Sumario:The changes experienced in recent years by the Latin American-Caribbean region, after the “lost decade”, and the failure of neoliberalism expressed in the Washington Consensus, are also reflected in international politics. Thus, under the impulse of a variety of left-wing governments, that managed to come to power thanks to grassroots struggles, Latin America and the Caribbean face what could be called a surge in integration that is disrupting the geopolitical map of the continent and, by extension, the international system as a whole. The most symbolic expression of these new times is the creation of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) which, due to its political and strategic importance, has quickly been confronted with antagonistic projects, such as the Pacific Alliance. In this article, we will give a brief overview of both initiatives in order to identify the differences, allowing us to discuss two distinct geopolitical agendas for the continent that, in turn, are connected with old struggles between bolivarianism and Pan-Americanism.
