Abstract

Spanish Abstract: Los estudios sobre la Geopolitica han estado caracterizados por construcciones estadocentricas que limitan el alcance a condiciones rigidas en la clasica configuracion entre espacio y poder. Si bien ha habido un avance critico alrededor del concepto con nuevos aportes epistemologicos, las nociones al respecto en zonas perifericas como el Caribe se conciben como herencias terminologicas y que no corresponden a la esencia particular de los contextos y realidades. En ese sentido, surge la necesidad de generacion de un conocimiento propio referente a la Geopolitica desde el Caribe en vez de hacia el Caribe. Adicionalmente, la construccion de un concepto de sur-alterno sobre dicha area para lograr un fundamento epistemologico propio y que se desprenda de herencias categoricas. Por tal razon, el presente articulo busca responder el cuestionamiento sobre ?como se han construido los conceptos de la sur-alternidad y la geopolitica en el Caribe. English Abstract: Studies on Geopolitics have been characterized by state-centered constructions that limit scope to rigid conditions in the classical configuration between space and power. Although there has been a critical advance around the concept with new epistemological contributions, notions about it in peripheral areas such as the Caribbean are conceived as terminological legacies and do not correspond to the particular essence of the contexts and realities. In this sense, there is a need to generate own knowledge regarding Geopolitics from the Caribbean instead of the Caribbean. Additionally, the construction of a concept of south-alternate on said area to achieve an epistemological foundation of its own and that detaches itself from categorical legacies. For this reason, this article seeks to answer the question about how have the concepts of south-alternity and geopolitics been built in the Caribbean.
