Globalization and interregionalism: the track of China and Iran in Latin America

Date:

Place:
CIDOB Foundation, C/ Elisabets, 24. 08001 Barcelona

The recent approaches being made by Asian powers ─ and especially by China ─ to Latin America has opened up a debate on how these countries’ foreign policies could alter the regional balance in America, and even contribute to the transformation of the international system toward one of multipolarism. At the same time, this phenomenon raises questions as to the persistence of new forms of colonialism, with the Asian powers now having to meet their responsibilities within the framework of international relations. This debate workshop, which has been conceived as an exchange of ideas on the subjects presented, will specifically deal with two aspects of relations between Latin America and Asia: firstly, the American agenda in China’s foreign policy and secondly, the interregional alliances that could be developing between Iran and a number of Latin American countries, including Venezuela, Cuba, Bolivia, Nicaragua and Ecuador, and which are united by the fact that they all have a tense relationship with the United States.
