Geopolitical analysis: From the 15th century to the 21st-century global stage at Casa del Cord\u00f3n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Ta\u00edno Cultural Center Casa del Cord\u00f3n, under the auspices of Banco Popular Dominicano, was the setting for a profound discussion titled \u201cGeopolitics in the 15th Century and the 21st Century: An Interpretation of the Why of America.\u201d This academic meeting allowed for reflection on how the historical processes that reconfigured the world order five centuries ago maintain a direct connection with the geopolitical tensions and realities that define our present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The panel of experts was composed of lawyer and business consultant Jos\u00e9 Eliseo Alm\u00e1nzar along with diplomat and international affairs analyst Luis Jos\u00e9 Polanco. The moderation was led by Jos\u00e9 Enrique Delmonte, cultural advisor to the center, who guided a historical journey from the changes in Mediterranean trade routes to the current multipolarity of global power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Caribbean as a key piece in global strategy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

During the event, it was highlighted how the discovery of America not only broke the monopoly of European trade routes of the time, but also shifted the economic center of gravity from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic. Specialists emphasized that, just as in the 15th century, the Caribbean is once again positioning itself today as a strategic geographical point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The geographical position of the Caribbean, which in the past served as the gateway to the new continent, is regaining an undeniable relevance today in a global scenario marked by constant transformation.<\/p>\nAnalysts at the Casa del Cord\u00f3n discussion<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Parallels and new realities of power<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The analysis allowed for drawing interesting parallels between the ambitions of yesteryear and current priorities. While in the 15th century control of the oceans was the engine of power, in the 21st century competition has shifted to new spheres:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Control of maritime corridors and global logistics chains.<\/li>
  • Dominance of submarine data cables and information flows.<\/li>
  • Security of energy routes and strategic chokepoints.<\/li>
  • The transition toward a multipolar international system with the rise of the Asia-Pacific region.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Nowadays, the Caribbean is re-emerging as a space of high economic, diplomatic, and energy competition, where the interests of major trade blocs such as the United States, China, and the European Union converge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Commitment to culture and history<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    This activity is part of the agenda of the Ta\u00edno Cultural Center Casa del Cord\u00f3n, an entity committed to the dissemination of heritage and critical thinking. For those interested in delving deeper into these topics, the center invites you to explore its programming through its official digital channels or by visiting its facilities from Tuesday to Sunday, from 9:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
