The geopolitical rivalry between the United States and China. Case study: Latin America
Abstract
The existing conflict between the United States and China has been taken as a model of international relations in recent years, shaping strategic debates and real political, military and economic dynamics, a situation that increasingly becomes the lens through which other actors view and predict important events in global geopolitics. China's economic opening led to a change in the dynamics of international trade and sowed its trading partners with uncertainty about the advantages and disadvantages it generates in terms of disruptions to trade, which is one of the reasons why the United States labeled China as a strategic competitor, moving Sino-US relations from cooperation to confrontation. In Latin America, the United States and China are considered the most prominent external economic actors in the region, due to overlapping geopolitical interests and objectives, which revolve around aspects of great power competition, such as countering the influence of their rivals and project power in the area and, especially, varied economic interests. This bibliographic study was prepared with the objective of analyzing the geopolitical rivalry between the United States and China, from a perspective of the impact it generates in Latin America, causes, consequences and possible future scenarios for the region.
