Abstract

Resumen Las Relaciones Internacionales, tanto su origen disciplinar y académico, como su consolidación teórica y científica se ubican en países potencias o jugadores de primer orden, especialmente en los Estados Unidos. Por lo tanto, a pesar de que la ciencia de las Relaciones Internacionales procura una compresión global del sistema internacional, los modelos teóricos establecidos en las primeras décadas de consolidación científica obedecían a la comprensión de los fenómenos internacionales desde la óptica de las grandes potencias. Modelos teóricos que al momento de ser aplicados a las realidades y dinámicas particulares de los denominados Estados periféricos, carecían muchas veces de validez. Por lo tanto, con el fin de llenar dichos vacíos teóricos, desde la década de los anos 1970, en regiones como América Latina surgen interesantes desarrollos y aportes a las Relaciones internacionales, que han evolucionado también al ritmo mismo del contexto histórico de la región, convirtiéndose en instrumentos teóricos cada vez más refinados y pertinentes con el fin de comprender, analizar y establecer las Relaciones Internacionales en esta región. Son aportes que se encuentran vigentes y también contribuyen a la comprensión de lo internacional por fuera de los centros tradicionales de poder. ****** Abstract International Relations, in their disciplinary and academic origin, as well as in their theoretical and scientific consolidation are powered mainly by the first-order countries, particularly, the United States. Therefore, although the science of International Relations seeks for a comprehensive understanding of the whole international system, the theoretical models established in the early decades of the scientific consolidation of this discipline were oriented to understand the international phenomena from the perspective of the most powerful nations. These were theoretical models which often lacked validity especially, when they applied to particular realities and dynamics of the so-called Peripheral Countries. In order to fill these gaps, since the early 70s, interesting developments and contributions to international relations have emerged from regions such as Latin America. These have evolved to the pace of the historical context of the regions themselves. They have turned into more relevant and more sophisticated theoretical instruments leading to understand, analyze and establish the theoretical tools of international relations in this region. These contributions have also helped to understand the International contexts outside the traditional centers of power.
