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...

¿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-...

Beyond Colonialism: The Long Shadow of War in Latin America’s Development Capable states that enforce the rule of law, secure property rights, and provide public goods are prerequisites for development, but where do they originate?

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?👇
