SUMMARY:FCCC Online Event: How China’s economic engagement ended US primacy in Latin America by Francisco Urdinez
DESCRIPTION:With the US administration’s desire to ensure the « Western Hemisphere » is politically on its side and recent military action to remove Nicolas Maduro\, Latin America is at the center of the rivalry between the United States and China. But Washington may find out Beijing already has displaced it in many aspects of the trade and economic relations with the region\, and gained political ground. Join us for a discussion with Francisco Urdinez\, who just published Economic Displacement – China and the End of US Primacy in Latin America. \nAbout the Speaker:  Francisco Urdinez is an Associate Professor at the Institute of Political Science of the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile\, where he also directs the Millennium Nucleus for the Impacts of China in Latin America (ICLAC) project on China’s impacts in Latin America. Through data analysis and case studies\, he demonstrates how China has filled the economic void left by US retrenchment from 2001 to 2020. He argues that this economic shift has led to a significant erosion of US political influence in the region\, affecting public opinion\, elite perspective\, and voting patterns in international organizations.
