AB  - This paper discusses challenges and opportunities for the Valle del Cauca department
and the Colombian Pacific Region with regards to its incidence in the Asia–Pacific basin.
The aim of the author is three-fold: firstly, to briefly analyze the trade and economic context
of the interactions between Asia- Pacific region and Latin America, placing a special
emphasis on Colombia and the other three countries members of the Pacific Alliance;
second, to explain the opportunities and the challenges that the Valle del Cauca department
and the Colombian Pacific Region face following the formation of the Pacific Alliance
trading block; and third, to inquire into the topics of productivity and competitiveness
in the Valle del Cauca department and its business environment. The author argues
that, when compared to the other members of the Pacific Alliance countries, Colombia
is far behind in its process of integration with the Asia Pacific basin and calls for the
need of applying more widely a subnational approach in order to better understand the
dynamics of the interactions between Latin American regions and the Asia-Pacific.
