Resumen

La Unión Europea (UE) ha comenzado recientemente a redirigir su atención hacia América Latina. Los países que conforman la región son importantes no solo por su peso territorial y demográfico combinado, sino también por su relevancia política internacional como parte del Sur Global y por su riqueza en materias primas. La UE sigue siendo el mayor inversor en América Latina, aunque en la última década ha sido desplazada en el ámbito comercial por China, cuya relación con la UE se ha deteriorado en los últimos años hasta el punto de ser catalogada como “rival sistémico”. Este capítulo analiza el deterioro de la relación entre la UE y China, la intensificación de los vínculos entre el país asiático y América Latina en general, y el Perú en particular, y finalmente, la manera en que la Unión Europea está respondiendo a estas nuevas realidades. El Perú constituye un caso de estudio relevante no solo porque actualmente está en el centro de atención como sede de la Reunión Ministerial de APEC 2024, sino también por la construcción del megaporto de Chancay, con el potencial de redefinir la relación del Perú y de América Latina con la región Asia-Pacífico.
