Download or read book China Latin America and the Caribbean written by Thierry Kellner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-05-03 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book assesses the political, economic and geopolitical dynamics that China’s presence has initiated throughout Latin America and the Caribbean between 2008 and 2020. Written by experts across three continents, contributions to this edited volume explore the bilateral relations that China has developed with almost all Latin American and Caribbean countries, charting both the benefits they have brought and the problems that these relations have created for local actors. The book analyses the emergence of new forms of "dependence", considers issues such as the existence of a deindustrialization phenomenon throughout Latin America and ultimately questions whether China and the United States are engaged in a zero-sum game in the region. It also investigates challenges that the densification of the web of China’s relations and exchanges with Latin America and the Caribbean countries pose; not only to the United States and European countries, as traditional partners of these states, but also to Latin American regionalism. Including an extensive set of case studies and local, regional and global-level analysis, China-Latin America and the Caribbean provides an empirically rich resource for students and scholars of Chinese foreign and economic policy, Latin America, the Caribbean and wider geopolitics.

Book excerpt: El fenómeno de los corredores económicos en la última década, cuya expresión más popular es la estrategia de la Franja y la Ruta propuesta por China en el 2014, ha desatado fuerzas competitivas y de interdependencia global que, soportadas en mega-proyectos de infraestructura de todo tipo (viales, férreos , energéticas, digitales, satelitales, ETC), han transformado no solo la manera como interactúa el hombre contemporáneo sino también el significado de conceptos propios de la geopolítica clásica, como soberanía territorial, la seguridad nacional, encaminando a los gobiernos a definir, con pleno discernimiento, los lineamientos de política exterior, en un mundo que además de se multipolar e interconectado, se explica en medio de la incertidumbre. Los grandes proyectos de infraestructura que han permitido conectar al oeste de China con los países de Asia Central hasta llegar a Europa, las rutas que unen el sudeste asiático para facilitar la movilidad entre islas y el territorio continental, los corredores viales y fluviales que conectarán internamente a la India con sus vecinos o aquellos que permiten unir al centro con el norte de África, además de solventar falencias logísticas de infraestructura básica de países pobres y de menor desarrollo, han alimentado grandes debates sobre su facilidad y conveniencia, pero también sobre las alternativas que los países de Asia (China, Japón, India, Corea del Sur, Turquía) brindan a las naciones para cumplir sus metas de desarrollo y conectividad. Precisamente de esos debates se ocupan los artículos de esta publicación, elaborados por 13 expertos de las ciencias sociales, que desde sus geografías analizan la experiencia a hacer parte de losas rutas que hasta días antes de la declaratoria de la pandemia se construían sin pausa en sus territorios. El objetivo es hacer síntesis de las experiencias para ofrecer referentes a América Latina. Esta publicación llega justamente cuando el fenómeno del Covid marca puntos de inflexión sobre las tendencias del desarrollo y la integración. Muchos corredores seguirán su marcha, se han tornado decisivos e insustituibles, como los tendidos de cables submarinos por los que se transmiten los datos de la telefonía móvil y el Internet, redes que permiten la comunicación basada en la virtualidad, sector que cobra gran protagonismo deben el marco del distanciamiento , aislamiento, confinamiento colectivo y del tele trabajo. Otros mega proyectos de implicanacia geopolítica serán puestos prueba. Este trabajo es un aporte al entendimiento conceptual y un análisis sistemático del fenómeno de los corredores y de sus incidencia en la geopolítica. A la vez, es una plataforma para adelantar el debate sobre los nuevos rumbos de la conectividad física y digital en un escenario que al menos, por ahora, tiene en pausa la aspiración de un mundo libre de barreras y fronteras.

This book was released on 2024-03-29 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive, conceptual and analytical framework for understanding the reordering process in the Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) region, driven and shaped by China–US rivalry. It demonstrates the differences between China–US, China–LAC and US–LAC relations and questions to what extent the LAC region can be considered a unified actor. Exploring broad perspectives such as global governance, international institutions, trade, security policy, climate change, multilateralism and regional and global peace and stability, the contributors also consider China’s Belt and Road Initiative, the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) and “minilateral” cooperation, sustainable development and business and the role of soft power, such as tourism and education in China–LAC relations. This timely and important contribution analyzing the changing regional order in the LAC region brought about by China’s global rise and increasing hegemonic competition with the US will appeal to scholars and student of international relations, international political economy, and security studies.

Download or read book China and Latin America in Transition written by Shoujun Cui and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-27 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores the policy dynamics, economic commitments and social impacts of the fast evolving Sino-LAC relations. China’s engagement with Latin America and the Caribbean has entered into an era of strategic transition. While China is committed to strengthening its economic and political ties with Latin America and the Caribbean, Latin America as a bloc is enthusiastically echoing China’s endeavor by diverting their focus toward the other side of the ocean. The transitional aspect of China-LAC ties is phenomenal, and is manifested not only in the accelerating momentum of trade, investment, and loan but also in the China-CELAC Forum mechanism that maps out an institutional framework for decades beyond. While Latin America is redefined as an emerging priority to the leadership in Beijing, what are the responses from Latin America and the United States? In this sense, experts from four continents provide local answers to this global question.
