Abstract

This research explores the similarities and differences in the interpretation of multipolarity, which have developed in the academic discourse of Russia and Latin America. The paper focuses on the position that prevails in Latin America regarding the Russia–Ukraine conflict, emphasizing the emergence of a group of countries within LAC that support “active neutrality.” The author concludes that existing contradictions in relation to the concept of multipolarity and the indifference of Latin American society to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, can be considered as a line separating LAC countries and Russia, which will negatively affect their relationship. Esta investigación explora las similitudes y diferencias en la interpretación de la multipolaridad que se han desarrollado en el discurso académico de Rusia y América Latina. El artículo analiza la postura predominante en América Latina respecto al conflicto entre Rusia y Ucrania, destacando la emergencia de un grupo de países que respaldan una ”neutralidad activa”. La autora concluye que las contradicciones existentes en torno al concepto de multipolaridad y la indiferencia de la sociedad latinoamericana ante el conflicto entre Rusia y Ucrania pueden considerarse como una línea divisoria entre los países de ALC y Rusia, lo cual afectará negativamente su relación.
