Se analizan las restricciones tecnológicas que se imponen en la región y limitan su participación, así como su aprovechamiento en el mercado, el establecimiento de relaciones centro-periferia entre China y la región. Se concluye que para aprovechar el potencial de las tierras raras en América Latina se tienen que impulsar políticas de industrialización, políticas fiscales y ambientales complementarias que garanticen el desarrollo sustentable de la región.]]></p></abstract>
