Resumen
Objetivo/contexto: este artículo examina la evolución de la estrategia diplomática de China en América Latina en términos de la eficacia con la que los diplomáticos chinos se han adaptado a las exigencias del compromiso multidimensional de su país con la región durante las últimas tres décadas. Esta estrategia sustenta las inversiones de China en la región y se relaciona con cuestiones de integración regional y cooperación cultural. Metodología: el estudio se basa en una base de datos recopilada por el autor, en la que se hace un seguimiento de las carreras de todos los diplomáticos chinos de alto nivel en América Latina desde 1990 hasta 2020. Se trata de un estudio cualitativo con la adición de datos cuantitativos que ofrece unos estudios de caso representativos. Conclusiones: el autor observa cambios en la forma en que los diplomáticos chinos del siglo XXI han adoptado la diplomacia de redes y han mejorado sus habilidades de relacionarse con públicos y Gobiernos extranjeros. Se ha puesto a prueba la competencia de los diplomáticos para involucrarse localmente y demostrar resultados positivos, especialmente durante la pandemia de COVID-19, mientras que los excesos de la llamada diplomacia del Guerrero lobo parecen haber sido frenados. El artículo evidencia una evolución continua en los esfuerzos centralizados pero a menudo contrapuestos de las organizaciones que participan en las operaciones de China en el exterior, incluidos los ministerios, las organizaciones del Partido Comunista y las instituciones educativas. Originalidad: al centrarse en los diplomáticos como agentes clave, el estudio ofrece nuevas perspectivas sobre el compromiso diplomático y económico de China con la región de América Latina. También utiliza una novedosa base de datos que se hará pública tras la publicación de este estudio.
