Global value chains and their challenge to the sustainability of exhaustible resources in the Pacific Alliance
In this paper we identify which global value chains made intensive use of minerals between 2005 and 2015. Input-output analysis instruments, complemented with network theory algorithms are used for this purpose. We also describe, under the weak and strong sustainability approach, the mechanisms of resource rent capture and distribution used in the Pacific Alliance countries, as well as the creation of environmental laws, which the Governments have been forced to implement given the extractive boom of the 90s and the first decade of this century.

In: https://eprints.ucm.es/id/eprint/37566/1/marquina%20the%20Japan.pdf

It also explains the new strategy that President Obama´s Administration is trying to implement, initially called "Pivot to Asia" and later "Rebalance". The article tries to show the challenges that this new strategy implies for both Japan and the United States, enumerating different scenarios some of them not very likely and highlighting on the contrary the possibility of a more assertive and military independent Japan.

Trans Pacific Partnership y globalización, ¿Quién tendría ganancias en eficiencia técnica?
El Trans-Pacific-Partnership, se perfila como un mega-acuerdo por el potencial impacto sobre el pib regional y mundial. Sus análisis consideran desde asuntos de democracia y soberanía, hasta temas de propiedad intelectual, alcance jurídico y nacional; sin embargo, es nulo sobre la eficiencia técnica de las economías involucradas. Por ello, el objetivo de esta investigación es identificar los países que obtendrían mejores posiciones en su eficiencia. Para ello, se hace uso de la econometría de análisis de fronteras estocásticas. Los hallazgos identifican que los países de ingreso alto obtendrían menos ganancias en eficiencia respecto a los de ingreso medio.

Constructing a Vocational and Educational Training System in Peru Drawing from Successful Cases in the Asia-Pacific region
In: http://hdl.handle.net/10063/8301
Peru currently has a fragmented and incomplete approach to Vocational and Educational Training (VET). This presents a problem for the country's growing demand for skilled human capital, especially the skills requirements needed to foster Small and Medium Enterprises' (SMEs) productivity. In a context where trends such as globalization, competitiveness, and scientific and technological advances are setting big challenges to developing countries, it might be relevant that Peru gazes on best practices of those countries that have implemented recent reforms in their VET systems. This research uses a systematic approach to review the international literature on the design of VET policies and systems to discover the aspects which could be of use to Peru's next steps in the development of its VET system. It drew on the most relevant VET systems across Asia-Pacific countries, such as New Zealand, Australia, and Canada, to identify trends and define criteria to analyse the current VET system. Policy transfer frameworks are used to draw from these systems those characteristics most needed. Some of the most important policies that the Peruvian VET system might consider are to reduce the fragmentation of current VET system by bringing all the targeted programs that the Peruvian government is carrying out at present into a more integrated whole of government approach, the reform of formal provision of technical education at secondary and tertiary level that stress the transferability of degrees across the Asia-Pacific region, and the creation of a training system according to requirements of the labour market and socio-cultural characteristics of students.

Chile facing the Global Warming: discussing a territorial annexation of some flood-prone countries in the Western Pacific
Since humanity is facing a Global Warming where some of its effects will be both the rise of ocean levels and the increase aggressiveness of storm surges, many States located in low-lying islands are at risk of losing part of its surface and even disappear. Indeed, many of these small countries are not only characterized by its low altitude, but also by its low GDP per capita, a condition that makes them even more vulnerable to sea rise and violence triggered by climate change that approach. In such a scenario certainly likely at the end of this century, Chile can now take a global prominence thanks to its oceanic conditions and its integration into the international community, both qualities that this country often declares. Indeed, Chile can propose an annexation to the governments of the Pacific Small Island Developing States (SIDS); making that population and territories are Chileans and avoid future and pejorative immigration status or environmental refugees. These news Chileans could settle in regions as Aysén, promoting their development; while on the other side in what remains of the abandoned islands, Chile can materialize science centers, facilities for the exploitation of natural resources and military bases; thus achieving an effective screening throughout the Pacific. To develop this ambitious project, it must overcome several obstacles, including producing evasive and disruptive technology for the dangerous islands.

Asia-Pacific: towards a new strategic balance? ; Asia-Pacífico: ¿hacia un nuevo balance estratégico?
Asia-Pacific is one of the world's arenas of major international competition and collaboration in the post-Cold War era. Over the past century and a half, the region has experienced recurrent great power rivalries, military intervention, colonialism, revolutions, and interstate as well as civil conflict. In recent decades, however, rapid and sustained economic growth has enabled the region to achieve unparalleled well-being, while enhancing the military power of numerous states. As the next century approaches, the crucial question is whether states in the Asia-Pacific will be able to create a political and security structure commensurate with their economic success. The absence of serious regional military crisis since the Sino-Vietnamese border war of 1979, and the emergence of region-wide economic institutions suggest such a prospect. However, the signs of stability may be misleading. Beneath a veneer of shared interests loom deeper differences and potential conflicts. Within this context, the continued military preference of the United States could tum into a geopolitical balancing factor for the stability of the entire region. ; Asia-Pacífico es una de las regiones de mayor competencia y colaboración en la actual era de posguerra fría. En el último siglo y medio, la región ha experimentado recurrentemente la rivalidad de las superpotencias, intervenciones militares, colonialismo, revoluciones, conflictos entre Estados y guerras civiles. Sin embargo, en décadas recientes, el crecimiento económico acelerado y sostenido ha permitido una notable mejora en el nivel de bienestar y el incremento del poderío militar de numerosos países. Al acercarnos al próximo siglo, la cuestión central es si Asia-Pacífico será capaz de crear una estructura política y de seguridad a la altura de su prosperidad económica. La ausencia de crisis militares graves desde la guerra fronteriza chino-vietnamita de 1979 y el surgimiento de instituciones económicas regionales, sugieren prospectos de éxito. Sin embargo, los signos de estabilidad podrían resultar ser engañosos. Profundas diferencias y potenciales conflictos se vislumbran tras aparentes intereses comunes. En este contexto, la continuidad de la presencia militar de Estados Unidos podría convertirse en un factor de balance geopolítico y estabilidad para la región.
