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

The Process of Regional Integration in Latin America since the Establishment of the Pacific Alliance –A Comparison with Mercosur

Abstract:
From the establishment of the Pacific Alliance initiative in 2012, the scheme of regional integration in Latin America has taken a different turn. We are in a situation where neighbouring countries should share, in the same territorial space, two international organisations, Mercosur and the Pacific Alliance. These organisations guide their way to integration and joint development in parallel paths and have been oriented towards the growth of cooperation and policy coordination in ways that conflict with each other.
While they have points in common in their foundation, Mercosur and the Pacific Alliance have aspects that distinguish one from another. The paths followed by each of them has temporary differences. These distinctions have also invited for reconsideration of the problems they faced, they are facing and will face in the future, to achieve the goal, elusive over time, of comprehensive and effective integration in the Latin American region.

Resumen:
A partir de la creación de la iniciativa Alianza del Pacífico en el año 2012, el esquema de la integración regional en América Latina ha tomado un viraje distinto. Nos encontramos ante una situación donde países vecinos deben compartir, en un mismo un espacio territorial, dos organizaciones internacionales, el Mercosur y la Alianza del Pacífico, que guían sus vías de integración y desarrollo conjunto en caminos paralelos, y que han sido creadas para orientar el crecimiento de la cooperación y coordinación de políticas en sentidos que las oponen entre sí.
Si bien tienen puntos en común en su conformación, el Mercosur y la Alianza del Pacífico poseen aspectos que los distinguen uno del otro. Los caminos recorridos por ambos también poseen diferencias temporales que invitan a una reconsideración de los problemas que enfrentaron, enfrentan y van a enfrentar en un futuro, para lograr el objetivo, esquivo a lo largo del tiempo, de una integración amplia y efectiva en la región latinoamericana.
