| description | The objective of this article is to explore the implications that the global strategic competition between the United States and China can have –and is already having– in Latin America and the Caribbean, a region that is in the middle of this great power competition, for economic, trade, political-diplomatic or technological reasons. From an integrative, transdisciplinary and strategic approach, the ramifications of the rivalry between the United States and China in the Western Hemisphere are analyzed. The methodology is based on case studies that make visible the implications of this phenomenon while contributing to the construction of generalizable knowledge and the identification of patterns in Latin America and the Caribbean. It is concluded that the global strategic competition between Washington and Beijing is feeding, voluntarily or involuntarily, pre-existing dynamics of political instability, social conflict and armed violence in Latin American countries.

El objetivo del presente artículo es explorar las implicaciones que la competencia estratégica global entre Estados Unidos y China puede tener –y ya está teniendo– en América Latina y el Caribe, región que, por razones económico-comerciales, político-diplomáticas y tecnológicas se encuentra en medio de un gran pulso por el poder global. Desde un enfoque integrador, transdisciplinario y estratégico, se analizan las ramificaciones de la rivalidad entre Estados Unidos y China en el hemisferio occidental. Se presentan casos de estudio que permiten visibilizar las implicaciones de dicho fenómeno, lo que abona a la producción de conocimiento generalizable y a la identificación de patrones en la región de América Latina y el Caribe. Se concluye que la competencia estratégica global entre Washington y Beijing está alimentando, voluntaria o involuntariamente, dinámicas preexistentes de inestabilidad política, conflictividad social y violencia armada en países de América Latina y el Caribe. Os riscos de uma escalada militar na competição estratégica entre Estados Unidos e China têm sido frequentemente alertados, em decorrência da luta entre os dois países pela hegemonia mundial. No entanto, pouco foi explorado sobre as implicações que essa grande luta pelo poder global pode ter – e já está tendo – em regiões inteiras do Sul Global, como é o caso específico da América Latina e Caribe, que por motivos econômicos-comerciais, político-diplomáticos ou tecnológicos estão no meio desta competição estratégica. Seguindo uma agenda de pesquisa anterior, o objetivo deste artigo é explorar as ramificações da rivalidade entre Estados Unidos e China no Hemisfério Ocidental a partir de uma abordagem integrativa e transdisciplinar, por meio de estudos de caso específicos que tornem esse fenômeno visível. O argumento central deste artigo é que, sem ser a única explicação envolvida, a competição entre Washington e Pequim está alimentando, de uma forma ou de outra, voluntária ou involuntariamente, dinâmicas pré-existentes de instabilidade política, conflito social e violência armada nos países das Américas Latina e Caribe.
