The announcements about the different vaccines in process have been the object of special attention throughout these weeks and are not exempt from doubts about their effectiveness, their storage or the logistics required for mass vaccination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newstatesman.com\/international\/coronavirus\/2020\/11\/why-covid-19-vaccines-offer-cause-hope-and-concern\"><em>The New Statesman<\/em><\/a>, Anjana\nAhuja lowers the initial euphoria about the results announced through the Pfizer\npress release, and points out that their effectiveness has not been proven in a\nscientific article; important aspects such as how long immunity lasts are\ntherefore unknown; nor is their effectiveness in older age groups known. At the\nsame time, there are also logistical problems: the Pfizer vaccine needs very\nlow and cold temperatures to remain stable and it must be transported and used\nunder special conditions. The simultaneous appearance of several vaccines\nreinforces the fact that strategies to defeat COVID-19 are not a national but a\nglobal effort, beyond the reach of any manufacturer. Ultimately, the world\nneeds not just one vaccine but as many as science can create. Donato Paolo\nMancini warns from the pages of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/95c49b5a-f2c7-49a3-9ac5-3e7a66e3ad6b\"><em>Financial Times<\/em><\/a> that\ncontracts related to the purchase of vaccines by governments and international\ninstitutions are kept secret despite the huge public funding that\npharmaceutical laboratories have received. It is therefore essential that,\ngiven the unprecedented levels of public investment in the development of\nvaccines against COVID-19, civil society entities and governments ensure full\ntransparency and closely monitor the procurement and distribution process. From\na critical point of view, Owen Jones highlights&nbsp;in\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/commentisfree\/2020\/nov\/12\/covid-vaccine-patent-pharmaceutical-industry-profits-public-sector\"><em>The Guardian<\/em><\/a> that\nthe hope that a vaccine will soon be available should not lead us to ignore the\nglare of the pharmaceutical industry. Indeed, large laboratories are very often\na protected market for recovering research investment for the medicines they\nproduce. This is even the case with Pfizer&#8217;s experimental vaccine, which uses\nstate-of-the-art protein technology developed by the US government. In other\nwords, without state intervention, this vaccine would probably not have been\ndeveloped so quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the field of international policy, as we approach\nthe end of the year, reflections and prospective analyses for 2021 abound. We\nhighlight the contributions of Zanny Minton Beddoes, editor-in-chief of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.economist.com\/the-world-ahead\/2020\/11\/17\/after-the-crisis-opportunity\"><em>The\nEconomist<\/em><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.economist.com\/the-world-ahead\/2020\/11\/16\/ten-trends-to-watch-in-the-coming-year\">Tom Sandtandage<\/a> in\nthe same newspaper. The first asserts that the coronavirus pandemic has created\nan opportunity for fundamental economic and social readjustment. The COVID-19\nhas not only hit the world economy, but has also changed the course of the\nthree great forces that are shaping the modern world: globalisation has been halted,\nthe digital revolution has accelerated radically, and the geopolitical rivalry\nbetween the USA and China has intensified. At the same time, the pandemic has\nworsened one of today&#8217;s great problems: inequality. And it has also shown the\nprice we have all had to pay for not being prepared for a disaster of this\nmagnitude and impact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the same vein, Tom Strange, editor of the special\nreport <a href=\"https:\/\/www.economist.com\/the-world-in-2021\"><em>The\nWorld in 2021<\/em><\/a>, presents the ten trends to be taken into account for\nthe coming year. We focus on the following five. 1) The fight for vaccines, as\nas they become available in large quantities, the focus will shift to the huge\ntask of distributing them. 2) A mixed economic recovery, as different economies\nwill behave unevenly as local outbreaks and confinements appear and disappear,\nand governments stop giving vital support to businesses. 3) The new global\ndisorder, as after Donald Trump&#8217;s presidency the question is whether Joe Biden\nwill be able to stop the disruption of the global governance system. 4) The\ncoronavirus pandemic has also caused a huge technological acceleration and next\nyear it will become clearer to what extent these changes will be maintained or\nreversed. And 5) An opportunity in the fight against climate change as a window\nof hope is opened by governments&#8217; investment in green recovery plans to create\njobs and reduce carbon emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another form of balance is the extensive interview\npublished in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/ideas\/archive\/2020\/11\/why-obama-fears-for-our-democracy\/617087\/\"><em>The\nAtlantic<\/em><\/a>, where former US President Barack Obama warns that we\ncan never take democracy for granted. It is precisely the most difficult form\nof government, as it requires the constant attention of all citizens, the\naccountability of leaders and critical analysis of public discourse and of what\nis true and what is false. In addition, this is more difficult now than ever.\nObama considers it crucial that ideas and solutions can be discussed to find\nout solutions to the basic problems of our time: climate change, post-COVID\neconomic recovery, the health of liberal democracy, environmental and\ntechnological transitions,&#8230;&nbsp; Continuing\nwith the United States, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.economist.com\/international\/2020\/11\/14\/what-the-world-wants-from-joe-biden\">editorial<\/a> board of <em>The Economist<\/em> reflects,\nfrom various perspectives, about the expectations created by the election of\nJoe Biden to the presidency of the United States. It stresses the importance of\nthe US returning to the fight against climate change at a time when Europe is\npushing for an ambitious ecological agreement, which would undoubtedly help\nconvince other governments to join in the defence of the planet. Another area\nin which the world expects more collaboration from the US is health, as the new\npresident has promised to reverse the US withdrawal from the WHO promoted by\nDonald Trump. Other expectations are that with the new administration the\nUnited States will stop undermining the World Trade Organisation and revitalise\nthe nuclear agreement with Iran. In this new context for multilateral\nrelations, the editorial of the French newspaper <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lemonde.fr\/idees\/article\/2020\/11\/16\/l-accord-rcep-un-premier-defi-pour-joe-biden-face-a-la-chine_6059918_3232.html\"><em>Le\nMonde<\/em><\/a> highlights the signing of the Regional Comprehensive\nEconomic Partnership, the world&#8217;s largest trade agreement involving fifteen\ncountries in Asia and the Pacific, including China. This agreement covers about\na third of the world&#8217;s population and a third of its production, and makes\nAsia&#8217;s free trade area the largest in the world, comparable only to those of\nNorth America or the European Union. This is remarkable for another reason: it\nis the first trade agreement to link the three economic heavyweights in the\nregion, China, Japan and South Korea. The big question about the future of this\nfree trade agreement lies in the role that China will want to play. Will it\nallow ASEAN to remain true to its original motivations, or will it want to take\ncontrol of a trade area which, given its superiority, it will have little\ndifficulty in mastering? In short, this is a first major challenge for the\nfuture Biden administration. Furthermore, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.economist.com\/china\/2020\/11\/19\/joe-bidens-china-policy-will-be-a-mix-of-trumps-and-obamas\"><em>The\nEconomist<\/em><\/a> examines what the new US policy towards China could be\nand points out that at present it appears to be a combination of Trump&#8217;s and\nObama&#8217;s: a combination of trade firmness and caution in handling strategic\naffairs. At the same time, everything seems to show that Biden will persist in\nhis efforts to counter the power of Huawei, the Chinese telecommunications\ngiant that the United States considers a threat to its security, and will\ninsist on the need for the United States to stay ahead of China in the\ntechnological sphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Catalan politics, Josep Ramoneda criticises in <a href=\"https:\/\/cat.elpais.com\/cat\/2020\/11\/20\/opinion\/1605876554_909941.html\"><em>El\nPa\u00eds<\/em><\/a> the management of the second wave of the pandemic by\nthe Government of the Generalitat, which in recent weeks has shown an image of\ndisunity, distrust between parties, personal rivalries, while at the same time\ndiscontent is growing among part of the middle classes that make up the social\nspace of the pro-independence supporters. In his opinion, the root causes of\nthis crisis lie in the impasse reached three years after the failed referendum of\n2017: the repeated call for the October 1 mandate no longer serves to conceal\nthe reality of a health, economic, social, educational and, of course,\npolitical crisis. Speaking of disruptions, we highlight the article of Ignacio\nS\u00e1nchez-Cuenca in <a href=\"file:\/\/\/C:\/Users\/46137955r\/AppData\/Local\/Microsoft\/Windows\/INetCache\/Content.Outlook\/PW4WNI4K\/01114\/49434659024\/impunidad-judicial.html\"><em>La\nVanguardia<\/em><\/a> where he indicates that the actions taken by the\njudges in the Catalan conflict represent a clear case of judicial abuse. Moreover,\nthere is no way to redress this abuse because the judges, exercising the\nindependence guaranteed by the Constitution, know that they are unpunished. We\nare not talking about a specific case, but about a pattern of accusations that\nobey an ideological approach that is alien to justice and that has direct impact\non the political system. Unfortunately, right now representative democracy does\nnot have the institutional resources to confront this problem of judicial\nimpunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the European sphere, the last few weeks have witnessed\nthe declarations of important figures such as the President of the European\nCommission, the French President and the former British Prime Minister Gordon\nBrown. From the pages of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.economist.com\/the-world-ahead\/2020\/11\/17\/ursula-von-der-leyen-on-teamwork-solving-global-problems\"><em>The\nEconomist<\/em><\/a>, Ursula von der Leyen criticises that some countries\nsee the search for a vaccine as a race between global powers, reminiscent of\nthe space race in the 1960s. This is an illusion and she reiterates that\nvaccine nationalism can hinder the global fight against the virus. Von der\nLeyen also stresses that whether in the fight against COVID-19, climate change\nor technological transition, Europe&#8217;s offer to the world is clear: we must join\nforces for the common good. Meanwhile, in a long interview at <a href=\"https:\/\/legrandcontinent.eu\/fr\/2020\/11\/16\/macron\/\"><em>Le Grand\nContinent<\/em><\/a>, Emmanuel Macron reviews the main elements of what it\nconsiders international relations to be. He states that we are at a time when,\nperhaps as never before, we are accumulating multiple crises, from the pandemic\nto the deep and structural transitions that are changing international relations.\nThese changes have even anthropological repercussions, such as climate change\nor the technological transition that is transforming our imagination and\nquestioning our representations of the world. The French President says we must\nwork on two main directions: finding useful forms of international cooperation\nthat will prevent war but at the same time enable us to respond to contemporary\nchallenges; and building a much stronger Europe that can assert its voice, its\nstrength and its principles in the international framework. For his part,\nGordon Brown analyses in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newstatesman.com\/politics\/uk\/2020\/11\/how-save-united-kingdom\"><em>The\nNew Statesman<\/em><\/a> the political situation in the United Kingdom. Burdened\nwith the poor management of COVID-19 and the chaotic Brexit negotiations, he\ndescribes it as completely dysfunctional. The former prime minister says that\nthe COVID-19 crisis and the worst recession in living memory have brought to\nlight fundamental flaws in the very heart of the British constitution. The\nregions&#8217; revolt has shown that the government does not just have a Scottish or\nWelsh problem: it has a British problem. The pandemic has brutally exposed a\ncentre that has control over the country&#8217;s resources but does not know what is\nhappening on the ground and peripheral communities that have much greater local\nknowledge but lack resources. Finally, the blockage of the Commission&#8217;s\neconomic recovery fund due to the intransigent attitude of Poland and Hungary\nis also relevant. The editorial board of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/b205bea8-d809-4ca1-936d-6d2fc512aefa\"><em>Financial Times<\/em><\/a> warns\nthat this crisis is the culmination of a decade in which systematic efforts to\neliminate the checks and balances of the rule of law &#8211; most notably in Hungary\nand Poland &#8211; have been carried out largely with impunity, despite the fact that\nthe European Union has provided these countries with huge funds, amounting by\n2018 to 5% and 3.4% of their GDP respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We therefore are living troubled times in which\nclassical literature, as Arnold Weinstein points out in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreignaffairs.com\/articles\/2020-11-18\/our-plague-year\"><em>Foreign\nAffairs<\/em><\/a> provides a real picture of pandemics and societies&#8217;\nresponses. Many books in the traditional Western canon refer to these themes:\nfrom Sophocles&#8217; <em>Oedipus Rex<\/em> to Boccaccio&#8217;s <em>Decameron<\/em> to Jonathan\nSwift&#8217;s <em>A Journal of the Plague Year<\/em> which are essentially a reflection\non the human capacity for self-knowledge. The literature shows us that mass\ndeath triggers recognisable political responses, including the rapid use of\nparticular individuals or groups as scapegoats. During a viral pandemic, the\nfundamental human act of relating to others can make us sick or even kill us.\nAt a time when words can carry a lethal viral load when spoken at close\nquarters, it is good to retreat to literature as the written form of\nre-encountering civilisation and a more leisurely reflection that puts humanity\ninto perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the occasion of the International\nDay for the Elimination of Violence against Women on 25 November, the Executive\nDirector of UN Women, Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka warns in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eldiario.es\/opinion\/tribuna-abierta\/voluntad-poner-violencia-mujeres_129_6453954.html\"><em>El Diario<\/em><\/a> that violence against women is also a pandemic; a pandemic that precedes\nand will survive that of the coronavirus. It is a shadow pandemic. In addition,\nthis pandemic also needs a global and coordinated response with protocols for\nimplementation as it affects large swathes of the population of all ages. Key\nto the fight against the COVID pandemic was the collaboration between the\nscientific world, governments, civil society and industry. The scale and nature\nof this collaboration, and even greater collaboration, is what is needed to\neradicate violence against women in all sectors and areas of society, and\nespecially in communities, within families and in personal relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A violence that, like all\nviolence, often uses conspiracy theories to justify itself, as Yuval Noah\nHarari analyses in a very interesting article published in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/11\/20\/opinion\/sunday\/global-cabal-conspiracy-theories.html\"><em>The New York Times<\/em><\/a>.\nHarari stresses that understanding the structure of global conspiracy theories\ncan help to understand their appeal and inherent falsity. Realizing that no\nsingle conspiracy can secretly control the entire world is not only right, but\nalso empowering, because it means that we are able to identify different\ncompeting groups and establish alliances with one or another based on interests\nand circumstances. That is what real politics is about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In <a href=\"https:\/\/lamaletadeportbou.com\/articulos\/violencia-sin-victoria\/\"><em>La Maleta de Portbou<\/em><\/a>,\nMarina Garc\u00e9s argues that the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects have brought us\ninto a new phase of globalization: the globalization of health, which follows\nthe globalization of neoliberalism, the armed globalization against terrorism\nand the climate globalization, on the horizon of the environmental crisis. In\nthis succession of globalisations, where each one takes up and amplifies the\nprevious one, the main vector is violence. A violence without victory that responds\nto the state of emergency that has become permanent. We should wonder whether\nwe are in a scenario of pure reaction to the misgovernment and catastrophic\nderegulation of capitalist globalisation, or whether it is a logic of\ngovernance installed in the permanent exception as a form of management of the\ncurrent social, economic and political complexity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Valdis Dombrovskis warns\nin <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lavanguardia.com\/economia\/20201119\/49540776078\/hay-que-ser-especialmente-vigilantes-con-espana.html\"><em>La Vanguardia<\/em><\/a> about the Spanish economic situation and argues that due to its high\ndebt, the Commission will have to be particularly vigilant in crisis response\nmeasures to ensure that these are temporary and targeted. This is particularly\ntrue for Spain, which will have a very high deficit this year of 12.2% that\nwill only be gradually reduced in the coming years. As regards the package of\nmeasures for economic recovery after the pandemic, this instrument must be used\nto strengthen the resilience of the European economy, and to focus on future\nchallenges through the requirements for green and digital transitions. Regarding\nthe impact of the COVID-19 on economy Patrick Foulis points out in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.economist.com\/the-world-ahead\/2020\/11\/17\/covid-19-is-up-ending-capitalism\"><em>The Economist<\/em><\/a> that as a result of the health crisis, companies will face a new\nsituation in which three principles of modern business &#8211; shareholder primacy,\nglobalisation and limited government &#8211; will be constantly changing. Companies\nwill be under pressure to pay less attention to shareholders and more to\nworkers. The stagnation of globalisation means that more multinationals will\nhave to operate as national business federations and will not be able to enjoy\nall the efficiency gains of being run as a single globally integrated\norganisation. Meanwhile in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.monde-diplomatique.fr\/2020\/11\/BOYER\/62392\"><em>Le Monde Diplomatique<\/em><\/a>,\nRobert Boyer argues that the measures taken to counter the pandemic have caused\na threefold crisis: economic, political and civic, and that two major trends\nhave been reinforced: the victory of digital industries and the return of the\nstate as the engine of capitalism. Now the big question is how a functional\neconomic system can be reconstructed from components that are disconnected from\neach other, within a framework where each proposes a normative approach\naccording to their doctrinal or ideological preferences. To facilitate the\nrecovery, taxes on production must be abolished, argue the employers&#8217;\norganisations. For others, it is necessary to re-establish the tax on wealth,\nto institute a transitory, or even permanent, tax on high income, and to move\ntowards greater social justice, according to researchers and left movements.\nOthers suggest &#8220;starting from scratch&#8221;: taking into account the\nthreat of ecological collapse and betting on degrowth, since lockdowns have\nshown that this is not an impossible pipe dream. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An energy transition that\nis also being analysed by Carbon Tracker, a think tank that promotes a secure\nglobal energy market by harmonising capital markets with climate reality. It\nhas just published a <a href=\"https:\/\/carbontracker.org\/shift-to-electric-vehicles-in-emerging-markets-will-end-oil-era\/\">study<\/a>,\nwhich reveals that China and India are already reducing their dependence on oil\nand actively investing in electric vehicles as prices are now close to those of\npetrol and diesel vehicles. China&#8217;s shift to electric vehicles could cut global\noil demand by 70 percent by 2030, and in 10 years, China could save $80 billion\nin oil as these vehicles become more popular, which could spell the end of the\noil era. However, Christian Shepherd and Thomas Hale nuance it in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/d452aef8-9fd7-422a-a034-4558f0e66e53\"><em>Financial\nTimes<\/em><\/a> and warn that China&#8217;s dependence on the coal industry\nto drive its post-pandemic economic recovery threatens to undermine President\nXi Jinping&#8217;s goal of zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2060. Finally, in the\njournal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elsaltodiario.com\/coronavirus\/el-capitaloceno-y-las-pandemias?https:\/\/www.elsaltodiario.com\/coronavirus\/el-capitaloceno-y-las-pandemias?fbclid=IwAR2qg0yOCjYs1s2QuiLpYChVaNy6bRpX1BxpR_rkDRxie0sDWN6e0QarmDs\"><em>El\nSalto<\/em><\/a>, Ant\u00f3n Fern\u00e1ndez Pi\u00f1eiro argues that the health,\nclimate and ecological crises are all intimately linked. The capitalist system,\ntherefore, is finding the limits of its own dynamics as it is based on constant\neconomic growth on a planet with finite resources. A change is therefore\nurgently needed, through the evolution of the economic and financial systems,\nin order to develop a sustainable economy at the global level, which moves away\nfrom the limitations of the current paradigm of economic growth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, as far as technological innovations are\nconcerned, Ivan Williams Jimenez points out in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.socialeurope.eu\/the-transformative-impact-of-tech-firms-technologies\"><em>Social\nEurope<\/em><\/a> that the adoption and integration of digital technologies\nin the workplace has great potential to make humanity safer. If we look at past\nsurges of technological advancement, we can see how they have improved health,\nsafety and working conditions. There is also growing evidence of the benefits\nof AI-driven transformations in the world of work, when applied ethically.\nRobots are being used in environments that are dangerous for workers, and\ntechnological advances have put an end to certain degrading jobs. Automated\nsystems and the Internet of Things can improve safety in the workplace with\nbetter prevention mechanisms, leading to a reduction in injuries as well as an\nincrease in the capacity for human creativity. Robotics and Artificial Intelligence\ncan also relieve repetitive and stressful tasks that cause musculoskeletal\ndisorders or mental illness. Related to this, Nuria Oliver analyses in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lavanguardia.com\/vanguardia-dossier\/20201119\/49521715251\/obstaculos-inteligencia-artificial-europa-mundo-global.html\"><em>La\nVanguardia<\/em><\/a> Europe&#8217;s role in the race for AI hegemony in a context\nwhere the major world powers &#8211; companies and governments &#8211; have understood that\nleadership in AI will involve not only economic, but also political and social\nleadership. Europe is lagging behind and, aware of this situation of weakness\nvis-\u00e0-vis the two giants from the west and the east, has launched a series of\nstrategic actions over the last two years with a view to joining forces,\nseeking synergies and sharing visions so that Europe is capable of attracting,\nretaining and cultivating talent, supporting and encouraging AI research and\ninnovation and promoting the adoption of AI in companies and public\nadministrations in order to improve the quality of life of its citizens.\nFinally, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.economist.com\/briefing\/2020\/11\/19\/democracies-must-team-up-to-take-on-china-in-the-technosphere\"><em>The\nEconomist<\/em><\/a> warns that if democratic countries do not agree on\ncommon rules in the digital field, China could end up setting its own rules in\nlarge parts of the world. The result would be a technosphere designed for the\ncomfort and support of autocracies. In the long term, the world needs more than\nbilateral agreements and a stronger, more specialised form of cooperation. The\ncreation of an institution such as a World Data Organization could be an\ninteresting step in this direction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This new edition of Diari de les idees focuses on the news about the upcoming appearance of vaccines that may represent an exit from the tunnel in which we live since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
