    El concepto de identidad y su (re)construcción han ocupado un papel periférico en el mainstream de las Relaciones Internacionales. En consecuencia, las transformaciones sistémicas que se están produciendo en el sistema internacional actual son analizadas desde una visión materialista que ve la emergencia de nuevos poderes como una amenaza. En concreto, el ascenso de China viene acompañado de discursos de la amenaza que reconstruyen la otredad entre China y Estados Unidos en términos demonizadores. Por ello, es necesario analizar este fenómeno desde teorías que incluyan variables identitarias para así avanzar hacia la deconstrucción de este tipo de discursos.

    The concept of identity and its reconstruction has been misplaced in the periphery of International Relations mainstream. Therefore, the rise of new powers in the international system has been analyzed from a materialistic view and usually portrayed as a threat to the stability of the whole system. In particular, China�s rise is accompanied by speeches of threat that reconstruct the otherness between China and the US in demonizing terms. Therefore, it is essential to analyze this phenomenon from theories that include identity variables to move towards the deconstruction of such dangerous speeches.
