The Misnomer of “LatinAmerica” and The New
Geoestrategic G-3 World Order.
Since its
modern inception the so called LatinAmerica never has experienced the present
trends towards a more participatory democracy due greatly to the new
geostrategic world equilibrium which has been developing and that,in my humble
visión,accommodates a G-3 de facto between
US,Russia and China.
This G-3 with
its respective regional spheres of influence
has become clearer as a result of the virtual conflict resolution to the
syrian crisis.
The big
picture of the new geostrategic G-3 order
reflects the defining movements and moments coming from the G-7/NATO
directed by the US and also from the BRICS and the Shanghai Group where overlap
the respective interests from Russia and China.
The former “LatinAmerica”
is amisnomer and is no more correct due to the recent geopolitical positionings,even
before de virtual conflicto syrian resolution,where collide the new frameworks
of “NorthAmerica”,advanced by legislators
and policy makers from USA,and the
reactive concept of “SouthAmerica” coined by the the geostrategists from
Brazil,a conspicous member from the BRICS.
Implicitly,”CentralAmerica”
belongs to the concept of “NorthAmerica”,the modern US matrix,as a subdivision
where the national interests of Washington prevail at the the Gulf of Mexico---intended
to be rebaptized as the “Gulf of America”---and the Caribbean Sea:the so called
“Mediterranean American Sea” which totals an area of 4.2 kms2.

Mexico,Gulf of America,Caribbean Sea,and the Mediterranean American Sea.
Geoeconomics
and defense national security are also colliding within the former “LatinAmerica”
between the MERCOSUR/UNASUR---the economic and political integration---in front
of the broader Trans-Pacific Partnership
,contemplated to contain China as a the pivot of the Obama´s doctrine,and its
narrower regional application:The Pacific Alliance ---“Alianza del Pacífico”---Chile,Peru,Colombia
and Mexico).
Since the
death of president Hugo Chavez from Venezuela,the block ALBA has entered a new
phase which its natural road would to pertain in the near future to MERCOSUR.
Some school
of geopolitical thinking within the US define its “source of power” and the
last frontier of US in the hemisphere:tha Amazon as a divide between north and
south and the Greater Caribbean :from Yorktown at the mid North Atlancic
american ocean,to the Guainias.
I quote the
american-israeli geopolitician Robert Kaplan from Stratfor(18.61.2):
“American geopolitical
power historically has its source not in Europe or Asia but in the Greater
Caribbean. The Greater Caribbean is the world from Yorktown to the Guianas;
that is, from the mid-Atlantic states to the jungles of northern South America.
The Western Hemisphere, as the Dutch-American strategist Nicholas J. Spykman
explained in 1942, is not divided between North and South America. It is
divided between the latitudes north of the great barrier of the Amazonian
jungle and the latitudes south of it. In other words, from a geopolitical point
of view, Venezuela is not a South American country at all. It is a Caribbean
country: Most of its population of 28.8 million lives in the north along the
Caribbean Sea, secure from the jungles to the south”.
Through the Greater Caribbean
concept does the Pentagon pretend to recover what it lost in the past
decade in the former “LatinAmerica”?
Washington has made some
movements,overtly or behind the scenes,in Haití, Honduras and Paraguay.
On the brazilean side its
geestrategist developed a New Strategic Vision, written in the National Defense
Strategy(2008),with its three pillars:nuclear,spatial and cybernetic with its
two basic areas South Atlantic and the Amazon.
SouthaAmerica in the
brazilean optic is quite distinct from CentralAmerica and the Caribbean “closer
to US” or its “security perimeter” or the “American Mediterranean Sea” as
coined by Alfred Mahan.
The
participatory democracy more vigorously entrenched in SouthAmerica seems to
evolve convenientently in spite of authoritarian reactions promoted by US from
Venezuela to Paraguay. Honduras coup:the antecesor of the Egyptian model.
The reaction
from presidents of Southmerica has been unthinkable were it not because of its
particpatory democracy and the new G-3
balance in the world
The
scandals and leakages from Wikileaks and Snowden affected considerably the
image of the US and had repercussions in SouthAmerica at the extent point thst
.If the
american Snowden is exiled in Russia ,the australian Assange is exiled at the
Ecuador embassy.Its symbolism is enormous.
Dilma
Roussef the brazilean president has lambasted at the Assembly General of the
United Nations the espionage and blatant intrusión from the NSA which captured
strategic data from Petrobras,its presidencny and the army. The damage to the
relationshipp with US is huge and Dilma cancelled its programmed visit to the
uS.
This
vigorous response would not have been posible without de support of the whole
brazilean society.
Morover:Brazil
is now behind the creation o f new internet cable form tyhe BRICS in order tu
cut ist dependency on the US.centric internet.The world is changing dramatically
in accordance.
