El sorprendente desempeño económico y la creciente influencia política de la República Popular China va despejando las dudas respecto a un cambio en el liderazgo global y la configuración de una nueva arquitectura mundial. El presente trabajo adopta una metodología cualitativa para profundizar en el esquema de orden mundial al estilo chino, que intenta cambiar los paradigmas clásicos de la política internacional. No obstante, el país asiático enfrenta grandes desafíos para consolidar este proyecto, debido a que gran parte del mundo occidental lo considera desafiante. El objetivo del artículo es analizar la visión china del orden mundial y los retos que conlleva la presencia de una nueva potencia en ascenso en el sistema global.

Abstract

The surprising economic performance and growing political influence of the People’s Republic of China are clearing up doubts regarding a change in global leadership and the configuration of a new world architecture. This paper adopts an analytical-empirical method approach to delve into the basis of the Chinese-style world order proposal which attempts to change the classic paradigms of international politics. However, the Asian country faces great challenges to consolidate this project; much of the Western world considers it challenging. The aim of this article is to analyze the Chinese vision of world order and the challenges that the presence of a new rising power in the global system entails.
