In 2003 Chinese investment in the region was $29 billion, by 2012 it had reached $270 billion. Coupled with this commercial element of China-Latin America relations is a growing assertiveness in diplomatic and military affairs. Yet Beijing is showing caution in its diplomatic engagement, especially with the more left leaning countries of Venezuela and Ecuador. However, Latin America's enthusiasm in this regard has taken even the Chinese by surprise. What are we to make of these shifting dynamics? In this detailed and up-to-the-minute investigation, Chris Alden, author of the critically acclaimed China in Africa, and Alvaro Mendez, leading expert in the international relations of Latin America, look at the interests, strategies and practices of China's incoming power. What can be learned by comparing Latin America with other developing regions in which China has had significant economic ties and a growing diplomatic stake? Does Beijing's approach to Latin America really differ, as is often claimed by Chinese leaders, from its approach to Africa? And more broadly, how should we read the curious and uneven decline of both the US and Europe as actors in the region?"-- $c Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a Latin America $x Foreign economic relations $z China. 651 0 $a China $x Foreign economic relations $z Latin America. 651 0 $a Latin America $x Commerce $z China. 651 0 $a China $x Commerce $z Latin America. 650 0 $a Investments, Chinese $z Latin America. 651 0 $a Latin America $x Economic conditions $y 21st century. 650 7 $a Commerce. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00869279 650 7 $a Economic history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901974 650 7 $a International economic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00976891 650 7 $a Investments, Chinese. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00978350 651 7 $a China. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206073 651 7 $a Latin America. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01245945 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 700 1 $a Mendez, Alvaro, $e author. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Alden, Chris. $t China and Latin America $d London ; New York : Bloomsbury Academic, [2023] $z 9781786992550 $w (DLC) 2022032019 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117020118.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=49DE46F20CD411EEAAE9666853ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
