China’s Cooperation and Its Role in Shaping a New Center of Power in a Multipolar Scenario

Abstract

This essay addresses the current dynamics of South-South cooperation, within the framework of the collaboration that China has been promoting in the search for a balance of power that gives a preponderant role to the Global South. In particular, this cooperation focuses on the regions of Latin America and Africa, historically dominated by North-South geopolitical interaction, which has been ineffective and dangerous for the sovereignty of these nations. Therefore, throughout the work, the preponderant role that China plays in South-South Cooperation will be problematized, configuring a bloc of countries that pave the way towards the emergence of a multipolar world. This transition of the international order is reflected through the cooperation initiatives implemented in the countries of the Global South, framed in a structure whose principles are based on the basis of “win-win”.
