Summary:This article analyzes the cohesion of the Pacific Alliance in terms of its consolidation as a regional player. From its creation with the signing of the Framework Agreement in 2012, the formative process starts from a passive object to an active subject according to the levels of regionality. The Pacific Alliance is considered as an embryonic project that seeks to respond to the challenges of globalization towards the common projection of its member-states and platform for their international insertion. However, its consolidation as a regional player in Latin America faces major challenges given the weaknesses and strengths in leadership, interdependence, convergence, identity and institutions as success factors for regional cohesion in order to pool member-states´ potentials for opportunities and against threats in the international system.
