The Pacific in Chile’s Foreign Policy: A Tool to Reinforce Open Regionalism
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The reconfiguration of power hierarchies has transformed the Pacific Rim, mainly China, into one of the most‐dynamic and fastest‐growing regions. In line and consistent with its international‐insertion strategy based on open regionalism, Chile has developed commercial links with Pacific countries, including the United States, China, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Canada, and Vietnam. It also participates fully in the Pacific Alliance—a regional cooperation mechanism that includes Colombia, Mexico, and Peru, and whose objective is to promote the development of its members while expanding and consolidating ties to the Pacific. In this article, I analyze the meaning of “The Pacific” from a historical perspective, and of the Pacific Alliance, focusing on Chile’s foreign policy. I argue that “The Pacific” is a strategic construct created to strengthen the opening, diversification, and economic liberalization of the country. In the commercial sphere, it becomes a soft‐balancing mechanism in response to protectionist ideas. In this argumentative line, and in the face of an uncertain commercial scenario, the Pacific Alliance is also a useful platform to defend the idea that free trade strengthens collective economic security.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
