Chile and Mercosur: One Strategic Perspective
Abstract
This research project express concern about Political-Strategy effects related to The "Chilean Economic Cooperation Agreement", signed with Mercosur. There are many changes that are ongoing within the Chilean economy during the last two-decade. Probably this is one of the most important that occurred related with the regional integration process that some of the South America's countries carrying out in order to create conditions to build a big free trade area. Chile has been proactive to open its economy unilaterally and now is looking for creating the best conditions to participate in some important economic blocks, as a NAFTA, MERCOSUR, the Asian-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) and the European Union. The possibility of implementation of some of these processes has caught the attention of individuals on the national scene; a strong political and economic debate has started in seminars, lectures, specialized publications, etc. Most discussions have faced inherent problems almost exclusively from an economic point of view. This project will address some of the issues and concerns of the political analysis which could identify the interrelation of effects of the above on the nation as a whole. In particularly, those related with the political-strategic effects.
