Abstract

Spanish Abstract:El ascenso político de China y su acercamiento hacia América Latina ha coincidido con un alejamiento de la región de Estados Unidos. A pesar de que en ciertos círculos académicos se ha explicado este fenómeno como una consecuencia de la política exterior china, en este artículo se demuestra que América Latina ha formulado su política exterior independientemente, y que el alejamiento de Estados Unidos no necesariamente significa un alineamiento con los intereses de China.

English Abstract: China’s international political success and its growing ties with Latin America have coincided with the deterioration of the relations between Unites States and Latin America. Even if this fact has been explained by some authors as a consequence of China’s foreign policy, we show that Latin America’s foreign policy has been formulated independently, and that the bad moment in the relations between United States and Latin America cannot be translated as an alignment with China’s interests.
