The reconfiguration of global dynamics
In recent years, we have witnessed a radical change in international relations that is manifesting as a return to authoritarianism. Munich’s last security conference has shown new trends: the transatlantic relationship is deteriorating, Europe is harmed, and both Russia and China emerge as revitalized powers.
A World in Movement: From Democracy to Imperialism
The current historical landscape can be compared to a pendulum that swings to authoritarianism. Some experts already indicate that we are dealing with a decrease towards brute force, where the Law’s law is again the rule. Brexit’s victory and Trump’s first election marked the beginning of a national -populist wave that is now amplified by his renewed ambitions.
L’America First com a Model Global
The philosophy of America First has found echo in other authoritarian leaders around the world, including Xi Jinping in China and Modi in India. This approach has become a basic principle in international relations, where the pursuit of national interests predominates on multilateral cooperation.
Trump’s strategic plans: an imperial vision
Trump does not act without a plan. Behind his showman’s facade there is a meticulously elaborate project, which is reflected in his actions after his taking over. Its plan is divided into four key steps that seek to redraw the world order.
Dismantling of the world order
The first stage involves the disarticulation of the existing world order, an idea that Trump has clearly expressed in the manifestation that we have reached the end of an age of democracy and multilaterality.
Division in spheres of influence
The second step seeks to establish new areas of influence, with Marco Rubio, emphasizing the need for a new multipolar order that challenges United States hegemony.
Strategic Resource Control
The third step focuses on securing access to key resources, such as the rare lands of Ukraine, at a time when competition with China becomes more intense.
The last option: The military force
Finally, Trump is committed to military superiority as a last option, although he is presented as a defender of peace. His vision of wars is limited to economic, leaving armed conflicts.
European reactions to the new scenario
Europe’s first reactions have been quick. Shlomo Ben-Ami emphasizes the urgent need that Europe disassociates with its dependence on the United States and begins to act as a true global actor.
Strategic meetings in Europe
Recently, meetings have been held in Paris and London with the participation of Member States and non -members of the EU, to discuss the Returning of the Union. The President of the European Commission, Úrsula von der Leyen, has presented an ambitious plan of 800 billion euros to deal with this new reality.
The need for a European defense
With NATO in an uncertain situation, Europe is facing the need to develop its own defense. Friedrich Merz, a future German Chancellor, has hinted that NATO could be losing its effectiveness, which requires a serious rethinking of European military capabilities.
A long -term defense plan
In order to achieve effective defense, Europe must commit to a plan for five and ten years, focusing on military coordination and the creation of a single defense market. This new was a demand for Europe to act autonomously and determined in an increasingly complex global scenario.
