De la geopolítica de la pandemia a la diplomacia de las vacunas
(Revista del Centro de Estudios Superiores Navales, 2022) Hernández Gutiérrez, José Alfonso
China and the United States, as authentic geostrategic players, have made the phenomenon of the COVID-19 pandemic favorable, they placed their chips on the world chessboard to play a real exercise of power, the control of the pandemic in the Asian country revealed the dependence that the globalized world has on China, by showing the intermittence of various products manufactured in the East, although the raw materials also ceased to circulate for processing. For its part, the Western hegemon set in motion all its machinery to overcome the inadequate initial control of the pandemic, as it actively participated in the development of vaccines, in addition to monopolizing a significant percentage of the vials produced in Europe and in the United States itself. In this context, the Mexican State in its efforts to contain the pandemic and obtain both medical supplies and vaccines for the population has been a hinge State that must act with great caution and diplomacy to balance the pressures that both superpowers may exert to have greater influence and increase their interests in national territory, using the provision of supplies to contain the global pandemic that will affect us for some time.
