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

Structural Analysis of the Economic Network of Exports and Imports of the Pacific Alliance and the Southern Common Market

Abstract:
Several integration treaties have occurred in the history of Latin America. The most recent of them is the Pacific Alliance, which represents an opportunity for regional unification with the Southern Common Market. Studies on this issue and trade about integrations with central structures and blocs of countries on the periphery which promote regional asymmetries are recurrent. Consistent with this, the objective of this study is to analyse the structural centrality of the commercial, economic exchange of both blocs and eventual integration. The research method involved calculating centrality metrics grounded in network theory. It is concluded that the blocks have a layered structure and final effective integration should move towards a strategic regionalism.

Resumen:
Diversos tratados de integración han ocurrido en la historia de Latinoamérica. El más reciente de ellos es la Alianza del Pacífico, que representa una oportunidad de unificación regional con el Mercado Común del Sur. Los estudios sobre este tema e intercambios comerciales son recurrentes en integraciones con estructuras centrales y bloques de países en la periferia que fomentan asimetrías regionales. Consecuente con esto, el objetivo de este estudio es analizar estructuralmente la centralidad del intercambio económico comercial de ambos bloques y de una eventual integración. El método de investigación implicó calcular métricas de centralidad fundamentadas en la teoría de redes. A partir de lo anterior, se concluye que los bloques tienen una estructura estratificada y que una eventual integración eficaz debe transitar hacia un regionalismo estratégico.
