Viaje al centro de la Tierra: la geopolítica del heartland

Paulo Duarte

Resumen


Este artículo apunta a destacar las principales características históricas y geopolíticas de Asia Central, una región sobre la cual algunos autores como Brzezinski, afirman que quien controle ese espacio, gobernará el planeta, vinculando por otro lado, la durabilidad de la hegemonía estadounidense a la política de Washington en la región. ¿Por qué Asia central es importante en el sistema internacional? El argumento central es que ésta es una región de gran importancia en el escenario económico actual, como resultado de su historia, su geografía y su posición estratégica como nexo entre Oriente y Occidente; un espacio de competencia y de fortalecimiento para las grandes potencias.


Palabras clave


Asia Central; geopolítica; el espacio post-soviético.
