China and the map of world power

The role of China and the Asia Pacific region in the global arena reflects a critical shift in the world power map and constitutes one of the features of the current historical transition of the world system, which manifests itself on the one hand as a structural capitalist crisis and, on the other hand, as a crisis of the world geopolitical order.

The breakdown of the hegemonic cycle led by the United States and the rise of China has multiple implications for Latin America and the Caribbean, since moments of crisis in the world order generate new tactical and strategic margins for the deployment of processes of insubordination in the peripheries of capitalism, opening up spaces to break, modify or weaken relations of dependency and undertake more autonomous development projects.

Faced with this scenario, the research proposal of CLACSO Working Group: China and the map of world power Questions have been raised that stimulate critical thinking: Is there a trend toward heightened global tensions and power struggles? What characterizes these tensions and struggles? What does China's rise on the world map signify? Does it represent an emerging imperialist power and the next arena for accumulation in historical capitalism, or is it something else entirely? What role does Latin America play in this transition, what scenarios does it face, and what are its strategic options?
