Chinese Investment in Latin America

Session Submission Type: Panel

Abstract

The papers presented here study China’s growing role in Latin America and the Caribbean, drawing on recent research on China’s role in Africa to better understand its behavior in Latin America and the Caribbean. They address prospects for an alternative international economic order, implications for U.S. geostrategic interests and regional relations, and how China’s growing economic leverage in regions where it trades and invests affects outcomes in foreign policy, security, and other areas of tension with the United States.
