Competencias de gobernanza regional: Alianza del Pacífico-Mercosur y Unasur-OEA - estrategias colombianas

This essay analyzes two competitions on regional governance: the competition between the Pacific Alliance (PA) and Mercosur, and the competition between UNASUR and the OEA - exploring Colombian strategies. While the PA, combined with the cross-regionalism of its members, seemed to prevail in the competition with Mercosur to provide the preferred model of regional economic governance, Unasur not only lost the competition with the OEA for exercising the mandate of the security management in South America, but came under the threat of extinction. The Unasur-OEA competition –between two nested organizations– was much more intensive than the PA-Mercosur competition, attenuated with convergence efforts. While the Unasur-OEA competition emanated from a quest for South American autonomy, based on the rise of Brazil (up to 2013), the PA-Mercosur competition included institutional contestation by Colombia at Brazil´s bid for regional leadership.
