Chinese financing in Latin America and the Caribbean (2000-2018). The case of Central America and Panama

Abstract

The chapter seeks to analyze the diplomatic and economic relations between the People’s Republic of China (prc) and countries of Central America. Even though there is not a clear strategy, on behalf of this region, as to how to manage new relationships with China, the emergence of the Asian giant in international politics and international markets has compelled Central American countries to establish or consider establishing bilateral relations with this emerging power (Dussel Peters 2018).
