O papel da política nuclear na construção de rivalidades entre China e EUA

Abstract

Nuclear policy is a topic that raises great debates within International Relations. China and the United States, the greatest political-defence powers of today, are holders of this technology in different quantities and doctrines. Something that they have in common is like several alliances and some disaffections within the Asian continent, making the United States, attentive to the dynamics of the region's functioning, and China to be alert to its interferences and power projection, as the communist regime is a great actor capable of coordinating great dynamics of its influence for its neighbors on the continent. As a result, a small country on the Korean Peninsula has great concerns due to the development of a nuclear weapons program, North Korea. Therefore, the present work aims to determine how nuclear policy acts in the construction of Sino-US rivalries in the Asian Supercomplex, emphasizing the North Korean issue through a constructivist perspective through the theories developed by the Copenhagen School, whose materials used consist of a bibliographical review and research and analysis of official documents.
