Precisely, it asks: in view of neoclassical realism, what factors explain the Chinese state's incentive to renewable energy? As a hypothesis, it is assumed that the incentive behavior towards renewable energy results from the interaction between systemic variables – related to the dimension of energy security – and domestic variables, notably the Chinese authorities' perception of the seriousness of the environmental problem and the relevance of the green economy, including the energy transition, for the country's international ascension process. To verify the hypothesis, a qualitative documentary and bibliographic research is foreseen, which will be functional, first, to a mapping of the risks that China's strategic environment presents to national energy security; and to the verification of the link between the consolidation of the Green Civilization ideology during the governments of Hu Jintao and Xi Jinping, and a greater commitment of the State to the clean energy industry between 2003 and 2021. Although the Chinese energy matrix remains predominantly fossil, international achievements reveal how renewable energy, in the Chinese case, go beyond the search for energy security and integrate a well-defined strategy to establish the economic and technological competitiveness of the country in the International System.; Esta tesis pretende explicar el desarrollo de las energías renovables en China, basándose en aportaciones teóricas del campo realista de las Relaciones Internacionales (RI). Precisamente, se pregunta: a la vista del realismo neoclásico, ¿qué factores explican el incentivo del Estado chino a las energías renovables? Como hipótesis, se asume que el comportamiento de incentivo hacia las energías renovables resulta de la interacción entre variables sistémicas – relacionadas con la dimensión de la seguridad energética – y variables domésticas, en particular la percepción de las autoridades chinas de la gravedad del problema medioambiental y la relevancia de la economía verde, incluida la transición energética, para el proceso de ascenso internacional del país. Para verificación de la hipótesis, se prevé una investigación cualitativa documental y bibliográfica, funcional, en primer lugar, a un levantamiento de los riesgos que el entorno estratégico de China presenta para la seguridad energética nacional; y a la comprobación del nexo entre la consolidación de la ideología de la Civilización Verde, en los gobiernos de Hu Jintao y Xi Jinping, y un mayor compromiso del Estado con la industria de las energías limpias, entre 2003 y 2021. Aunque la matriz energética china sigue siendo predominantemente fósil, los logros a nivel internacional revelan cómo las energías renovables, en el caso chino, van más allá de la búsqueda de la seguridad energética e integran una estrategia, bien definida, interesada en establecer la competitividad económica y tecnológica del país en el Sistema Internacional.

The research was carried out using multiple sources: specialized literature; reports from international organizations and think tanks; official documents and speeches by leaders of both countries. The New Silk Road is the main Chinese project on the global stage and is responsible for investment in infrastructure works, having invested more than US$1 trillion over its ten years of implementation (2013-2023). In South America, this project focuses on three main areas: energy, transport and telecommunications. The choice of Bolivia as an object was based on the fact that the country is the largest holder of lithium, a critical mineral used in high-value goods and in energy transition projects. This country joined the initiative in 2018, expressing its interest in attracting investments in the transport and energy sector, while it also wants to invest in its industrial park and produce goods with greater added value.

The research starts from the argument that militarized masculinities, marked by aggressiveness and control over feminized bodies, use sexual violence as an instrument of power, social control, and humiliation of the enemy, contributing to economic gains and the strengthening of the group’s internal hierarchies. The adopted methodology is based on Feminist Political Economy, which analyzes the intersections between political-economic inequalities, militarization, and gender identities at local, national, and global levels. The dissertation articulates post-structuralist and decolonial feminist approaches to understand gender as a discursive structure that produces violence and security in the context of war. The work unfolds in three chapters: initially, it discusses the construction of hegemonic masculinities and militarist discourses that associate virility with the use of force, consolidating hierarchical gender roles. Next, it examines the dynamics of the Colombian conflict, highlighting the convergence of interests among agrarian elites, state agents, and extractive capital, who use sexual violence as a tool for territorial expropriation and social control. Finally, it analyzes the sexual violence perpetrated by the AUC and its military and economic purposes, evidencing its role in reproducing a social order marked by gender, race, and class. The results demonstrate that sexual violence is an institutionalized and instrumentalized practice, sustained by power arrangements that traverse coloniality, racism, and militarized patriarchy. The research contributes to expanding the debates by placing Latin America at the center of analyses on sexual violence in war, emphasizing the need for intersectional approaches that consider sexuality, race, and class as co-constitutive dimensions of the war economy.

The Author articulates this general objective with a reflection on the challenges, reach and limitations of those publications by the People's Republic of China (PRC). Starting from the theoretical-methodological provocations of Translation Policies in International Relations, the author considers the processes of deconceptualization and transformation that occur in translations, to question how they influence the interpretation of references from Chinese culture and philosophy, present in the Chinese language version of the White Papers selected for analysis, published on September 26, 2023. From this, she observed that translation influences the constitution and content of the PRC's corresponding White Papers. The main question of this dissertation is: How do these Chinese references, present in the Chinese language version of the selected White Papers, occur in their English translation? The research methodology consists in documentary research, associated to the analysis of concepts translations, sustained by bibliographic research in contemporary references on Chinese philosophy, researchers focused on the history of China from the 19th to the 21st centuries, and in theoretical-ideological productions linked to the Chinese Communist Party. As result, the author noticed that the White Paper in Chinese language is theoretically based on the Chinese political-cultural tradition principles, as revisited in Socialism with Chinese Characteristics, and upon this the proposal for humanity with a shared future is presented; however, in the English translated version, this theoretical basis does not come through, due the processes of deconceptualization and transformation that concepts and notions of Chinese philosophy undergo. As a contribution to the field, the author highlights the importance of the production of knowledge in China, both ancient and contemporary, which unfolds in its political-cultural tradition, and of the analysis of intercultural translations, in International Relations, by presenting methodological possibilities of analysis little explored in qualitative research from the area, and constituting a new typology of data classification, the translations of concepts, in this research.
