La noticia fue confirmada este miércoles por el vocero presidencial Manuel Adorni. “El presidente instruyó al canciller Gerardo Werthein para retirar a la argentina de la OMS” explicó.

Sobre los motivos de la decisión, explicó que se sustenta en “las profundas diferencias respecto a la gestión sanitaria, especialmente durante la pandemia que, junto al gobierno de Alberto Fernández nos llevaron al encierro más largo de la historia”.

“Los argentinos vamos a permitir que un organimos internacional intervenga en nuestra soberanía y mucho menos en nuestra salud” completó.

Silver lining of globalization: In Thailand, as Bitkub Capital’s ‘Topp’ Jirayut Srupsrisopa noted at the 2025 Annual Meeting, one in seven people already has a cryptocurrency app on their phone. In the Gulf States, real estate tokenization is allowing retail investors to access assets that were previously exclusive. These developments suggest that finance could become more accessible, even as traditional markets become more concentrated.

Good New: The US has suspended tariffs on Mexico for a month, President Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed.

This helps stop Trump's abusive proposals and gives Mexico and other countries more freedom to reach fair agreements.

China responds to US economic hostility with force but reserves the bargaining chip: The Chinese government has responded to the trade war launched by the United States by applying a 10% tariff on imports of products from the Asian country since yesterday. Beijing has announced that from February 10 it will impose taxes of between 10% and 15% on various goods from the United States - such as gas, oil and agricultural machinery - and will impose restrictions on the export of metals essential for the manufacture of electronic products, military equipment and solar panels. It has also opened an investigation into Google for possible monopoly.

Globalization fosters the exchange of ideas, knowledge, and resources worldwide, which enriches education by facilitating access to diverse perspectives and teaching methodologies. Through digital platforms, students and educators can connect with experts from different countries, share materials, and engage in collaborative projects, which not only improves educational quality but also promotes inclusion and cultural diversity. In addition, globalization drives investment in technology and improves educational infrastructure, contributing to the development of skills needed in an increasingly interconnected labor market.

The International Baccalaureate, a model for cultivating a passion for learning: Students enrolled in the International Baccalaureate Diploma must take six core subjects (three at the intermediate level and three at the higher level): their mother tongue; a foreign language; mathematics; a humanities subject; an experimental science subject and one more to choose from among the arts or another additional subject in the humanities, sciences or a second foreign language. They must also take Theory of Knowledge (a subject aimed at critical thinking and inquiry into the process of knowing); carry out 150 hours of community service within the CAS (Creativity, Action and Service) and complete a research paper. Students who obtain the diploma have at least the general part of the EBAU exams validated, although in some communities (such as Madrid) the validation is total.

This type of cooperation between countries shows how they seek to work together to solve shared problems, such as prison management and crime prevention. Sending prisoners to another country can be seen as part of globalization, where borders become more flexible for certain agreements.

In addition to the economic impact, it is seen as a diplomatic and strategic tool, reinforcing the commitment to multilateralism and seeking joint solutions to global challenges. This agreement demonstrates that integration and dialogue can lead to positive economic and social development, although it is also contrasted with the challenges that globalisation can present, such as job losses and the erosion of cultural identities.

2.Globalization and its challenges: loss of jobs and cultural identity in traditional regions

Globalization has facilitated collaboration and partnerships between companies from different countries. People are more motivated to learn the languages of different countries, which helps them expand their knowledge. Globalization gives companies the opportunity to access new markets and customers around the world. Companies can benefit from increased efficiency and competitiveness by taking advantage of the benefits offered by large-scale production.

How to calm the United States to protect the nation's most precious asset. The Panama Canal.

The concessions so far have been several: it gave up a financing agreement with China and will allow US Navy ships to have free passage through the waterway. The next step would be to cancel contracts with Hutchison Ports PPC, the Hong Kong-based company that operates two cargo areas near the canal.

That would simultaneously alleviate Trump's concerns about Chinese influence in the channel.

This brings a bad opinion about globalization because you can see that there is a lack of sovereignty of the least powerful countries compared to the most powerful on an issue that not only concerns Panama but all over the world.

Colombia has been one of the main beneficiaries of USA cooperation through this agency, with investments in security, the fight against drug trafficking and the reconstruction of the social fabric in areas affected by the armed conflict.

China calls for 'win-win' solution to trade tensions

Because we can see an example of International Cooperation where China’s willingness to seek a "win-win" solution highlights the importance of global collaboration in resolving economic conflicts. This approach promotes stability and economic growth, demonstrating how globalization can facilitate agreements that benefit multiple nations.

2. Globalization in retreat

This article from El País, published about three months ago, deals with the debate on deglobalization. Factors such as the rise of protectionism, restrictions on foreign investment and anti-immigration policies are mentioned, which create trade barriers and limit the mobility of goods, capital and people. The discussion focuses on how these changes, driven by populism and nationalism, threaten the benefits of global integration and increase the economic vulnerability of developing countries. The article shows the tension between global integration, which has positive aspects, and the negative effects of a neoliberal model that faces fragmentation and a crisis of hegemony.

For centuries, European imperial powers dominated vast territories across Africa, Asia, and the Americas. While colonial rule officially ended in the 20th century, its economic and political effects continue to shape the modern world. Many former colonies still struggle with economic dependency, weak institutions, and geopolitical instability.

Economic Consequences

During colonial rule, imperial powers extracted natural resources and wealth from their colonies while limiting local industrial development. Even after independence, many former colonies remained dependent on exporting raw materials to richer countries. This imbalance, known as economic dependency, prevents many nations from achieving sustainable development.

For example, in many African countries, the economy is still centered around the export of raw materials like cocoa, oil, and minerals, with little local industry. This means they must import expensive finished goods from wealthier countries, keeping them in a cycle of poverty.

Political and Social Effects

Colonialism also disrupted traditional governance structures, creating political instability. Many former colonies inherited arbitrary borders that ignored ethnic and cultural divisions, leading to internal conflicts. Additionally, systems of racial and social inequality established during imperial rule persisted after independence, affecting education, healthcare, and social mobility.

For instance, in India, British rule prioritized English-language education and administration, leaving behind a system where access to high-quality education is still unequal, favoring English-speaking elites.

Geopolitical Tensions

Imperialism also contributed to modern geopolitical conflicts. Many ongoing disputes over land and resources trace their roots back to colonial-era decisions. The Middle East, for example, was divided by European powers after World War I without considering local religious and ethnic groups. Today, conflicts in the region remain influenced by these historical divisions.

Similarly, some former colonial powers still maintain economic and military influence in their former territories. France, for instance, has intervened militarily in Africa multiple times in the last decades, arguing that it is necessary to maintain stability. However, critics see this as a form of neocolonialism—continued control through economic and military means rather than direct rule.

Looking Forward

Addressing the legacy of imperialism requires international cooperation and local efforts to reduce inequalities. Former colonial powers have been called to acknowledge historical injustices and support policies that promote economic fairness, education, and development. Some countries have even considered financial reparations for past exploitation.

Understanding the connection between imperial history and today’s global inequalities helps us critically analyze economic systems, international relations, and power dynamics in the world.
