TELIAS, Diego  y  WILCHINSKI, Marcelo. China’s donations to Latin America and their determinants: lessons from the Uruguayan case. Rev. Urug. Cienc. Polít. [online]. 2023, vol.32, n.2, pp.9-35.  Epub 01-Dic-2023. ISSN 0797-9789.  https://doi.org/10.26851/rucp.32.2.1.

The literature dealing with the determinants of Chinese donations tends to focus purely on structural aspects. This article studies Chinese donations to Latin America in the context of the covid-19 pandemic and delves into the Uruguayan case, seeking to broaden the scope of this literature by proposing new hypotheses to explain the phenomenon. Based on the analysis of both quantitative data and in-depth interviews with key diplomatic actors, it proposes that the role of diplomatic corps, international relations between subnational units and conjunctural aspects of image should be incorporated into the analysis if it is searched to have a more complete notion of the phenomenon.

Palabras clave : China; Uruguay; Latin America; donations; covid-19.
