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

The Geopolitical and Economic Relevance of the Pacific Alliance

Abstract:
This essay aims to map both the geopolitical and economic importance of Mexico, Colombia, Peru and Chile, inside the Pacific Alliance; and the leadership that this organisation has regionally and globally. With the interest of providing greater understanding to the analysis carried out, the essay will be taken into account the concept of geopolitics as “the science that studies the spacial causality of the political events and their future effects, through political geography, descriptive geography and history” by Amauri Gonzalez. The Pacific Alliance, created on April 28, 2011, by Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru, is considered a  regional integration initiative with an economic focus. The essay examines the goal of changing the economies of the four countries that are part of the organisation, the counterbalancing effect that it has in relation to organisations such as Mercosur or the Alba, and the market diversification from the Pacific Alliance towards the Asia-Pacific region.

Resumen:
El objetivo principal del presente ensayo es divisar la importancia de la ubicación geoestratégica de México, Colombia, Perú y Chile, esencialmente en la Alianza del Pacifico, junto a la importancia económica y el liderazgo que representa esta organización a nivel regional y nivel mundial. Con el interés de brindar mayor entendimiento al análisis que se realiza se tienen en cuenta el concepto de geopolítica como la “ciencia que, a través de la geografía política, la geografía descriptiva y la historia, estudia la causalidad espacial de los sucesos políticos y sus futuros efectos” según Amauri Gonzalez. La Alianza del Pacifico, desde su creación el 28 de abril de 2011 por Chile, Colombia, México y Perú es considerada como la iniciativa de integración regional en pro del aspecto económico. Esta se  enfoca en el cambio de la economía de los cuatro países y ver el contraste que hace en la región contra Mercosur o el Alba, también se observara la diversificación del mercado hacia la región de Asia y el Pacifico que es el fin de la Alianza del Pacifico.
