title: El Tiempo de los tiempos: reflexiones sobre los desafíos de la sociedad contemporánea
abstract: In this essay, the author reflects about the development of international society that has been created until our days, highlighting how the two world wars of the twentieth century, the Cold War, the fall of the Berlin Wall and finally the Wall Street crisis of 2008 have shaped our contemporary reality. The occurring processes have impacted on the concept of sovereignty as a core element of national states, with implications from the treatment given to human rights to how global markets operate.
