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

Converging National Interests towards a Collective Gamble –The Pacific Alliance

Abstract:
This paper investigates the determinants that made possible the creation of the Pacific Alliance. For this purpose, this work describes the international and regional context in which the Alliance was created and that allowed the convergence of related interests between Chile, Colombia, Peru and Mexico. These converging interests, determined by similar identities, led to the creation of a collective project: The Pacific Alliance. The paper argues that the interests, characteristics and similar identities, configured national preferences that were materialised in the creation of an economic integration project with particular characteristics. This project serves as a platform for the coordination, articulation, insertion and economic development of its members.

Resumen:
Este documento indaga sobre los determinantes que hicieron posible la creación de la Alianza del Pacífico. Para ello, se describen elementos del contexto internacional y regional dentro del cual se gestó la Alianza, y que permitió la convergencia de unos intereses afines entre Chile, Colombia, Perú y México que, determinados por identidades similares, desembocaron en un proyecto colectivo: La Alianza del Pacífico. El argumento principal es que los intereses, las características y las identidades comunes configuraron unas preferencias nacionales que fueron materializadas en la creación de un proyecto de integración económica con características particulares, que sirve de plataforma para la coordinación, la articulación, la inserción y el desarrollo económico de sus miembros.
