- Inaugural Lesson of the 2023/24 edition of the PhD in International Relations Geopolitics and Geoeconomics
- Presentation of the Book by Mariano Aguirre
Cold War 2.0 presents the complex and dangerous tensions in today's world, especially between great powers and emerging countries, in the context of a global climate crisis, threats to democracy and profound inequalities.
Starting with the war in Ukraine, the fight between the United States and China, the competition for chips essential for advanced technology, and the role of India and Turkey in changing the balance of power in the international system, the book establishes the differences with previous Cold War, describes continuities and identifies trends.
Mariano Aguirre addresses the differences between the first and current Cold Wars; the characteristics and trends of the great powers with nuclear weapons (United States, China and Russia) and the European Union, and their relations; the situation of countries in the South, both states affected by wars, repression and climate change, and intermediate regional powers (some with nuclear weapons); the crisis of democracy and multilateralism, the rise of authoritarian nationalist populism and inequality.
