Abstract
Este estudio examina el potencial de la diplomacia científica de Chile con los países miembros de la Asociación de Naciones del Sudeste Asiático (ASEAN), analizando las oportunidades para posicionar al país como puente entre el Sudeste Asiático y Amé-rica Latina. Con base en una metodología cualitativa e interdis-ciplinar, incorporando análisis documental y entrevistas semies-tructuradas, el estudio evalúa dos de los laboratorios naturales emblemáticos de Chile: la astronomía y el océano. Al observar su trayectoria histórica, sostenemos que la astronomía constituye un modelo exitoso de colaboración científica internacional que debe informar estrategias diplomáticas más amplias. El análisis de los recursos marinos revela oportunidades significativas donde se ofrecen ventajas únicas para la cooperación científica interna-cional, particularmente, en el abordaje de desafíos cruciales como la transición energética, la mitigación del cambio climático y la conservación de la biodiversidad marina. El estudio concluye que la diplomacia científica representa un instrumento viable para profundizar las relaciones Chile-ASEAN, aunque persisten desafíos relacionados con restricciones presupuestarias, distancia geográfica y desarrollo del marco institucional
This study examines the potential of Chile's science diplomacy to forge stronger relations with the member countries of the Associa-tion of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), analysing opportunities to position the country as a bridge between Southeast Asia and Latin America. Based on an interdisciplinary, qualitative metho-dology, incorporating documentary analysis and semi-structured interviews, the study evaluates two of Chile's emblematic natural laboratories: the skies (astronomy) and the ocean (marine sciences). Looking at its historical trajectory, we argue that astronomy cons-titutes a successful model of international scientific collaboration that should inform broader diplomatic strategies. The analysis of Chile’s marine resources reveals significant opportunities given that this area offers unique advantages for international scientific cooperation, particularly in addressing crucial challenges such as energy transition, climate change mitigation and marine bio-diversity conservation. The study concludes that science diplo-macy represents a viable instrument for deepening Chile-ASEAN relations, although challenges related to budgetary constraints, geographical distance and the development of the institutional framework remain
