Description
Summary:This paper aims to build a theoretical model to analyze, from a historical perspective, the current transmission of the United States hegemony to China and its effects on Latin America. The model of analysis constructed shows that, historically, the end of the supremacy of a hegemonic center is produced by a systemic crisis of over-accumulation of capital that requires capitalism to expand. Thus, the historical constant has been that the capitalist system overcomes its crisis by expanding with a cycle of overexploitation of labor and raw materials that industrializes the emerging economies and decapitalizes the peripheries, making emerging centers such as China candidates to become a hegemonic center, while peripheries such as Latin America deepen and perpetuate their condition of underdevelopment.
