A Brief Mention about the Russia-Ukraine Conflict By Priscila Palacio Universidad de Buenos Aires Abstract- After the attacks of September 11, 2001, and the global paradigm shift that event produced, the world witnessed a resurgence of interest in geopolitics -especially, in its militaristic aspect, which came hand in hand with a new geoeconomics in the twenty-one century. The rise of China as a world economic power was accompanied by that country's intention to occupy an increasingly predominant international political role. For its part, the economic recovery of Russia, in the first decade of this millennium, revived the country's desire to rebuild the power that the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics once wielded. Both actors, eager to assume a leading international economic and political role, have collided on numerous occasions with the interests of the United States, a country that went from being considered a unipolar power to making explicit the great economic fragilities that have been undermining the foundations of its international power.
