The continuing frictions between the US and China, together with the role of Russia, are the major players on the global stage. On a smaller scale, the European Union and the United Kingdom are igniting a latent conflict in the wake of the vaccine crisis. At the local level, the political moment is marked by the difficulties in forming a government in Catalonia and the growing polarisation of the Spanish political scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We begin by highlighting the article by Suzanne Nossel, which points out in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreignaffairs.com\/articles\/world\/2021-03-18\/world-still-needs-un\"><em>Foreign Affairs<\/em><\/a> the challenges in constructing a system of global governance adapted to the 21st century. The sociologist questions the lines of reconstruction of a new global order, in a context where Russia and China systematically violate human rights, where the rise of extreme right-wing populism is already a reality in liberal democracies, and where multilateralism is more vulnerable than ever. For Nossel, it is necessary to establish new limits, to conceptualise and give visibility to an alternative discourse and to make a policy on development and international security based on respect for human rights. These rights are back on the table now that the trial of Derek Chauvin, the police officer responsible for the death of George Floyd, is opening in Minneapolis. It is worth reading the American sociologist Richard Sennett&#8217;s analysis of this trial in the journal <a href=\"https:\/\/ctxt.es\/es\/20210301\/Politica\/35322\/Richard-Sennett-racismo-ultraderecha-guerra-civil-comunismo-renta-basica-Sebastiaan-Faber.htm\"><em>Contexto<\/em><\/a> and the current landscape of the racist far right in the United States while showing his scepticism about Joe Biden&#8217;s promise of restoring the unity of American society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreignaffairs.com\/articles\/united-states\/2021-03-16\/us-china-rivalry-battle-over-values\"><em>Foreign Affairs<\/em><\/a>, Hal Brands and Zack Cooper carry out an exhaustive analysis of the rivalry between China and the United States, placing at the centre of the debate the importance of ideology and values, in strategic terms. Indeed, both powers focus on promoting their own values beyond their borders in order to increase or stabilise their influence and global hegemony. While China does so from authoritarianism and the US from democracy, this highlights the moral asymmetry derived from the policies of both powers that could be useful for US competitive advantage. The use of the comparative strategy between an authoritarian regime that systematically violates human rights and a country that defends democratic values could be a key point for the achievement of stronger domestic and international coalitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a counterpoint, in <em>Le Grand Continent<\/em>, <a href=\"https:\/\/legrandcontinent.eu\/fr\/2021\/03\/17\/les-nouvelles-routes-de-la-soie-un-nouveau-paysage-pour-cartographier-levolution-de-la-gouvernance-mondiale\/\">Li Bin<\/a> considers that, although the New Silk Roads are often described as a projection of China&#8217;s expansionist will, they should be seen as a new model of multipolar governance. This perspective attempts to present another, explicitly Chinese, vision, inspired by comparative analysis of Negri and Hardt&#8217;s theses on globalisation. Theses of which the New Silk Roads initiative would form part, in order to redefine the international order. Ultimately, the rise of China implies a new approach and the use of alternative conceptual and cognitive frameworks of cooperation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On a positive note, Giovanni Faleg reflects, also in <a href=\"https:\/\/legrandcontinent.eu\/fr\/2021\/03\/14\/le-futur-de-lafrique-libre-echange-paix-et-prosperite\/\"><em>Le Grand Continent<\/em><\/a>, on the future of Africa in the next decade. In this regard, the launch of AfCFTA (African Continental Free Trade Area) on 1 January 2021 is an opportunity to imagine what an integrated and prosperous Africa could look like at the end of the decade and what the way forward is. Indeed, continental integration is a crucial element for Africa&#8217;s economic rehabilitation and resilience. The objective is to create a single continental market for goods and services, with free movement of people and investment. In parallel, in order for the promises of AfCFTA to be realised, free trade must be accompanied by improvements in ten areas essential for the development of integration: environment, digitalisation, conflict, labour, urbanisation, armament, governance, violence, energy and maritime projection. It is now up to the continent&#8217;s political leaders to take responsibility and adopt the necessary reforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In European politics, the United Kingdom remains a focus of attention. On the one hand, the problems posed by the Northern Irish border because of Brexit lead the editorial of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/commentisfree\/2021\/mar\/17\/the-guardian-view-on-the-northern-ireland-protocol-honour-the-treaty\"><em>The Guardian<\/em><\/a> to raise a wake-up call about the possible consequences of not respecting the Brexit agreement. The unilateral decisions of the British executive, especially with regard to the new tariff border established in the Irish Sea, are receiving legal responses from the European Union. It seems that the new context has the potential to generate new tensions in a territory where stability is fragile and the balance between the different actors is key to maintaining social peace. All of this is happening in a multipolar scenario where unilateral electoral decisions can easily blow up the minimum consensus that emerged from the Good Friday Agreement.&nbsp; On the other hand, Alyn Smith and Steward Mcdonald, foreign affairs and defence spokespersons for the Scottish National Party argue in <a href=\"https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/2021\/03\/16\/scotland-independence-european-union-united-kingdom\/\"><em>Foreign Policy<\/em><\/a> the need to consider a new referendum on Scottish independence and point out two important points to bear in mind. On the one hand, the fact that in the 2014 referendum the pro-independence campaigners did not explain the project well enough and failed to convey the necessary reassurance to their voters. On the other hand, the series of promises made by the British government advocating the best of both worlds and continued EU membership have ultimately resulted in more conflict and, finally, Brexit. Ultimately, the cornerstone of Scottish independence has to be membership of the European Union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also at the European level, the problems linked to AstraZeneca&#8217;s vaccine continue to be a drag on European recovery efforts. As noted in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newstatesman.com\/politics\/health\/2021\/03\/leader-europe-s-bad-science-costs-lives\"><em>The New Statesman<\/em><\/a> the precautionary suspension for a few weeks of vaccination with AstraZeneca seems to deal more with politics than science, and while it is true that the precautionary principle is a correct practice, it seems that the consequences in terms of the mistrust generated have been worse. Paul Krugman also analyses the situation in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/03\/18\/opinion\/coronavirus-vaccine-europe.html\"><em>The New York Times<\/em><\/a> and argues that the European failure in its vaccination policy goes far beyond the decisions taken by EU leaders. He consider the problem is systemic and characterised by a lack of consensus, in a demoralised and discontented society, where institutions have been delegitimised and where the rise of extreme right-wing parties stands out, which are leading the EU into a multidimensional crisis. A Europe in permanent crisis that, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.economist.com\/europe\/2021\/03\/11\/why-leave-the-eu-when-you-can-shape-it-instead\"><em>The Economist<\/em><\/a> has led many Eurosceptic parties to abandon their discourse based on a break with the Union, and to attack it with reforms from within, encouraged by the cases of Hungary and Poland, which are using the tools made available to them by the EU to pursue their national interests. Populist parties are thus using the EU as a functional tool for their authoritarian and conservative interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With regard to Catalan and Spanish politics, Josep Ramoneda points out in the newspaper <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ara.cat\/opinio\/imaginari-polaritzacio-josep-ramoneda_129_3903221.html#_=_\"><em>Ara<\/em><\/a><em> <\/em>that in times of confusion, simplification is on the rise: polarisation saves many hours of thinking, because all that is needed is to find an opposition that marks the radical incompatibility with the adversary and repeat it ad infinitum. Thus, in a few hours in Spanish politics we have heard calls for &#8220;socialism or freedom&#8221;, &#8220;freedom or fascism&#8221;, &#8220;communism or freedom&#8221;, as the pieces moved. In Catalonia, too, we have long since been settled in unionism or independentism. If in Spain there is a massive shift from playing politics to playing politics, in Catalonia we are still stuck in the imaginary of polarisation, which seems to be consolidated. We are in a phase of stagnation, without the capacity to move in any direction. We need to ask ourselves, therefore, whether we will be able to break these inertias. Francesc-Marc \u00c1lvaro denounces in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lavanguardia.com\/opinion\/20210318\/6571705\/basta-azana.html\"><em>La Vanguardia<\/em><\/a> that the strabic gaze that has characterised Spanish politics in recent times is not causal, nor is it innocent: it is part of a conceptual framework of meaning according to which the aim is to make the government of socialists and Podemos illegitimate and contrary to the essence of the State. There is thus a radical and destructive attitude on the part of the right, which in Madrid has adopted the ways of Trumpism in order to retain power. Ultimately, the Spanish political elite has not been able to respond to the wound of Francoism and this continues to endanger coexistence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the occasion of the debates and controversies surrounding the trans law presented by the Spanish government, we highlight the new book by the philosopher <a href=\"https:\/\/elpais.com\/babelia\/2021-03-12\/paul-b-preciado-a-veces-se-me-olvida-que-soy-un-hombre.html\">Paul B. Preciado<\/a> <em>Yo soy el monstruo que os habla<\/em> (Anagrama, 2020). He calls there for the deconstruction of any obligatory binarism with respect to gender and sexualities and the suppression of pathologising discourses that oppress people who do not fit into the norm. Preciado also criticises public policies and even some sectors of the feminist movement that continue to reproduce the dualist schemes that overshadow the reality and existence of many people&#8217;s lives. Continuing with the theme of identity, following the controversy over the vetoes imposed on different translators of the young North American poet Amanda Gorman, Kenan Malik considers in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/commentisfree\/2021\/mar\/07\/amanda-gorman-in-segregating-identity-our-human-experience-gets-lost-in-translation\"><em>The Guardian<\/em><\/a> that the controversy echoes many other clashes over the crossing of racial and cultural lines, from allegations of &#8216;cultural appropriation&#8217; to disputes over &#8216;transracial&#8217; adoptions. He charges that in a world divided along identity lines, particular experiences or cultural forms are seen as belonging to particular groups and off-limits to others. \u201cStay in your lane\u201d is the fashionable mantra. In short, identity seen as a means to protect oneself from others, to limit the possibilities of making more universal connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to underpin democracy, Daniel Innerarity calls in <a href=\"https:\/\/elpais.com\/opinion\/2021-03-14\/contra-la-superioridad-moral.html\"><em>El Pa\u00eds<\/em><\/a> for a reduction of the moral burden of political ideas through the recognition that any ideology is not synonymous with truth in absolute terms, but rather is inevitably partial. It is necessary to review the notions of social justice and freedom, since the diversity of uses and conceptions of both concepts in political debates shows the impossibility of defining or delimiting them in a universal way: rather, we are facing a game of perception and interpretation of reality. The consequence of this tendency towards impermeable ideas is that we enter into a debate of moral superiority, a kind of game of egos that hinders our society&#8217;s capacity to improve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the economic domain, seven scholars publish in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.socialeurope.eu\/cancelling-a-debt-we-already-own-has-a-false-allure\"><em>Social Europe<\/em><\/a> a manifesto in which they warn about the trap that lies behind the proposal to cancel the debt held by the European Central Bank with respect to the countries of the Union. Despite being an attractive measure and one that would carry great symbolic weight, they believe that it would be a futile move, since this debt ultimately belongs to the national central banks of each of the countries, and therefore what they would be doing would be cancelling the debt themselves. Thus, not only would the cancellation measure not really help to provide countries with resources for the large public investments that have to be made, but it would also lead to a rise in the risk premium with which the markets would put pressure on the countries. As an alternative to cancelling the debt, they propose raising taxes on large fortunes and large companies that have benefited from the pandemic, and restructuring the regulatory institutions and coordination between the ECB and the national central banks. All with the aim of tackling the major public investments countries will have to make to recover from the crisis caused by the pandemic, and to carry out the green transition of the economy that is becoming more and more urgent. The <a href=\"https:\/\/elpais.com\/opinion\/2021-03-18\/la-perversa-temporalidad-del-mercado-laboral-espanol.html\"><em>El Pais<\/em><\/a><em> <\/em>newspaper&#8217;s editorial also highlights that the labour market, which is one of the great failures of Spanish democracy. Not only because of the endemic scourge of unemployment levels far above the European average, but also because of the high rate of temporary employment. Almost one out of every four employees is temporary, a percentage that leaves Spain in a bad position in the European Union. The situation is even worse if we take into account two factors: on many occasions, this temporary hiring is done irregularly, without complying with the law, and public administrations set a terrible example by resorting to these types of contracts even more than the private sector. The effects of high temporary employment in Spain are many and perverse. It divides the labour market into two very unequal groups: those who have a permanent job and those who are forced for years to string together temporary contracts with the precariousness and instability that this entails. Companies and employees are also much less involved in training for a job, which, after all, has an expiry date. The latter, in turn, is a drag on productivity and, at the end of the chain, on wages. Ultimately, not only are legal changes necessary, but it is also important to change a production model in which, up to now, seasonal activities and the needs of the labour force have carried too much weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The climate emergency is the main challenge facing humankind and is the cause of the COVID-19 health crisis, as researcher Mariana Mazzucato states in <a href=\"https:\/\/newrepublic.com\/article\/161579\/moonshot-mariana-mazzucato-climate-capitalism-crisis\"><em>The New Republic<\/em><\/a>. She proposes a different approach to tackling the three major crises facing humanity (health, economic and climate) and warns that short-term strategies will not be enough; we need to go further and rethink capitalism. Thus, the state needs to be a major player in the design of new long-term economic models, providing tax incentives to companies that meet objectives related to environmental sustainability or that pay better wages and have more social responsibility. A scenario of triple crisis where, as pointed out by Mariano Marzo in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elperiodico.com\/es\/opinion\/20210317\/masa-antropogenica-biomasa-natural-mariano-marzo-articulo-11528267\"><em>El Peri\u00f3dico<\/em><\/a>, the Anthropocene is having a greater impact than ever before, as shown by figures comparing the anthropogenic mass of all that has been produced by humans and the biomass of all that is natural. Thus, a study launched in late 2020 by scientists at the Weizmann Institute of Science warns that, while in the 1990s human-made materials accounted for only 3% of the earth&#8217;s total mass, this year, for the first time in history, human biomass exceeds natural biomass. In the journal <em>Politico<\/em>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/coronavirus-immunity-pass-vaccine-post-pandemic-future\/\">Sarah Wheaton<\/a> invites us on a journey into the future, imagining six possible scenarios in relation to COVID-19, ranging from the most utopian to the most dystopian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, in<a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/europe-artificial-intelligence-blindspot-race-algorithmic-harm\/\"><em> Politico<\/em><\/a> Melissa Heikkil\u00e4 warns of a recent phenomenon related to new technologies that can be a source of multiple rights violations, namely racial discrimination in Artificial Intelligence systems. Recently, the Netherlands was at the centre of a scandal following the false accusation of fraud against 26,000 families who had in common that they belonged in whole or in part to racial minorities. It turns out that the government had used an algorithm that predicted the profile of a person likely to commit benefit fraud. A real example of the risk of AI tools reproducing society&#8217;s racist prejudices, whether based on facial recognition, or by nationality, or even by the origin of names and surnames. It is easy for a technology designed by white people for white people to end up reproducing racist criteria, even if its creators do not want it to. The only solution to this problem is for racial and ethnic minorities to be part of the process of creating, or at least regulating, these technologies. A concern that is also shared by Alexandra Reeve Givens in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/03\/17\/opinion\/ai-employment-bias-nyc.html\"><em>The New York Times<\/em><\/a> where she describes how the Artificial Intelligence mechanisms used by labour recruitment reproduce employment discrimination based on gender, class, race or other reasons that, historically, have been synonymous with inequality and asymmetry in the workplace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this edition of Diari de les idees, which we publish just before the Easter break, we highlight the tensions that have been accelerating in recent times and which are reshaping geopolitics in the midst of the tension for world hegemony.
