Abstract

Latin America has been a major focus of the imperialist offensive articulated by central states and their transnational corporations in the context of neoliberal globalization. The application of neoliberal policies and the imperialist recolonization action in the region triggered, in turn, widespread resistance of the masses, who took the leading role in the social struggles, occasioning a reconfiguration of power relations in the region. This paper analyzes the recent changes in power relations from the tensions resulting from the process recolonization of Latin America.
