Abstract

Abstract Abstract: Guyana has a strategic geographic position in the Amazon and the Greater Caribbean area, as revealed in the strategic thinking and military presence of the United States (USA). Its territory also possesses abundant natural resources, especially after the recent and significant oil discoveries, having the American company ExxonMobil as protagonist. Meanwhile, the country is characterised by a domestic political and ethnic cleavage. In addition, Venezuela and Guyana are in a historical dispute for the Essequibo area, which is potentially endowed and surrounded by areas with strategic resources. The main argument of the paper is that the oil discoveries in Guyana are leading to geopolitical and geoeconomic impacts regarding the intensification of domestic and foreign disputes, involving American and Venezuelan interests and recent state actions. More broadly, it points out that the north of South America has become one of the stages of the global power strife, in view of the Sino-Russian and American presences, in a context of Brazil’s absence. To survey and evaluate the actors’ actions resulting from the oil findings in Guyana, the paper is based on geopolitical and geoeconomic concepts, energy data, specialised academic and journalistic bibliography.
圭亚那:石油,国内争端,美国和委内瑞拉
摘要摘要:圭亚那在亚马逊和大加勒比地区具有战略地理位置,这体现在美国的战略思想和军事存在上。其领土还拥有丰富的自然资源,特别是在最近以美国埃克森美孚公司为主角的重大石油发现之后。与此同时,这个国家的特点是国内政治和种族分裂。此外,委内瑞拉和圭亚那对埃塞奎博地区存在历史争端,该地区具有潜在的战略资源,并被具有战略资源的地区所包围。本文的主要论点是,圭亚那的石油发现正在导致地缘政治和地缘经济影响,涉及国内和国外争端的加剧,涉及美国和委内瑞拉的利益以及最近的国家行动。更广泛地说,它指出,鉴于中俄和美国的存在,在巴西缺席的背景下,南美洲北部已成为全球权力冲突的一个阶段。为了调查和评估圭亚那石油发现所导致的行为者的行动,本文基于地缘政治和地缘经济概念、能源数据、专业学术和新闻参考书目。
