La inserción económica del Perú en el mundo tiene una dimensión política que suele ser omitida. Sin duda, la implementación del Tratado de Libre Comercio (TLC) con Estados Unidos (2009) tuvo causas y consecuencias que exceden lo estrictamente comercial. Un proceso de similar alcance es la participación del Perú en la Alianza del Pacífico (2011), ya que evidencia la importancia del libre comercio en la política exterior peruana de integración regional. Tales procesos buscan acercar al Perú a distintas cadenas de producción mundial, sin embargo, sus principios y repercusiones comparten puntos en común. A partir del análisis de ambas coyunturas, esta investigación busca comprender las causas y consecuencias de la legitimación del libre comercio en la política exterior peruana de integración regional. El estudio sigue una perspectiva neogramsciana, la cual investiga la int...

This paper seeks to describe and explain the character of Peruvian foreign policy towards China during the early 21st century. From a historical perspective focused on the role of internal factors, the analysis identifies the main governmental and nonstate actors that shape the China-Peru relation in three key dimensions: political/diplomatic, economic/ commercial, and military/strategic. Furthermore, shows how these aspects interrelate each other to shape the structure and the political process behind the adaptation of Peru to the rise of China. The study ends with some final thoughts on the benefits and vulnerabilities of maintaining a pragmatic approach to China. In this sense, the findings recognizes that one of the virtues of pragmatism is the construction of a flexible foreign policy, capable of diversify alliances with multiple great powers. However, the analysis also warns of the...

The creation of the Union of South American Nations (Unasur) in 2008 seemed to encourage the formation of an alternative regional order to the inter-American system led by the United States. This project emerged in a context characterized by the failure of the FTAA, Brazil's international projection and the strength of South American countries to face the global economic crisis. Such conditions led to the diffusion of post-hegemonic readings to understand the regionalization of South America. Nowadays, however, the quest for regional autonomy is limited both by domestic and regional factors and by systemic forces involved in shaping new regional orders.As part of its nearest influence zone, United States has vital interests in South America that may collide with projects of regional autonomy. Given this context, it is necessary to review how the US hegemony has evolved in the region and ...

Descripción: el curso abordará las principales teorías de las Relaciones Internacionales desarrolladas desde el nacimiento de la disciplina. Al no existir un marco teórico único aplicable a todos los aspectos de la dinámica internacional, el debate teórico tiene un desarrollo fraccionado y diversificado. Se trata de teorías que coexisten, se superponen y compiten, pero que en esencia son herramientas útiles para facilitar la interpretación de los hechos internacionales. Las diferentes perspectivas, sus contextos y metodologías serán examinadas a profundidad en dos cursos. En esta primera parte se revisarán las teorías dominantes de las Relaciones Internacionales desde sus orígenes hasta fines de la guerra fría, a saber: el Realismo, el Liberalismo, el Estructuralismo, y sus respectivas vertientes. En este sentido, se examinarán los fundamentos, alcances y límites de los...
