China: opportunities and challenges for latin america
(2012) Rubiolo, Maria Florencia; Baroni, Paola Andrea
The present international economic context is characterized by an increasing interdependence of economies and finances and by a high degree of trade competition. The arrival of emergent economies, such as China, has generated an important impact on the economies of Latin American. The size of China´s economy allows us to think about the participation of all Latin American countries, a phenomenon reflected in the increase of trade flows between both regions. The objective of this paper is to analyze Chinese policies towards the region and link them with the role of Latin America in the international economic system and the possibilities of reformulating its participation given the fading influence of traditional actors in the region, such as the United States and the European Union. We will take into account the challenges and opportunities that the involvement of this emergent economy can generate in the region.
Emerging economic actors in the South American economic scenario: China - Southeast Asia and Argentina since 2007.2
(2013) Rubiolo, Maria Florencia
Our aim in this paper is to analyze China’s and Southeast Asia presence in South America, and Argentina in particular. South America and China relations have shown a high level of trade complementarities. This phenomenon has occurred in parallel to a growing separation from the United States. China appeared as an alternative of international insertion for South America, mainly through the diversification of export destinies. But after a long decade, China’s approach to the South American region is reproducing asymmetrical bilateral relations, based on trade disparities rebuilding a centre-periphery scheme. In the case of Argentina, the links with SEA have unexplored potentialities for a more diversified international insertion that can be developed along with a South- South cooperation strategy, as a mean to reduce dependence from major trade partners. As we also argue in the article, this partner’s diversification has not been accompanied by a product diversification, instead we observe a higher degree of export concentration in the Argentinean side, reinforcing the agricultural-export model.
