Carlos Mora Vanegas man will not be wise until you resolve all kinds of conflicts with weapons of the mind, not physical ones. Werner Braun interesting once again on the international stage, is the current conflict that the greatest of all has emerged among the Central American countries Nicaragua and Costa Rica, which has no army, all for sovereignty of lands, which are presumed to be were defined, that for years is has been fanning in international organizations in order to make clear the sovereignty of them. Currently the problem again arise because two weeks ago, the Government of President Laura Chinchilla denounced that Nicaraguan troops had entered its territory in the area of the border river San Juan. But Managua immediately denied the accusation and says that it only performs dredging of a river that belongs and Costa Rica knows that this is true. San Jose decided to send heavily armed elite police to the area in which the Nicaraguan troops are found.

Then Managua It strengthened its military presence with more troops, arguing operating against drug trafficking as relates it very well slices of reality, the Government of Costa Rica has asked the OAS to convene a meeting of Foreign Ministers to try to resolve the border dispute with Nicaragua. The mediation of the body is something that irritates Managua, to disqualify him for his political stance. In fact, Ortega threatened directly to withdraw his country from the OAS. It was last Friday that the Permanent Council of that body adopted a resolution that calls upon both countries away soldiers and border policemen and soon begin a bilateral dialogue. Since then, interestingly, given to the mechanism used by Costa Rica to seek solution in an organism that is not suitable for these disputes, agency that will not provide you answer effective one to fund problem, simply, as it has shown will be an intermediary seeking to justify their involvement as mediator, inviting the two Governments to reach an agreement based on dialogues, and prevent the conflict from worsening, leaving both Governments to resolve it and that giving the OAS in the eyes of the world, in countries that integrate it when prompted for your collaboration, seeking solutions in this way.

Geopolitics, geography branch, has evolved from its original conception that determined the decisive influence of the environment in the politics of a nation (geographic features, economic resources, social and cultural forces), until the deterministic conception of the study of the physical environment in the conditioning of human activities or his vision as a policy through space as geopoder understood as historical development of geographical knowledge linked with the power of the State and needs of Governing or as a simple specialty of power that transgresses the international borders, being the example more clear this so-called determination of living space (the entire territory that a country needs to achieve self-reliance and that was prevailing conception in nazi Germany). Today we are faced with a situation that attacks the very foundations of the conception of geopolitics. Crisis of the nation-State, shy hint of supranational competences in the construction of inland areas, accelerated globalization. The space is already becoming increasingly less determined by borders, trade takes precedence over the war, the distribution of the territory is supplanted by the distribution of the time. Possibly the concept of ecopolitica that replaces the old geopolitical conception. As they have leaned numerous authors it could be argued that the space no longer exists, has become a simple function of speed.

He could also speak of geoeconomics, that would be the analysis of the internal economic security concerns. Not you can, obviously, continue considering territorial space as the source of geopolitical power. Now we talk about electronic currents, virtuality, a geography which is a stream of digital images. But as we always insist, we are in a world in transition and what has been termed geostrategy, as a branch of geopolitics, it is necessary to follow considering it. Yet he cannot ignore, in this world again concept of war, overcoming of borders, the analysis of military matters relating to geographical factors, but it is necessary to go beyond, look at the hotspots on the planet and consider the geostrategy as any rational organization of actions to an end with the least possible effort and the lowest risk.
