| Abstract | Amid the unstable conjuncture prevailing in Latin America due to the coexistence of different political models, ideologically loaded, that offers various integration schemes, the burst of the Pacific Alliance deserves to be analyzed beyond the attraction it generates in political leaders and entrepreneurs of the world. The paper asks if the Pacific Alliance is really forming a new and pragmatic bloc in Latin America. To answer this question, the paper studies the Framework Agreement of the Pacific Alliance in the light of the economic and legal theories of integration. It passes through the bombastic challenges of the preamble, the glare of its objectives, the announced cooperative frameworks, and ends with its low institutional framework. The paper argues that the Pacific Alliance is a sum of free trade areas, being far from a transcendental, deep integration as it has insisted. |
