Geopolitical challenges of the XXI century (DIEEEA05-2016)

Globalization is a phenomenon that affects the entire world population, either positively or negatively. The world has become a global village where distances are mere anecdote. Current telecommunications and transport have ‘shrunk’ the planet. Interconnection is greater than anyone could ever think. Therefore, poverty, insecurity, crisis or war in what was once a corner of the Earth, has become today a global problem. The instability has increased in a troubled world system after the fall of the Soviet Union, a phenomenon that has marked the end of the ‘tense’ Cold War order. New players, among which non-state ones outstand, have appeared in the ‘Global Era’ and compete with the ‘old’ nation-states for the international leadership. This is a time in history where change and instability have no parallel in history being proportional to the speed required to transmit information.
