Opinion: The Future of Trade Policy in Chile

El 18 de octubre de 2019 marcó un punto de inflexión en Chile. Los acontecimientos de ese y los días subsiguientes han dado inició un profundo proceso de reflexión respecto de las bases del modelo de desarrollo económico, político y social del país. Tras semanas de manifestaciones, el acuerdo por una nueva constitución alcanzado el 15 de noviembre parece abrir el inicio de una salida a las mismas, para dar paso a un proceso de diálogo sobre lo que el país quiere como marco de entendimiento para el futuro.

Si bien el acuerdo se basa en el debate sobre una nueva Constitución, propuesta que será votada en abril próximo, éste no debe frenar otras discusiones. Creemos la política comercial no debe quedar al margen. Por años se ha destacado a Chile por su inserción económica internacional y su nivel de apertura. Dicha política no ha estado exenta de polémicas, tanto en su formulación como en su implementación y en los resultados entregados. Hoy, que todo el marco político-económico está en debate, es bueno también reflexionar respecto de nuestra política comercial. Reconocer los aspectos positivos de la misma, conocer sus impactos negativos y costos asociados, y entender cómo la política comercial puede ser funcional a los nuevos modelos de desarrollo que devengan de esta discusión.

Es por esto que, el Latin American Journal of Trade Policy, como publicación académica del Instituto de Estudios Internacionales de la Universidad de Chile especializada en política comercial no puede restarse de esta discusión. Para esto, con el ánimo de contribuir a la discusión informada sobre este tema, hemos querido abrir un espacio para opiniones de expertos sobre los desafíos que enfrenta la formulación e implementación de la política comercial en Chile. Estas opiniones personales expresan distintos puntos de vista de académicos, negociadores, funcionarios, miembros de la sociedad civil, y púbico interesado en estos temas. Este espacio viene a complementar el trabajo académico de la revista al permitir el intercambio de visiones y antecedentes que permitan una mejor construcción de la política comercial chilena.

A partir de esta edición, y durante todo el 2020 se recogerán opiniones de distintos expertos las que esperamos contribuyan al debate informado sobre el desarrollo de la política comercial chilena, las lecciones que ésta ha dejado, así como las opciones de política comercial que puede adoptar Chile en el futuro, y como estas pueden dialogar con otras políticas como el desarrollo productivo o la reducción de las brechas de desigualdad.
