The Role of the Pacific Alliance in the Revitalisation of the South American Foreign Agenda

Abstract:
The current state of the South American agenda –particularly the Mercosur– regarding the signing of trade agreements, has become one of the issues discussed mostly within the bloc.

This debate is held with varying success for the claim of the smallest members of Mercosur (Uruguay and Paraguay), but more recently and more drastically, also by the Brazilian private sector. There are at least two reasons that lead to the increasing relevance of the issue at hand for the internal agenda of South American countries.

On the one hand, changes internationally in recent years according to trade liberalisation of countries, international trade patterns and new forms of production. Furthermore, the recent creation of the Pacific Alliance, which by its nature and members positioned itself as a last generation agreement, not set to classic integration models usually reviewed by the classical theory.

Resumen:
El estado actual de la agenda sudamericana –en particular del Mercosur– en lo que refiere a la suscripción de acuerdos comerciales, se ha transformado en uno de los asuntos mayormente debatidos al interior del bloque. Dicho debate es sostenido con mayor o menor éxito por el reclamo de los miembros más pequeños del Mercosur (Uruguay y Paraguay), pero más recientemente, aunque de forma cada vez más firme, también por el sector privado brasileño.

Mercosur and The Pacific Alliance. Are There more Differences than Similarities?

Abstract:
Mercosur is going through difficulties, which are not unrelated to other integration processes in Latin America. In recent years there have been changes in the strategies of integration of the countries of the region, showing some differences in how to engage with developed economies like the U.S. and the European Union and more recently with Asia Pacific.
In short, Mercosur and the Pacific Alliance represent two models in the international integration of the region, which raises the question about the real differences between the two processes.

Resumen:
El Mercosur atraviesa por dificultades, a las que no son ajenas otros procesos de integración de América Latina. En los últimos años se han suscitado cambios en las estrategias de inserción de los países de la región, los que muestran algunas diferencias en cómo relacionarse con las economías desarrolladas como Estados Unidos y la Unión Europea y más recientemente con Asia Pacífico.
En definitiva, el Mercosur y la Alianza del Pacífico representan los dos modelos de inserción internacional de la región, lo que lleva a preguntarnos si realmente se está frente a dos procesos con características tan distintas.
