Resumen:
The fall of the Berlin Wall had mediate and immediate consequences in
time, as well as beyond its geographical proximity in space. Its
collapse gave rise to many expectations. Possibilities of a world
without the conflict generated by the bipolarity of the world arose.
However, these aspirations were soon obliterated by the emergence of a
unipolar, frenzied world that was powerfully self-affirmed in the
wonders of its economic-political and cultural premises. From that
perspective, a new civilizational era was consolidated; however, new and
more radical ideological expressions were consolidated against it in the
Islamic world and, likewise, in the margins of the new capitalist
centrality. Latin America carried out one of its most active expressions
in search of autonomy. For the world, however, the last thirty years
have brought about new and disheartening contradictions: new and more
numerous walls to tear down. A world capable of combining liberty and
equity remains on the horizon.
