Geopolitics and geoeconomics in the globalizing process

This research book aims to: a) analyze the geopolitical and geoeconomic elements that influenced the development of the international system; 2) identify which of those elements are still valid in the 21st century; and 3) introduce some future scenarios for such system. Its starting point is that the comprehension of what has occurred in the globalizing process since the Peace of Westphalia (17th century) until today is necessary to understand, in all itscomplexity, the global landscape in which we live. The book identifies, describes, and makes comprehensible the geopolitical and geoeconomic aspects of today’s world and its future possibilities, a task in which economic history plays an essential role due to the interactions among interests of States, transnational companies, multilateral organizations, etc. The book highlights the emergence of actors other than the Nation State born in the Peace ofWestphalia, and that such Nation State and the system in which it interacts have undergone major transformations. The geopolitics-geoeconomics binomial is proposed as unit of analysis using the interpretive framework of Krasner’s evolutionary game theory. The globalizing process is discussed at different stages based on its interrelation with economic thinking and technology, avoiding the theoretical simplification that usually prevails in this field of study.
