CLACSO Working Group: China and the map of world power
This book, the first from the China Working Group and the World Power Map, presents and develops, through prominent authors, crucial topics that must be on the research agenda of Latin American and global social sciences. Among the topics analyzed are: the main structural trends in the reconfiguration of the current world system and the immense geopolitical and class conflicts they generate; the role of the pandemic in accelerating these trends; the US strategies for containing China, promoted by think tanks, intellectuals, and officials in the Trump and Biden administrations; Xi Jinping's civilizational project of a community of shared future; the place of market socialism in the struggles to redefine global power; and the vast opportunities opening up for Latin America with the renewal of the Bandung spirit and South-South cooperation. and the balance of relations between China and Latin America and the Caribbean through trade and investment flows, the trial of hybrid geoeconomy in South America, the insertion of Cuba and the Greater Caribbean into the new Silk Road, the China-CELAC Forum and the links between Brazil and China.
This is a promising and vigorous outcome of a collective debate and research agenda that is just beginning.
