Abstract

The Pandemic accelerated a set of trends in the contemporary world historical-spatial transition, from which a new moment of said transition was established, manifesting itself as a new situation on the world power map. Central trends include the relative rise of China and Asia Pacific and the relative decline of the United States; growing political-strategic contradictions that fuel wars on multiple fronts and territories; the crisis of the American-Anglo-Saxon hegemony and its evolution in the stage of "world disorder"; a structural economic crisis; transformations in the relations of production articulated to a new technological paradigm. In this paper this new moment of the historical-spatial transition is approached, in relation to the aforementioned trends and in two articulated dimensions: the economic crisis accelerated by the pandemic in relation to the global geoeconomic transformation and, on the other hand, the characteristics of the new geopolitical moment.
