| description | This paper aims to analyze the reasons for the failure of LAFTA and, specifically, the causes of the reorganization that led to the formation of LAIA. In this sense, this article will not only appeal to an economic perspective, since it will inquire into political-social matters related to the character and purposes of regional integrations. The method used for this economic and historical analysis is based on a bibliographical review of economic integration mechanisms in Latin America. This will account for the course from LAFTA to LAIA in the light of the relative decline of the former in its last years. The results show that the main reasons for the failure of LAFTA can be explained by the diversity of readings that its own founding States made about the objective of the association, the lack of a consolidated political-economic program and the infeasibility of the negotiations within the framework of the common and national lists. The study of such a failure, in short, will allow us to give the concrete material and commercial consequences of the conclusion of a free trade between states with dissimilar economic development, analysis that is still relevant today. |

El objetivo del presente trabajo es analizar las razones del fracaso de la Asociación Latinoamericana de Libre Comercio (ALALC) y, en concreto, las causas de la reorganización para constituirse en la Asociación Latinoamericana de Integración (ALADI). Este artículo no solo tiene una perspectiva económica, pues también indaga en materias político-sociales relativas al carácter y los propósitos de las integraciones regionales. El método empleado para este análisis económico e histórico se basa en la revisión bibliográfica de los mecanismos de integración económica en Latinoamérica. Los resultados muestran que las principales razones del fracaso de ALALC pueden ser explicadas debido a la diversidad de lecturas que sus propios Estados fundadores hicieran en relación con el objetivo de la asociación, la falta de un programa político-económico consolidado por parte de estos y la inviabilidad de las negociaciones de tales Estados en el marco de las así llamadas listas comunes y nacionales. El estudio de tal fracaso, en definitiva, nos permitirá dar cuenta de las consecuencias materiales y comerciales concretas de la celebración de un libre comercio entre Estados con un desarrollo económico disímil, análisis cuya relevancia se conserva en la actualidad.
