The purpose of this reflection article was to analyze the new international context and the new scenario with which the international community is facing on the eve of the beginning of the second decade of the 21st century. The International Order has undergone a transformation in recent years generated by a crisis of multilateralism inherited from the post-war period. This crisis of multilateralism has been materialized through a process of de-globalization of the world economy based mainly on neo-protectionist policies that have led to de-regionalization. This is a reflection on the geopolitical situation generated in recent years, where the world is progressively moving towards new scenarios of intercommunication in the world order, towards different geopolitical horizons, in a context of redistribution of supremacies and transformations in economic paradigms. These changes are underpinned by a process of de-globalization of the world economy, the resurgence of protectionism and the de-regionalization of international trade through the renegotiation of trade agreements.
