Nuevo Orden Mundial

There are at least four axes to look at in 2025. One first is the conflict between the great powers, where the US increased its offensive against China's production and trade. The trade war unleashed in March 2018 by Trump himself will have diverse consequences for the world. The second axis is climate change, which will have an impact on the prices of the food basket. It is an already present issue aggravated by drought floods and climate change in general. The third is the continuation of the open attack on international regulatory institutions by Washington. The fourth axis is the energy competition between the great powers and its derivative effects.

Latin America is caught in the middle of a great power conflict. On the one side is Washington and on the other Beijing. At the G20 meeting, Xi Jinping played a leading role thanks to his ally Brazil.

In this way the author sees the concept of spheres of influence where there is one dominant and one subordinate. In this article we will look at the alignment of Latin American countries with the great powers, and see which way the balance tips.

En el año del Dragon de 2024 hubo dos grandes problemas tecnológico empresariales que remecieron al mundo. De un lado un vehículo de Boeing voló a la estación internacional y no pudo regresar, y del otro Volkswagen anunció el cierre de dos fábricas muy grandes. Son síntomas del problema tecnológico y de productividad en occidente y su incapacidad para competir con los orientales, más allá de China. Fue un año donde las economías de Asia crecieron nuevamente a tasas por encima de 5% y las de América Latina, Europa a menos de 2%, con EEUU con una tasa análoga. Los déficits fiscales de las economías del G7 mantuvieron su tendencia alta y las deudas publicas de dichas economías continúan su recorrido por encima de 100% del PIB, sin viso de reducirse. La de EEUU se proyecta que seguirá en aumento, mientras su PIB crece muy moderadamente y con un déficit externo masivo a pesar del neoproteccionismo.
