| Abstract | The Pacific Alliance (PA) has become a key in geographically diversifying Colombia's foreign policy agenda. It has allowed the Colombian state to achieve a higher level of international economic integration, increase its participation in regional governance institutions and in designing strategies for greater engagement with the Asia-Pacific. Also, it has allowed Colombia to seek support to enter institutions like APEC and enter into negotiations with mega-trade blocs, such as the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP). This paper aims to analyse Colombia's participation in the PA. It will highlight the global, regional, and domestic factors and actors that have propelled Colombia's move, as well as key objectives and obstacles pertaining to its participation. Then, it will discuss possible impacts on Colombia's relationship with the regional power, Brazil in particular, regional governance institutions, and extraregional powers, which could deepen or promote the PA. The paper concludes by proposing several possible scenarios for the growth of strategic importance of the PA in a changing hemispheric context. |
