Competitive Integration Models in the Western Hemisphere: Competitive Leadership or Mutual Denial?

Abstract:
The North Atlantic space is undergoing active reconfiguration. In the Western Hemisphere this trend is marked by the presence of three distinct models of integration: intra-regional blocks such as Mercosur and the Andean Community; the FTAA and mega-regional agreements with the EU; and bilateral PTAs that have sprung up with greater impetus since the FTAA failure. The demise of the FTAA opened up the way for a dual track approach to trade integration in the hemisphere: on one hand, with Brazil increasingly seeking to institutionalise the South American subsystem, and on the other, the US resorting to bilateral agreements with like-minded countries in that same regional subsystem. The active rivalry between these two countries through preferential agreements is a major factor affecting the regional re-distribution of power.

Resumen:
El espacio noratlántico está experimentando una reconfiguración activa. En el hemisferio occidental, esta tendencia está marcada por la presencia de tres modelos distintos de integración: bloques intrarregionales como el Mercosur y la Comunidad Andina; el Área de Libre Comercio de las Américas (ALCA) y los acuerdos mega-regionales con la UE; así como acuerdos preferenciales de comercio bilaterales que han surgido con más fuerza desde el fracaso del ALCA. La desaparición del ALCA abrió el camino a una doble vía de integración comercial en el hemisferio: por un lado, Brasil trata cada vez más de institucionalizar el subsistema de América del Sur, y, por el otro, Estados Unidos recurre a acuerdos bilaterales con los países de ideas afines en este subsistema regional. La activa rivalidad entre estos dos estados a través de acuerdos preferenciales es un factor importante que afecta a la redistribución regional del poder.
