LAMBARRY-VILCHIS, Fernando. Structural analysis of the economic network of exports and imports of the Pacific Alliance and the Southern Common Market. estud.gerenc. [online]. 2016, vol.32, n.141, pp.319-325. ISSN 0123-5923.  https://doi.org/10.1016/j.estger.2016.10.004.

Several integration treaties have occurred in the history of Latin America. The most recent between them is the Pacific Alliance, which represents an opportunity for regional unification by means of the Southern Common Market. Studies on this issue and trade about integrations with central structures and blocs of countries on the periphery which promotes regional asymmetries are recurrent. Consistent with this, the objective of this study is to analyze the structural centrality of commercial economic exchange of both blocks and an eventual integration. The research method involved calculating centrality metrics grounded in network theory. It is concluded that the blocks have a layered structure and final effective integration should move towards a strategic regionalism.
