Qué hay detrás de la aparente locura de Trump frente al mundo Aunque a primera vista incoherentes, las acciones de política exterior del presidente de Estados Unidos revelan un patrón que podría formar parte de una estrategia destinada a frenar el ascenso chino

Si interpretamos los aranceles a Canadá y la UE como “desacople” (reacción a sus acuerdos comerciales con China en las últimas semanas) y lo de Groenlandia como “disuasión territorial”, este artículo habría envejecido muy, pero muy bien www.lanacion.com.ar/estados-unid...

¿Mito o realidad?: América para EE.UU., Ucrania para Rusia y Taiwán para China La distribución del mundo en zonas de influencias entre potencias constituye un diagnóstico equivocado

¿Trump le puso fin al orden de posguerra o es un reacomodamiento estratégico? Contra la idea de un cambio de era, la política exterior de Trump encaja con un patrón en que Estados Unidos, viendo su primacía amenazada, suspende y rediseña el panorama internacional mediante la co...

¿Fin del orden de posguerra? En @lanacioncom.bsky.social argumento que este annus horribilis no es una ruptura, sino un reacomodamiento como los de Truman y Nixon para asegurar la ventaja de EEUU frente a la URSS y permitirle volver a una hegemonía benévola. www.lanacion.com.ar/el-mundo/la-...

La Estrategia de Seguridad Nacional de Trump fue leída como otorgando a América Latina una nueva relevancia estratégica.

Este documento indaga en la inutilidad de la aspersión aerea para erradicar cultivos de coca y demas, la cual generalmente provoca mas violencia y deslegitima al estado, incentivando la violencia contra agentes estatales

If we set aside ad-hoc explanations, two forces stand out in shaping global development: colonial institutions and war—even if the former fails to explain Europe itself. Latin America has long tilted the debate away from the latter, but what if the real driver was war here as well?👇
