Resumen:
The dissolution of the bipolar architecture that prevailed in the
international system from the end of World War II until the 1990s meant,
for many, the possibility of transformation of the domination and
control dynamics implemented all over the world by the two hegemonic
powers. However, the deterioration of the power structures that for four
decades had privileged the interests of the strongest countries and
ignored those of the weakest did not entail the expected real change in
international relations.
Although the end of the capitalism-socialism confrontation would allow
the configuration of new geopolitical maps, along with a more inclusive
international order, the hope that emerged after the fall of the Berlin
Wall has faded over time, since the unjust power relations of that ``old
order'' are still present in the ``New World Order''. Three decades
after the collapse of Cold War, the hope of a more human and fair world
is still a promise for millions of people in every corner of the world.
