The economical and political matrix in Latin America and the Caribbean is divided internally by the emergency of supranational blocks that demand a new geopolitical projection, through negotiations between spaces and scopes of power between center and periphery. From this perspective, strategies are implemented that influence the new configuration of the world system. In this paper, we try to identify the national States with the ability to project themselves as an active semi-periphery. Mexico has for her objective to reinforce the strategy of North America and appears as a subordinate semiperiphery. Brazil project herself as a semiperiphery with aspirations of global South-North potency, questioning and redefining her relations with the world central powers. The emergency of a anti-hegemonic semiperiphery is commanded by Venezuela, through an active international South-South policy. Simultaneously, new alternative world actors emerge that are not limited to the map of national governments of "left" but carry an alternative social and anti-hegemonic imaginary of the World system.
