| Summary/Abstract |
The lack of attention that the United States is paying to Latin America, on the one hand, and the growing levels of economic and political influence China is gaining in the Southern Cone, on the other, are increasing the number of disputes between states and allowing governments to distance themselves from Washington. This scenario might allow Beijing to obtain new allies in its global competition with the U.S. and put an end to the latter's hegemony in the Western Hemisphere-endangering, then, American security. If the United States wants to avoid this, it will have to increase its links with states such as Brazil and Argentina.
