Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the current situation of the Latin American region in the context of hegemonic reconfiguration of world economy. The latter is expressed in the combination of tensions and questioning that undergoes the post-war interstate system, on which the hegemonic leadership of the United States of America (US) was built and consolidated. At the same time, the rise of China is seen as an actor that, even without renouncing the institutions of the mentioned system, develops and promotes new dynamics of interaction between countries that do not obey the principles of interstate consensus expressed in the United Nations Magna Carta (NN UU). Given such a scenario, Latin America (AL) is understood as a disputed territory where coexist, on the one hand, the interests of the US are seeking to maintain its role as an hegemonic center and, on the other, the expansion strategies of China in which there is an increasing prominence in LA started in this millennium.
