La política de seguridad marítima del Estado chino y la zona gris en las disputas territoriales del mar de China Meridional: un enfoque geopolítico desde el realismo neoclásico

The maritime security policy of the Chinese state and the gray zone in the territorial disputes in the South China Sea: A geopolitical approach from neoclassical realism

Contenido principal del artículo

Resumen

Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar la relación entre la política de seguridad marítima de China y las disputas territoriales en la zona gris en el mar de China Meridional. El estudio examina esta relación a través de la estrategia y los medios de la política de seguridad marítima china con el objetivo de aclarar los factores que influyeron en esta para llevar sus disputas territoriales a la zona gris. El artículo argumenta que las rivalidades entre los países de la región, fomentadas por la Convención de las Naciones Unidas sobre el Derecho del Mar, operaron como presión externa sobre China. Además, los factores geopolíticos y la percepción de la élite gobernante china han contribuido a considerar la Un Clos una amenaza para los intereses marítimos de China en el mar de China Meridional. En consecuencia, la política de seguridad marítima china busca cambiar el statu quo en la región para convertir a China en una potencia regional hegemónica con su esfera de influencia, al tiempo que evita una guerra abierta con sus vecinos y Estados Unidos.
