ABSTRACT:
Transpacific relations (RT, for its acronym in Spanish) as a construct for the analysis of the most active economic region of the 21st century, represent an analytical instrument that has been shaped to improve knowledge of the Pacific Basin. In the present article, geo-economics as well as geopolitical aspects of insular order are incorporated. Neocolonialism, national security, exploitation of natural resources with respect for the environment, supported in historical facts, are concepts that are added to strengthen the knowledge of RT in general by taking as a reference the multi-named Medanos Island-Clipperton Island-Ile de la Passion, located to 10o17'38''N/109o13'02''W, geographically belonging to the Revillagigedo Islands, Colima, Mexico, but under French ownership.
