The COVID-19 Pandemic and a New World Order

The consequences of the coronavirus are of a different order. This book considers some of those that affect the world order, which will have various impacts in the post-pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has not been the first nor the last, in a world in which humanity has failed to maintain a proper relationship with nature and with the planet. It has reacted with varied interpretations of the coronavirus, some rational and others absurd that incorporate linear and even conspiracy theories, which invite us to think about the future in unnecessary authoritarian drifts, compared to those of respect for democratic individual freedoms, in a climate of generalization, surveillance systems and digital control technologies led by China, but also used by some governments in the West. Chinese behavior is offered as a model for the world, which poses dilemmas for Latin American countries with different alignments vis-à-vis the new power and the traditional alignment with the United States, in an environment that offers the possibility of thinking about a world political regime based on Machiavellian experiences, but without neglecting the political background of an always active and current terrorism and of the strong changes in the geoeconomic environment with the shortening of global value chains in their transcontinental spatiality.
