia, México y Perú, que comparten intereses políticos y económicos en torno al bloque económico de la AP, que a través de esta canalizaran sus relaciones con la iniciativa BRI.”

También creemos que la AP, al ser un proyecto de integración económica que simultáneamente tiene un origen latinoamericano y un enfoque que es tanto el Pacífico latinoamericano como el asiático, la AP debería ser una institución adecuada para que sus miembros enmarquen y desarrollen su relación con China no de manera individual, sino regional.
(…)
Las cifras económicas muestran que el comercio intrabloque de la AP es bajo y que los miembros de la AP no tienen una participación significativa en las CGV. Por lo tanto, no parece tener mucho sentido entender a la AP como un proyecto destinado a integrar las economías de sus miembros entre sí o en las CGV. En cambio, la AP tiene sentido como una plataforma para negociaciones birregionales de bloque a bloque o bilaterales de bloque a estado con actores asiáticos como por ejemplo China.
