En el marco de la globalización actual, se multiplican las variables que es necesario manejar para entender el orden establecido. Por esta razón, el especialista en política internacional Mariano Turzi traza en este libro un mapa para entender el mapa. El camino que propone recorre primero las teorías de análisis y pasea luego por el concepto de Estado-nación, que desarma y vuelve a armar para que podamos asimilar sin dificultad sus componentes. Nos invita a dimensionar el rol de los organismos internacionales, las ONG y compañías multinacionales; pone el foco también en los conflictos, en las religiones, en los fundamentalismos sin, por supuesto, olvidar otro gran ingrediente para saber todo sobre el (des)orden mundial: la tecnología. Para muestra sobra un botón: Facebook es hoy por hoy el país más poblado del globo, con 1590 millones de "habitantes". El poder, sin duda, sigue siendo el objetivo de todos los países en la lucha geopolítica, pero ya no es posible conseguirlo (y mantenerlo) por la vía de un conflicto armado. Comprender el orden mundial, cómo se desequilibra y vuelve a equilibrarse permanentemente se ha convertido en una tarea cada vez más compleja. En Todo lo que necesitás saber sobre el (des)orden mundial, encontrarás herramientas duraderas para aprehender las implicancias de un fenómeno en constante cambio.

This book offers an in-depth analysis of the political economy of soybean production in Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay, by identifying the dominant private and public actors and control mechanisms that have given rise to a corporate-driven, vertically integrated system of regionalized agricultural production in the Southern Cone of South America. The current agricultural boom surrounding soybean production has been aided by aggressive new agro-technologies, including biotechnology, leading to massive organizational changes in the agricultural sector and a significant rise in the power of special interest groups and corporations. Despite having similar initial production conditions, the pattern of economic activity surrounding soybean production in Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay, continues to be largely determined by the needs of the multinational corporations involved, rather than national considerations of comparative advantage. The author uses these findings to argue that the new international model of agricultural production empowers chemical and trading multinational companies over national governments.

The book explores the ways in which Latin American states are capitalizing or failing to capitalize on the initiatives of China in world affairs. The authors hypothesize that a dearth of regional agency and social construction, and a consequent institutional deficit in foreign relations, characterizes Latin America and its inadequate reaction to Chinese agency. The volume includes multiple case studies from eight Latin American countries and discusses the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank’s initiatives and policies. The book will interest scholars, researchers, policy-makers, foreign policy analysts, and graduate students in Latin American and Asian politics as well as development studies and political economy.
