Una gran competencia de poder más agresiva y los efectos disruptivos de las nuevas tecnologías han dado un nuevo impulso al análisis del impacto de la geografía en las decisiones políticas. Durante la última década, el Mediterráneo y Oriente Medio y el Norte de África (MENA) han experimentado transformaciones sociales, políticas y económicas profundas y de gran alcance que han contribuido a niveles de volatilidad e incertidumbre sin precedentes. Este estudio examina estos cambios que han remodelado muchas de las características tradicionales del orden geopolítico vigente en la región durante décadas y que pueden tener el potencial de hacerlo en un futuro próximo en el ámbito estratégico de las infraestructuras.

THE ROLE OF CHINA IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND NORTH AFRICA (MENA). BEYOND ECONOMIC INTERESTS?
Oriente Próximo y el Norte de África han sido tradicionalmente más bien periféricos a los intereses de China. No obstante, desde principios de los años 2000, con una demanda de energía rápidamente creciente en el gigante asiático y el lanzamiento de la llamada guerra mundial contra el terrorismo, la región ha estado cada vez más en el radar de Pekín, que en 2013 ponía en marcha la Iniciativa del Cinturón y Ruta de la Seda. El presente estudio explora este proceso de aproximación entre China y el mundo árabe que no es solo económico, sino que tiene claras vertientes sociales y políticas. También analiza qué supone este creciente vínculo para la Unión Europea y su área de vecindad.
