From the Diari de les Idees<\/em> we want to close\nthe year 2020 by dedicating our last edition to a monographic that gathers a\nconsciously optimistic look at each and every one of the areas we usually deal\nwith. Indeed, despite the multiple crises we are simultaneously experiencing\nall over the planet – health, economic, social, political and institutional\ncrises – what will remain in history as the year of the coronavirus has also experienced,\ndespite the COVID and sometimes thanks to the COVID, some positive elements or\nat least phenomena have emerged that can be read in a positive light. Without\nclaiming to be exhaustive, we would like to highlight some of the issues that\nwe feel are most relevant by reading the fifty articles that we propose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get out of the inertia of this annus horribilis<\/em> Stephen Walt points out in Foreign\nPolicy<\/em><\/a> some elements that give us some hope\nfor the future. These include the fact that there was no war between the major\npowers this year, no outbreaks of violence or interference by third countries\nin the US elections, the importance to societies of honest people with\nintegrity and the essential role of science in understanding the world and\nmeeting its challenges. Many analyses consider that if, despite the harshness\nof 2020, this year finally ends well, it is thanks to the defeat of President.\nFor many, Trump’s presidency represented a threat to democracy and\nmultilateralism, as well as to most global challenges. His defeat should signal\na change in attitude towards these major global challenges and the expectation\nof a return to multilateral forums such as the Paris climate agreement, the\nWorld Health Organization, and the possible resumption of the nuclear pact with\nIran, as pointed out by the editors of The\nEconomist<\/em><\/a>. Edmund Adam in The Conversation<\/em><\/a> provides another focus to the influence of the Trump presidency and considers\nthe so-called “Abraham Agreement” signed between Israel and two Gulf\nStates – the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain – as the basis for conditions of\npeace and stability in the Middle East. As a corollary to these agreements, we\nshould also mention the collaboration between the Mohammed bin Zayed University\nof the Emirates and the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel for the\ndevelopment and use of Artificial Intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At European level, we would like to highlight the\nEuropean Union’s firm attitude to the veto of the populist governments of\nPoland and Hungary for the approval of the Recovery Plan. The EU’s firmness in\nthe face of Orb\u00e1n’s blackmail is a clear victory for the EU’s principles of\ndemocracy, rule of law and freedoms. As Matthias Quent points out in the\nmonographic issue of IDEES<\/a> on\ncivil rights and freedoms, it seems that one of the side effects of the\npandemic may be a certain retreat from right wing and far-right populism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most relevant aspects of the impact of the\npandemic on the economy has been the change of scale in the response to this\nglobal recession. The mobilisation of resources by almost all countries and\nfinancial and international institutions providing transfers and support to\nindividuals and businesses on a scale not seen before in peacetime is a major\ndevelopment that will need to be followed and assessed in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this regard, we highlight the importance of the\nEuropean Recovery Plan promoted by the European Union, which, together with the\nGreen Deal and the new EU budget, must become the driving force behind an\neconomic revival and move the EU towards the challenges of the digital\ntransition and the fight against climate change. The implementation of all\nthese resources also means a qualitative leap in the process of European\nconstruction and a further step towards the federalisation of the European\nproject. Indeed, we highlight the editorial of the newspaper Le\nMonde<\/em><\/a> which welcomes the withdrawal of the Polish and\nHungarian veto in the economic recovery plan that can be implemented from 2021\nfor an unprecedented total of EUR 1.8 billion. At the same time, at the end of November,\nan agreement<\/a> was\nsigned between the European Parliament and the EU countries in the Council on\nthe next long-term EU budget and NextGenerationEU This agreement will reinforce\nspecific programmes under the long-term budget for the period 2021-2027 for a\ntotal of EUR 15 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also from a European point of view, Raffaela\nBolini and Jean-Marc Roirant underline Pol\u00edtico<\/em><\/a>\nthe crucial role of civil society and volunteers in times of crisis. In this\ncontext of a pandemic, the mobilisation of the third sector to be included in\nthe anti-crisis packages offered to economic agents has been a historic victory\nfor civil society. Actually, the agreement brokered by the European Parliament\nand the German Presidency of the EU has increased the budget of the programme\nto support the third sector from 800 to 1.6 billion euros for the period\n2021-2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the field of Catalan\npolitics, we would like to stress the efforts of the Catalan Governmen<\/a>t for being able to hold the elections with all\nguarantees on 14 February next, despite the threats of the new outbreak of\ncoronavirus. For example, the agreement reached to facilitate the request for\npostal vote by telematic means thanks to the digital certificate idCAT<\/a> as well as other official\ndigital certificates, in addition to those that were already valid until now in\npostal procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the Catalan electoral\ncommission has decided to remove the signature on receipt of the hitherto\nmandatory election documents and to allow the postal officer to collect the\nelection envelope. Therefore, the whole process of exercising the right to vote\ncan be done from home. This means that when the Post Office official hands over\nthe electoral documentation, people can hand over straight their vote to\nhim\/her. This is an option that can be enjoyed by all citizens, including those\nwho are positive for COVID-19 and those considered to be close contacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for Spanish politics, Nacho \u00c1lvarez argues in El Pa\u00eds<\/em><\/a> that the general state budgets approved by the\nParliament are a turning point as they definitively overcome a decade of\nausterity and begin the path of post-COVID economic reconstruction. The new\nbudgets incorporate almost 30 billion euros in new investments that will be\nused to tackle the crisis, boosting reconstruction. Prolonging austerity was no\nlonger an option; it was a dead end at a time when ambitious fiscal stimulus\nplans are needed. In short, these budgets must serve to give impetus to\nreconstruction and bring stability to the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also want to include\nas a good news the unprecedented discredit of the Spanish<\/a> monarchy once the financial corruption of the King Emeritus has\nbeen exposed and everything indicates it could end up splashing the current\nmonarch. The definitive delegitimisation of this anachronistic institution,\nwhich is closely linked to the most radical sectors of Spanish society and the\nconfirmation of the irregularities and systematic corruption of the head of State\ncould give fresh impetus to the Republican forces that aspire to the renewal of\na Spanish policy that is badly needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A better future that\ndepends on the survival of democracy. In a rather eloquent article, the editors\nof The Economist<\/em><\/a> <\/em>value positively the fact that, despite everything,\nliberal democracy has shown strong resilience and contains within itself the seeds\nto overcome some of the dangers it faces. At the same time, democracy still has\na very strong attraction potential that makes people willing to fight to keep\nit or to obtain it. Indeed, every weekend, Belarusians risk their freedom and\ntheir lives by taking to the streets to challenge the dictator, just as the\ncitizens of Hong Kong, the Sudanese, the Thai\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we look at some positive aspect of the economic\nimpact of the COVID-19, Jason Furman in Foreign\nAffairs<\/em><\/a>  underlines\nthe opportunity that these times have brought to rethink the economy,\nglobalisation and the priorities of governments and citizens in terms of a new\ncycle based on the ecological and digital transition to ensure greater\nwell-being for all. In the same vein, the analysts of The Economist<\/em><\/a> point\nto some grounds for optimism after the pandemic’s brutal impact on the world\neconomy and links them to the fact that companies have had to adopt new\nprocesses and new technologies at an accelerated pace that can begin to bear\nfruit. Indeed, a survey<\/a> conducted\nby the World Economic Forum reveals that more than 80% of entrepreneurs intend\nto accelerate plans to digitize and provide greater opportunities for remote\nworking, while 50% plan to accelerate the automation of production tasks,\ndespite doubts about who this automation benefits. Beyond that, boosting\ndistance education or telemedicine could help start a period of growth in trade\nin services and the achievement of economies of scale in sectors that have long\nproved resistant to productivity enhancing measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The health crisis has also brought about many changes\nthat do not appear to be merely temporary but can become structural. The\ntechnologies designed by teleworking adopted during the pandemic have become\nmassively widespread. They open up new opportunities about the present and\nfuture of work and lead to scenarios for more resilient and inclusive\nsocieties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this respect, Carme\nArtigas points out in El Pais<\/em><\/a> the successful adaptation of small and medium sized\nenterprises to teleworking and the flexibility it brings. In relation to these\nchanges, it is worth noting that the digital economy already represents 19% of\nthe GDP and that, if it is taken into account as another production sector, it\nis in second place behind construction, while at European level it is estimated\nthat by the end of 2021 it will represent 40% of the total GDP. Within the same\nfield, it is very positive that, as Mark Scott reveals, a draft of the European\nCommission’s forthcoming Digital Services Act to which the magazine Politico<\/em><\/a> has\nhad access, companies such as Facebook and Amazon could face fines of up to\nbillions of euros if they break new rules aimed at stopping online hate speech\nand the sale of illegal goods. Under proposals to be unveiled soon, Brussels\nwill require major online platforms (those reaching at least 45 million people\nacross the 27-country bloc) to limit the dissemination of illegal material to\ntheir networks, provide regulators and external groups with more access to\ntheir internal data, and appoint independent auditors who will determine\nwhether companies comply with the new rules. It is also worth noting the launch\nof investigations and anti-trust\nregulations<\/a> and monopoly of their respective sectors on the large digital\nplatforms that have seen their profits and power increase during the pandemic<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the area of sustainable development, and as The Economist<\/em><\/a>\npoints out, the coronavirus crisis is a major turning point. Chinese President\nXi Jinping has announced the goal of reducing China’s clean carbon emissions to\nzero by 2060. The new president of the United States, Joe Biden, has declared\nhis intention to return to the Paris agreement, which was adopted five years\nago. Clean energy companies are in vogue in the financial markets. This month,\nTesla will join the S&P 500 stock index as one of its largest members. The\nInternational Energy Agency believes that global coal use will never again\nexceed its pre-COVID peak. Some say the days of fossil fuel energy are numbered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also in the area of energy transition, the use of\nso-called eco-fuels made from alternative raw materials and which have zero or\nlow CO2 emissions has accelerated, which according to Carmen Fern\u00e1ndez in La Vanguardia<\/em><\/a>\nshould make it possible to decarbonise air mobility in the coming decades.\nSimilarly, Deutsche Welle<\/em><\/a> <\/em>points out that the German railways have begun to\ndevelop hydrogen fuel cell trains, which will begin their test phase in 2024\nwith the aim of replacing diesel engines in suburban rail networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In relation to fossil fuels, one of the consequences\nof the locdowns caused by the pandemic is that pollution has decreased, as\nrevealed by the drop in CO2\nemissions figures<\/a> in most cities around the world, which has meant a 7%\ndrop in emissions compared to 2019. The reduction in mobility and the paralysis\nof economic activity or unemployment in the tourism and international transport\nsectors has made us aware of the viability of implementing decisive measures to\nreduce our ecological footprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the locdowns have led to significant\nchanges in large cities, while the introduction of teleworking and the\nreduction of traffic has had a significant impact on urban planning. The\nrecovery of many pedestrian routes, the extension of cycle lanes, the\nacceleration of initiatives in so-called feminist\nurban planning<\/a> in order to rationalising public space and adapting it to\nthe needs of daily life and to healthy uses for society as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, among the many technological advances that\nhave taken place this year, The Economist<\/em><\/a> <\/em>highlights\nthat at the end of November, researchers from DeepMind, an AI  laboratory owned by Alphabet, Google’s parent\ncompany, presented results that suggest they have made enormous progress in one\nof the greatest challenges in biology: how to use a computer to predict the\nshape of a protein from a list of its amino acid components. Replacing months\nof experiments with a few hours of calculation time could shed new light on the\ninner workings of cells. These advances could speed up drug development and, in\nparticular, could suggest treatments for diseases such as Alzheimer’s, in which\ndeformed proteins are believed to play a significant role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exceptional scientific collaboration between\nresearch teams to find a vaccine against the new coronavirus, together with\nmassive public sector involvement in collaboration with the private world, has\nenabled new technology vaccines to be developed in record time, as Robin\nMcKie’s article in The Guardian<\/em><\/a>\nhighlights. The innovative role of RNA in the formulation of coronavirus\nvaccines is reviewed by Nuno Dom\u00ednguez and Artur Galocha in El Pa\u00eds<\/em><\/a>, where they\nstress that two of the most effective vaccines against COVID-19 are based on a\ncompound – RNA – without which life on Earth could not exist. Moderna’s and\nPfizer’s vaccines use a different technique from conventional ones, based on\nattenuated, deactivated or fragmented whole viruses. Messenger RNA vaccines use\nthe body’s cells as bioreactors to produce copies of the coronavirus S protein\nand have them localised by the immune system. These types of vaccines also\ndevelop immunisations against other pathogens such as rabies, Zika or\ncytomegalovirus, a pathogen that can cause deafness, mental retardation and\nother serious problems in a fraction of babies born infected. In short, its\napproval and further development may mean the beginning of a new era of\ntreatments for cancer, rare diseases and universal vaccines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the field of\ncultural values, Isaac Rosa presents in El Diario<\/em><\/a> <\/em>a decidedly optimistic article that claims\noptimism without naivety as a form of resistance, so that it ends up being a\nform of action as well. Thus, he highlights that there are thousands of public\nworkers who, despite all the risks, make a fundamental contribution to society.\nThe health workers are the first, but also the workers in the education system,\nand many other public workers who are supporting administrations that are under\nunprecedented stress. Also those people doing “essential” jobs who\nhave been on the front line of a pandemic for months, usually accompanying the\nrisk of infection with poor working conditions. In addition, so many others\nwho, whether working from home or not, are also filling in the gaps in the midst\nof the economic meltdown. This is complemented by Xandru Fern\u00e1ndez’s praise of\nfrivolity in the CTXT<\/em><\/a> magazine, where he states that there may be powerful\nreasons for postponing our dreams and desires, but there is no reason, either\nhealth or political or of any other kind, to stop expressing our frustration\nand our desire to live. We must also value Pope Francis’ op-ed published in the\nNew York Times<\/em><\/a> <\/em>where he underlines\nempathy and solidarity as antibodies to fight against the corollary of COVID-19,\nwhich is the virus of indifference. He also states that looking at the common\ngood means much more than the sum of what is good for each individual. It means\ntaking into account all citizens and trying to respond effectively to those who\nneed it most. In short, solidarity is more than acts of generosity; it is the\ncall to embrace the reality to which we are linked by bonds of reciprocity. It\nis on this solid foundation that we can build a better, different human future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We would also like to highlight a debate that is\nbecoming increasingly important in terms of animalist awareness and which is\none of the growing trends at a global level. We underline two news we believe\nare not anecdotal. First, the non-inclusion of bullfighting<\/a> as an\nintangible heritage of UNESCO, which has been the result of great pressure from\nmore than a thousand animal defence organisations around the world. And second,\nthe ban by the British government on the transport of live animals to fattening\nor slaughterhouses, making the United Kingdom the first European country to\nadopt this measure, as L\u00e9ah Boukobza points out in Slate<\/em><\/a>,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, it should be\nnoted that despite the enormous impact of the pandemic on the cultural sectors,\nsome data<\/a> show that the effects of lockdowns have also led to an increase in\ninterest in culture and book reading during these months and that they are an\nunmistakable sign of hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To conclude, we would\nlike to stress the idea that if the pandemic we have experienced in 2020 has taught\nus anything, it is that the world can stop moving and that, overnight, we can\nradically change our ways of doing things and with these changes, transform the\nreality around us. Are we quite aware of the radical nature of this? For sure,\nthis fact is perhaps the most positive news of all and being aware of this, we\nmay find the potential for the changes the world needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

May 2020 end in the best\npossible way and may we start much better next 2021!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
