Ignacio Ramonet analyzes convergence of global systemic transformations

Ignacio Ramonet describes a profound historical shift characterized by the simultaneous convergence of several major global ruptures. Rather than a mere succession of individual crises, the current era is defined by the intersection of a transforming international geopolitical system, a changing world economy, a technological revolution, an energy transition, demographic mutations, and the climate and ecological crisis.

This convergence is leading to a more fragmented and multipolar world, replacing the international order established after World War II. The interaction between these simultaneous transformations—including the rise of artificial intelligence and shifting social organization—creates a period of exceptional uncertainty that traditional conceptual tools struggle to interpret.
