El rol de Brasil en América del Sur: “El concepto de liderazgo y su debate teórico"

Aún cuando exista un amplio consenso dentro de la comunidad académica internacional respecto a la importancia de Brasil para con América del Sur, al mismo tiempo una multiplicidad de intelectuales han reinterpretado de diversas maneras el rol que juega dicho país en la región. En este sentido, desde este trabajo se buscará en primera instancia presentar un breve resumen en relación a las diferentes visiones que coexisten en referencia al tema, para luego dar paso a un debate teórico focalizado en el concepto de liderazgo y sus implicancias en relación al papel que detenta Brasil en Sudamérica.Instituto de Relaciones Internacionales (IRI

A Comparative Analysis of Brazil's Foreign Policy Drivers Towards the USA: Comment on Amorim Neto (2011)

This paper looks at the main finding by Amorim Neto (2011), namely that Brazil's power explains why it distanced itself from the country that had once been its great ally in the first half of the last century. We propose an alternative explanation grounded on the realist literature in IR. Ultimately, we seek to determine whether the variable has behaved in the same way for other South American countries, searching for independent variables that could help us explain a visible pattern in the region: the increasing distancing from the United States (USA) at the United Nations General Assembly. We want to contribute to the debate initiated by Amorim Neto (2011) and Schenoni (2012) for future research in the recent field of quantitative analysis of Brazilian Foreign Policy. Using Panel Corrected Standard Error analysis in ten South American countries from 1970 to 2007 we empirically prove that the lower the power gap between a South American country and the U.S., the lower its alignment with the USA in the UN General Assembly voting

Chinese Economic Statecraft and U.S. Hegemony in Latin America: An Empirical Analysis, 2003–2014

If one interprets China's sizable rise in Latin America as an unprecedented phenomenon, it follows that the concurrent story of declining U.S. influence in the region is an event hastily acknowledged at best and ignored at worst. In this article, we ask whether Chinese economic statecraft in Latin America is related to the declining U.S. hegemonic influence in the region and explore how. To do so we analyze foreign direct investments, bank loans, and international trade from 2003 to 2014, when China became a major player in the region. We use data from 21 Latin American countries, and find that an inversely proportional relationship exists between the investments made by Chinese state-owned enterprises (SOEs), bank loans, manufacturing exports, and the U.S. hegemonic influence exerted in the region. In other words, Beijing has filled the void left by a diminished U.S. presence in the latter's own backyard

Aspectos geoéticos en la docencia del ordenamiento y la gestión del territorio

The Geoethic is the discipline that comes from challenges and ethical approach subjects and professionals research involved in the Earth Sciences and Planetary together. Since its emergence in the late last century to the present, has undergone a major notoriety recognized by AGID (Association of Geoscientists for International Development), IUGS (International Union of Geological Sciences) and other international organizations in line with technological advances and geographic information increasingly interrelated with the abiotic world.This article discusses problems and challenges geoethic in a teaching context for organization and management of the territory. It presents various aspects of codes of conduct and good work that have emerged or have had to address the faculty of the Master developed jointly by the National Autonomous University of Honduras (UNAH) and the University of Alcalá (UAH) in successive editions. Finally, an approximation from the different areas of knowledge conceptual treatment, professional and research in a field geoethic Central, with the end result involves providing answers to new global challenges.Revista Ciencias Espaciales, Volumen 8, Número 1 Primavera, 2015; 110-125La Geoética es la disciplina que interpela y trata desde un enfoque ético las materias profesionales y de investigación involucradas en las Ciencias de la Tierra y Planetarias en su conjunto. Desde su irrupción a finales del pasado siglo hasta la actualidad, ha experimentado una importante notoriedad reconocida por la AGID (Association of Geoscientists for International Development), IUGS (International Union of Geological Sciences) y otras organizaciones internacionales en consonancia con los avances tecnológicos, de la información geográfica y geocientíficos en general cada vez más interrelacionados con el mundo abiótico.En el presente artículo se analizan problemáticas y retos geoéticos en un contexto docente del ordenamiento y gestión del territorio. Se exponen diversos aspectos relacionados con códigos de conducta y buen hacer que han aflorado o ha tenido que abordar el profesorado de la Maestría desarrollada conjuntamente por la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Honduras (UNAH) y la Universidad de Alcalá (UAH) en sus sucesivas ediciones. Finalmente se realiza una aproximación desde las distintas áreas de conocimiento al tratamiento conceptual, profesional y de investigación de la Geoética en un ámbito centroamericano, cuyo resultado último implique aportar respuestas ante nuevos retos globales.Revista Ciencias Espaciales, Volumen 8, Número 1 Primavera, 2015; 110-125
