China y Estados Unidos frente a América latina

Abstract

Este artículo estudia las consecuencias, para América latina, del ascenso de China como la segunda (y pronto la primera) economía del mundo, y como un gran inversor en la región. También pasa revista a las percepciones de amenaza de la superpotencia en descenso, Estados Unidos, tanto debido a la penetración china en su ?patio trasero? como por su competencia económica y geopolítica más general. La conclusión principal es que el ascenso al estatus de superpotencia económica de un país cuya economía se complementa con la de algunos de los principales países sudamericanos, es una buena noticia para la región. El mayor riesgo es el de perder una buena oportunidad debido a incompetencia o corrupción. La experiencia demuestra que los países sudamericanos se pueden defender del peligro de desindustrialización representado por algunas políticas chinas. Respecto de las percepciones de amenaza de los Estados Unidos, el artículo llega a la conclusión de que no se justifican, ya que militarmente el sistema interestatal seguirá siendo unipolar. Por eso, por mucho tiempo, el crecimiento del poder chino no amenazará a países que no sean sus vecinos. La experiencia histórica demuestra que Estados Unidos es una amenaza de seguridad mayor, para América latina, que China.

This paper reviews the consequences, for Latin America, of the rise of China as the world’s second (and soon to be first) economy, and as the most important trading partner of the main South American economies, as well as a very major investor therein. It also documents perceptions of threat in the declining superpower, the United States, both because of China’s penetration of its “back yard,” and of wider economic and geopolitical competition. The main conclusion is that the rise to economic superpower status of a country whose economy complements those of major South American countries is good news for this region. The greatest risk lies in jeopardizing the opportunity due to incompetence or corruption. Experience shows that large South American countries can defend themselves from the risk of deindustrialization posed by Chinese policies. Regarding U.S. threat perceptions, the paper concludes that they are not warranted, especially inasmuch as, militarily, the interstate system will remain unipolar. Hence, for a long time to come, the growth of Chinese power will not threaten countries that are not its neighbors. Historical experience shows that the United States poses a greater security threat to Latin America than China.
