The Pacific Alliance as a Regional Actor: Success Factors for Regional Cohesion towards International Integration

Abstract:
This article analyses the cohesion of the Pacific Alliance in terms of its consolidation as a regional player. From its creation, with the signing of the Framework Agreement in 2012, the establishment process starts from a passive object to an active subject according to the levels of regionality.

The Pacific Alliance is considered an embryonic project that seeks to respond to the challenges of globalisation. It aims towards the joint projection of its member-states and to become a platform for their international insertion. However, its consolidation as a regional player in Latin America faces significant challenges given the weaknesses and strengths in leadership, interdependence, convergence, identity and institutions. These aspects are success factors for regional cohesion to pool member-states´ opportunities and protect them against threats in the international system.

Resumen:
Este artículo analiza la cohesión regional de la Alianza del Pacífico para su consolidación como actor regional. A partir de su creación con la firma del Acuerdo Marco (2012), inicia el proceso de objeto pasivo a sujeto activo, de acuerdo con los niveles de regionalidad, siendo la Alianza del Pacífico un proyecto embrionario que busca responder a los retos de la globalización para una proyección mancomunada de sus países miembros y servir de plataforma de inserción internacional.

Sin embargo, su consolidación como actor regional dentro del orden latinoamericano enfrenta grandes desafíos dadas sus debilidades y fortalezas en materia de liderazgo, interdependencia, convergencia, identidad e institucionalidad como factores de éxito para la cohesión regional que catapulte potencialidades frente a las oportunidades y amenazas del sistema internacional.

The Pacific Alliance: Perspectives and Opportunities for Latin America

Abstract:

This book delves into the Pacific Alliance from different perspectives, including the realms of foreign diplomacy, economy, politics and technological aspects, whilst analysing the opportunities that may occur during this process of regional integration. […]

In short, this book aims to present a deep and meticulous analysis of what the Pacific Alliance is so far. Beyond delving into an informed explanation of the process of regional integration, the book tries not only to offer a landscape of untapped opportunities that may potentially contribute to the success of the Pacific Alliance but also to make serious recommendations in areas that may present substantial challenges for the Pacific Alliance.

The Pacific Alliance and its Geostrategic Relevance

Abstract:
Not available

Resumen:
La Alianza del Pacífico hace parte de un Nuevo Multilateralismo latinoamericano que muestra la relevancia de los factores externos en la construcción de regímenes internacionales. Sus cuatro miembros son potencias regionales de diverso rango las cuales presentan variados intereses en su participación, tendiendo a un Multilateralismo Cooperativo y a un liderazgo compartido por medio de la Secretaria Pro-tempore que rota anualmente entre los miembros de la Alianza del Pacífico.
En este sentido, el presente artículo busca dar respuesta a la importancia geopolítica que tiene la Alianza del Pacífico. Para ello examinaremos en primer lugar su configuración y características “autónomas” como región. En segundo lugar, analizaremos el nuevo multilateralismo, la geo-estrategia y la jerarquía de poder dentro de la Alianza del Pacífico.
En tercer lugar, observaremos los niveles de cooperación, interdependencia y liderazgo dentro de la misma. Finalmente, plantearemos algunas conclusiones.
