RIVAS HERRERA, Patricio. Geopolitics: paradoxes and anomalies. E&c [online]. 2019, vol.2, n.9, pp.69-86. ISSN 2477-9245.  https://doi.org/10.37228/estado_comunes.v2.n9.2019.118.

This article postulates that the contemporary geopolitical field transits by a situation of singular theoretical and methodological deficits, in front of the new world topics of greater originality, such as the impacts of new technologies, climate changes, social movements with public impact, as well as emergent crisis of rationalities inscribed in the more general framework of a wide crisis of civilization in progress. It is about the exhaustion of classical geopolitics, and about the imperative of formulating a more vast and complex geopolitics, which works beyond the conventional themes of the State and the constituted institutions. In times when levels of uncertainty are increasing, and reconfigurations of global power relations are accelerating in all geographical, political and cultural regions, it is essential for geopolitical discipline to take charge of the changes in the power panorama and its factors in this 21st century.

Keywords : Geopolitics; biopower; biopolitics; crisis; uncertainty; world order..
