Opinion Sur
The globalization process has placed the world geopolitics as one of the mayor constraints in the course of humanity and their planetary consequences: it makes for the development or subjection of nations, the care or destruction of the environment, the international governance and security; it establishes the preeminence of a few and the lag of the many; it imposes some voices that resonate over a lot of others. Some actors that erected themselves as principal leaders weigh disproportionally more than the rest that swirls around in pursuit of a global democracy that is still far from curdling.
The geopolitical rearrangements that have been happening in the last decades generated a topography where old and new traits overlap; central countries arm-wrestling with emergent powers; a different distribution of economic and political influences together with a greater concentration of the military power; more and more decisions that end up in the hands of financial powers; alienation of behaviors and silencing of responsibilities. We have gone from a bipolar world to a unipolar one and now towards a system of polarities still under construction.
In this issue of Opinion Sur these and other critical geopolitical dimensions are addressed together with important dimensions regarding our national spaces.
