Download or read book Transnational Frontiers of Asia and Latin America since 1800 written by Jaime Moreno Tejada and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-08-19 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frontiers are "wild." The frontier is a zone of interaction between distinct polities, peoples, languages, ecosystems and economies, but how do these frontier spaces develop? If the frontier is shaped by the policing of borders by the modern-nation state, then what kind of zones, regions or cultural areas are created around borders? This book provides 16 different case studies of frontiers in Asia and Latin America by interdisciplinary scholars, charting the first steps toward a transnational and transcontinental history of social development in the borderlands of two continents. Transnationalism provides a shared focus for the contributions, drawing upon diverse theoretical perspectives to examine the place-making projects of nation states. Through the lenses of different scales and time frames, the contributors examine the social processes of frontier life, and how the frontiers have been created through the exertions of nation-states to control marginal or borderland peoples. The most significant cases of industrialization, resource extraction and colonization projects in Asia and Latin America are examined in this book reveal the incompleteness of frontiers as modernist spatial projects, but also their creativity - as sources of new social patterns, new human adaptations, and new cultural outlooks and ways of confronting power and privilege. The incompleteness of frontiers does not detract from their power to move ideas, peoples and practices across borders both territorial and conceptual. In bringing together Asian and Latin American cases of frontier-making, this book points toward a comparativist and cosmopolitan approach in the study of statecraft and modernity. For scholars of Latin America and/or Asia, it brings together historical themes and geographic foci, providing studies accessible to researchers in anthropology, geography, history, politics, cultural studies and other fields of the human sciences.

This book was released on 2020-08-31 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global geopolitics has shifted dramatically over the last thirty years. After the vanishing expectations of a unipolar international system led by the United States, China has gained an increasingly dominant role in areas as innovative as quantum computing, robotics and artificial intelligence. In the non-digital dimension, the eastern superpower has made gigantic investments in its Belt and Road Initiative, which include the development of a massive network of highways, industrial centers, harbors, pipelines and bridges, among many other works of infrastructure. These investments allow for the connection of more than 60 countries worldwide, guaranteeing China s energetic security, easier conditions for trading goods and services and, perhaps more importantly, a significant influence in the political and economic events of the world. States with political regimes as diverse as those of Russia and India are part of this growing network; in various cases, in exchange for the benefits associated wi th being part of it, major concessions were made. By way of illustration, Sri Lanka and Pakistan, among others, given their lack of capacity to pay for sorne of the works, have agreed to forfeit control of specific areas of their territories.

Download or read book International Competitiveness in Latin America and East Asia written by Klaus Esser and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-10-12 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1993. Latin America is undergoing a process of profound economic and social change. The industrial import substitution that continued for several decades was quantitatively successful in terms of industrialization but - like inward-oriented industrialization in the socialist countries - failed to raise the economies of the region to international productivity levels. The attempt at catch-up industrialization outside the reference frame of the world market led to economic stagnation, social crises, serious environmental degradation and the obstruction of social development. The following papers included in this book, show that the development of competitive advantages is initially determined by the new macro policy and by modernization at enterprise level.

Download or read book External Powers in Latin America written by Gian Luca Gardini and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-04-21 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the role of external powers in Latin America in the 21st century. Non-traditional partners have significantly increased their political and economic engagement with the continent. Five key questions arise: why has this surge taken place; when has it happened; in which regions and sectors is it mostly felt; what is the Latin American perspective; and what are the actual results? The book analyses 16 case studies: the United States, the European Union, China, Russia, Japan, Canada, India, Turkey, Iran, Israel, South Korea, Taiwan, Indonesia, the ASEAN countries, South Africa and Australia. The spectrum of existing explanations in the literature spans from neo-extractivism to South-South cooperation. This volume places them in context and proposes a more multifaceted approach, stressing a combination of systemic factors and internal dynamics both in Latin America and in the external partner countries. Geopolitics still matters and so do nation states, their interests and leaders. Ultimately, this surge in engagement has largely reproduced past patterns. Are new partners that different from the old ones?

This book was released on 2020-08-04 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Download or read book Trade and Investment Promotion Between Asia Pacific and Latin America written by Mikio Kuwayama and published by CEPAL/ECLAC. This book was released on 2000 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document provides an overview of trade relations between Asia and the Pacific and Latin America and explores the possibilities for expanding the trade relations between the two regions. The analysis covers 12 regions in Asia and Oceania and 11 members of the Latin American Integration Association (LAIA). Present economic relations do not reflect the potential for interregional trade and investment. The Governments of both regions have increasingly recognised the need to institutionalise the mechanism of consultation and to possibly implement joint actions in order to strengthen bi-regional economic relations. This document analyses the present level of, and future potential for interregional trade and investment flows and makes recommendations in five areas: mechanisms for consultation on issues related to trade and investment; information creation and exchange; guidelines for trade facilitation action plan and investment promotion action plan; business community participation and, economic and technical co-operation.
