The international liberal order has long suffered notable contradictions in its central core, due to its own systemic crises, but also to the strong pressures that come from other areas of the world where its alleged virtues have never been fully umed. After the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the block geostrategy that was imposed shortly after the end of the last planetary war, the triumph of the system that claims to unite the market economy (with variants and corrections, in its moment, and now increasingly uniform) and a democracy based on the periodic holding of elections, centripetal political options, solid institutions (so much so that they are usually refractory to reforms) and values anchored in doctrinal liberalism although not always adapted to changes social.
The American political scientist Francis Fukuyama proclaimed the “ end of history ,” understood as the resolution of tensions between exclusive political systems. The West felt it had the capacity to attract to its model of Phone Number Database coexistence both the regions that lived under the domination/tutelage/influence of the ill-fated Soviet Union. As an end result of its dissent from Moscow hegemony, China had already converted to the market following Mao's death. The most optimistic Western strategists predicted that the emergence of democracy there would be a matter of time, despite the abrupt awakening of that “illusion” represented by the Tiananmen episode in 1989. The most optimistic Western strategists predicted that the emergence of democracy in China would be a matter of time In the rest of the South.
of that emerging, poor world (or rather, rich, but impoverished, among other factors by Western domination in successive forms and historical stages), the attraction towards the Western pole, with no other opposing force than could prevent, it seemed inevitable. Even in the vast territories of the once terrible Russia, already devoid of its “val” states, there was a historical turn towards the convergence between capitalism and liberal democracy. THE STORY HAS NOT FINISHED But, thirty years later, it turns out that nothing or almost nothing has happened according to those forecasts. There are quite a few historians, strategists, politicians and journalists of some solidity who are beginning to wonder what has happened. One of them is Martín Wolff , editorial writer for the Finantial Times, unequivocal defender of liberal capitalism and Western democracy.
