Abstract

The integration of Asia-Pacific and Latin American countries to international markets during the First Globalisation (1870-1920) has been widely discussed in the literature. Dependence on the British market and the growing shift towards the US in the case of Latin America, or intra-Asian trade and the expansion of Japan as new regional power in the case of Asia-Pacific, have been prominent topics. Less attention has been paid to the failed integration among Latin American countries, in contrast to the numerous studies on Asian regional integration. Our aim is to identify the role of market potential in explaining the different trajectories of regional integration in Latin America and the Asia-Pacific. To this end, we analyse the cases of Japan, on the one hand, and Chile and Peru, on the other, on the basis of trade flows and their geographical composition.
