| Sumario: | Paradiplomacy and South-South cooperation have taken on a fundamental role in the development of international relations, allowing subnational actors, such as the province of San Juan, to establish strategic ties with other countries. In this context, China has emerged as a key partner for Latin America, promoting infrastructure, investment, and scientific cooperation projects.
This paper analyzes the relationship between San Juan and the People's Republic of China from the perspective of Paradiplomacy and South-South Cooperation. It examines the concept of soft power and its relationship with China's strategy in the region, as well as the background of relations between South-South countries, more specifically between Latin America and China. It also analyzes the specific case of the CART Project (China Argentina Radio Telescope), a scientific collaboration initiative that seeks to position San Juan as a center for astronomical research.
The analysis of the CART Project provides insight into the benefits and challenges of international cooperation at the subnational level. Among the opportunities, the transfer of technology, the strengthening of scientific capabilities, and the positioning of San Juan in the field of astronomy stand out. However, questions also arise regarding project management, the responsibilities of each actor, and the geopolitical implications of cooperation with China. This requires that new ties with the Asian giant be carefully planned to ensure mutual and balanced benefits. |
