Resumen
The Southern African region is emerging as a new geopolitical complex stage in the struggle for the acquisition of exploration rights, mining and distribution of strategic minerals that has increased the presence of the number of strategic actors in this area. In this regard, it is interesting to analyze the power game taking place between the US and China in order to neutralize the strategic weakness that represents the lack of these natural resources, essential for the development of its industries, as well as the opportunity they represent as a mechanism to expand the areas of their extra-continental influence. Thus, this research analyzes the effects of recent geostrategy of the two active players in the international contemporary system from the exploitation of mineral resources in relation to the States of the southern African region during the 2000-2010.
