Abstract: The Andean region is integrated by four Latin American countries: Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru unified in the regional association Andean Pact, signed in 1969, which was redefined as the Andean Community of Nations (can, for its acronym in Spanish) in 1996. Through more than 45 years of existence the main causes of the economic performance of the Andean region need to be understood: an intraregional trade that does not show the expected takeoff, and trade with countries outside the regional perimeter, deeply dominated by raw materials, despite recurrent attempts to establish regional industrial development programs. This article studies the case of the economic and political relations of the member countries of the can with relevant hemispheric actors, especially the United States. This article states that the configuration of the main export markets determines the productive structures of the Andean economies to the detriment of a process of deep regional economic integration.
