South-South Relations beyond the Washington Consensus
Edited by Alex E. Fernández Jilberto and Barbara Hogenboom
Published in Association with the Centre for Latin American Research and Documentation (CEDLA), Amsterdam
Summary
The last quarter of the twentieth century was a period of economic crises, increasing indebtedness as well as
financial instability for Latin America and most other developing countries; in contrast, China showed
amazingly high growth rates during this time and has since become the third largest economy in the world.
Politically, China presents itself more prominently on the international stage, stressing its position as a
developing country and seeking new alliances, including South–South alliances. Based on several case studies,
this volume assesses how China’s rise—one of the most important recent changes in the global economy—is
affecting Latin America’s national politics, political economy, and regional and international relations. Several
Latin American countries benefit from China’s economic growth by means of commodity exports, rising prices,
and Chinese investment. Furthermore, China’s new role in international politics has been helpful to many
leftist governments’ efforts in Latin America to end the Washington Consensus. The contributors to this
thought-provoking volume examine these and the other causes, effects, and prospects of Latin America’s
experiences with China’s global expansion from a South-South perspective.
“[A] crucial contribution to Latin American Studies on a subject of ever increasing urgency. From a political
economy perspective this sophisticated yet accessible volume covers the waterfront of major domestic and
international relations issues raised by China’s growing influence in the region. The focus on the longer-term
development implications of the relationship for Latin America raise a critical question that cuts to the core
of Latin America’s perennial dilemma. How will the region wean itself off raw materials exports as the
principal engine of economic growth? The relationship with China, in any case, does not seem to be the path.”
