What are the main geopolitical characteristics that define our planet at the start of the 21st century after the September 11 attacks? The United States holds a global dominance unmatched by any previous empire. It is the ultimate world power, exerting control like no other since the dawn of humanity. This authority has weakened the United Nations' role, which is no longer focused on resolving disputes, but rather on pursuing solutions through pressure and war. Despite possessing immense military strength known for its technical prowess, this power fails daily in occupying territories and extending control. Another phenomenon in the international arena is globalization, where key players like corporations and media tycoons dream of world domination. In light of this, what are the prospects and tools for 21st-century warfare? Ignacio Ramonet, one of the world's leading intellectuals and editor-in-chief of Le Monde Diplomatique, explores these questions. His books and articles have become essential materials worldwide to resist this new hegemony.
