Item Open Access Adhesión de Ecuador al acuerdo marco de la alianza del Pacífico: una perspectiva desde la teoría de seguridad de Copenhague(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador Sede Ibarra, 2019-01) Gómez Calderón, José MiguelThe geostrategic criterion of the Pacific basin determines the importance of the existence of integration mechanisms such as the Pacific Alliance, of which Ecuador in 2018 shows its interest to be an associate state. In this context, the present study analyses the possible adherence of Ecuador to the Pacific Alliance and its implications in the political, economic, and commercial situations. As theoretical perspectives are taken contributions from Regional Integration theories, which, although they come from political science, are applied to the International Relations; particularly Copenhagen School's theory of security, and the studies of one of its members, Barry Buzan, since they adapt to the new reality of South America and specifically Ecuadorian understanding security from a multidimensional vision. The methodology used in the project is of descriptive type, of a mixed approach, and exploratory by the lack of research on the specific topic. Different research methods are used throughout the study, these are micro-historical, analytical, as well as an ad hoc methodological research table that gathers both qualitative and quantitative elements and it allowed to analyze the pronouncements of the Chancellery and the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Investments. In the same way, a second ad hoc research table was used in order to analyze interviews of public and private actors in the area involved. The results show that both sectors (public and private) agree on the necessity to improve the competitiveness of the Ecuadorian industry with public policies and free trade, so to deepen relations with the Pacific Alliance becoming an associate member is a strategic goal of the Ecuadorian government. In another way, although this research does not show that Ecuador's adherence to the commercial agreement is negative in the economic and commercial field, it would not be relevant.
