Author: Mariano Aguirre.
Cold War 2.0 presents the complex and dangerous tensions in today’s world, especially between great powers, and between emerging countries, in the context of a global climate crisis, threats to democracy and deep inequality. Starting with the war in Ukraine, the struggle between the United States and China, the competition over essential chips for advanced technology and the role of India and Turkey in modifying the balance of power in the international system, the book establishes the differences with the previous Cold War, describes continuities and identifies trends.
The author, Mariano Aguirre, addresses the differences between the first and the current Cold War; the characteristics and trends of the great powers with nuclear weapons (the United States, China and Russia) and the European Union, and their relations; the situation of the countries of the South, both the states affected by wars, repression and climate change, and the intermediate regional powers (some with nuclear weapons); the crisis of democracy and multilateralism, the rise of authoritarian nationalist populism and inequality. The book also contains a critique of the dominant conception of security based on the balance of power and national interest over the common interest and the foreseeable future of the international system.
