Abstract: El continente americano se organiza básicamente en torno a cuatro grandes bloques económicos regionales: el Tratado de Libre comercio de América del Norte, La Alianza del Pacífico, el Mercado Común del Sur y la Comunidad Andina. Su papel es hoy fundamental para encauzar la cooperación regional e impulsar el desarrollo de un territorio que presenta grandes contrastes socioeconómicos entre las comunidades anglosajonas y francófonas del Norte y los espacios latinoamericanos del Sur, donde las iniciativas de integración fragmentadas y los profundos desajustes productivos locales, unido a los recelos y la preponderancia de los intereses comerciales de Estados Unidos, dificultan un proyecto único de unidad económica a escala continental. En ese contexto se analizan las potencialidades de las organizaciones supranacionales más significativas y sus implicaciones geopolíticas.

The American continent is basically organized around four major regional economic blocs: North American Free Trade Agreement, Pacific Alliance, the Southern Common Market and the Andean Community. Their role is crucial today to channel regional cooperation and promote the development of a territory that has great socio-economic contrasts between Anglo and Francophone communities in the North and Latin American areas of the South, where the integration of fragmented initiatives and deep local production disruptions, attached to the suspicions and the preponderance of U.S. commercial interests, difficult project a single economic unit on a continental scale. In this context the potential of significant supranational organizations and their geopolitical implications are discussed
