The new relations between the U.S. and Europe with the so-called emerging powers and a number of Southern countries marked international relations in 2011. Some of the powers that have dominated the international scene since the end of World War II no longer have the ability to decide on other countries. They may try to influence, as shown by documents released by Wiki leaks, but decisions are increasingly in the hands of local governments, from Iran to Ivory Coast, via Israel, Venezuela, Sri Lanka and Sudan. The reasons for this shift are varied. The economic and financial crisis in the U.S. and Europe, in contrast to the economic success of Brazil, India, China and Turkey, is a factor.

This new capability does not mean that decisions are fair or democratic, but the global order is affected in two ways: it moves from west to east, and less centralized. In 2011 we will see emerging defend its national interests, to gain diplomatic areas, ensuring access to resources (oil, food) to their populations, and act in multilateral organizations for their own benefit. Other governments seek new allies in their support.

In the coming year will be more risky diplomatic actions of some of these countries, such as Brasilia and Ankara have made the Iranian nuclear program. At the same time, Europe will have less international capacity due to economic weakness, the divisions between its states, the loss of legitimacy and the blocking of its members to have a foreign policy and active safety.

In the new year, U.S. President Barack Obama will be weak against the House of Representatives, dominated by Republicans. His attempts to multilateralism and dialogue during the first presidency will be severely affected.

Opposition support and funding be reduced to carry out international actions, the only area in which the president retains some autonomy.

The economy will influence the relationship between China and the United States, one of the largest current tensions. Neither Beijing nor Washington will come to war, but its commercial and financial disputes to affect no global consensus on issues such as environment, international food production and responses to regional or national crisis.

The US-China tensions, the United States, Russia, India, China and India-Pakistan, among others, generate greater insecurity. The war in Afghanistan, for example, requires regional negotiations, but in the absence of diplomacy is more emphasis on counterinsurgency, with uncertain results. More generally, the international diplomatic intervention, including sending peacekeeping forces will be more scarce in crises such as Ivory Coast, Yemen, the possible secession of southern Sudan or Somalia.

The overall trend is to fewer internal wars between states, but maintaining high levels of violence by nonstate actors, such as drug traffickers in Mexico. Or the violence of terrorist groups and criminal organizations, and in some cases linked to governments, as in Kosovo. The lack of consensus on difficult international organizations address this problem multilaterally.

The United Nations will continue to make important decisions constrained. Three factors cause this weakness. First, the creation of new regional organizations that derive from the leaders of the emerging powers, and second, the strengthening of the G-20, third, the Security Council is fragmented between the U.S., the UK and France, on the one hand, and China, Russia and non-permanent members on the other hand, many of them increasingly defend their interests without necessarily seek consensus.

There will be no agreement between Israel and the Palestinian National Authority: another failure for President Obama. Lebanon could again erupt when you know the verdict of the commission of inquiry into the assassination of President Rafiq al Hariri in 2005, while another war between Hezbollah and Israel is not disposable.

Iran is a complex case for Obama. If you keep the current position and does not accept that Iran enrich uranium under the supervision of other countries (like Turkey and Brazil agreed with Tehran), the government of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will not give. For more flexible position that Washington will receive harsh criticism from Republicans and lobbyists. The risk is that Israel decides to attack Iranian nuclear facilities.

Washington could launch the attack, but now is unlikely. A final option is that Iran has medium-term nuclear weapons. If this happens, other countries in the region – from Saudi Arabia to Turkey, remain in their way, would end Israel’s monopoly on such weapons in the Middle East, and establish a regional nuclear deterrence system.

The international system is changing. The lack of consensus is part of a process, perhaps in the medium term there is a progressive return to multilateral ism. But the year 2011 will be a tough position.

China on Tuesday urged European authorities to support his tough words with actions to show that they can contain the growing problems of debt in the euro zone and block out soon to the crisis.

China, which has an undisclosed portion of its 2.65 billion dollars in official reserves into the euro, said he supports the steps taken by European authorities to date to address the debt problems of the region, but said that like to see that measures have more impact.

“We are very concerned about whether the European debt crisis can be controlled,” said China’s Commerce Minister Chen Deming, a business dialogue between Beijing and the European Union.

“We want to see if the EU is capable of controlling the risks of sovereign debt and if consensus can be translated into real action to allow Europe emerge from the financial crisis quickly and in good shape,” he added.

The concerns that Europe’s debt problems from spreading beyond the periphery of the euro zone to swallow large economies like Spain and Italy have weighed on global financial markets this year and have taken its toll on the euro.

In part to protect their investments, China has repeatedly expressed support for the single currency bloc of 27 countries.

In October, Prime Minister Wen Jiabao promised to buy government bonds Greece Greek once returned to the debt markets in a show of support to the country whose huge deficit in the euro area led to the crisis and required an international bailout.

China Vice Premier Wang Qishan said on Tuesday that Beijing has done its part to help alleviate the debt problems of Europe and expressed his hopes that the crisis could be resolved soon.

“China supports the series of measures the EU and the IMF to stabilize financial markets, and China has taken concrete actions to help some European countries to deal with sovereign debt crises,” Wang said at the start of trade talks.

“The EU has taken active steps to deal with the debt crisis and we hope that measures can achieve some results as soon as possible,” he added.

But he noted that risks abound, given the weak global demand and volatility in financial markets are awash with excess liquidity.

For his part, Wang said China would implement a prudent monetary policy to ensure that the second largest economy can keep growing at a rapid pace and sustainable.

MARKET ECONOMY

The annual trade negotiations between China and the European Union is an opportunity for the two large economies seek an agreement on several issues that have raised tensions in recent months.

China is concerned by what he sees as a growing European protectionism and trade tariffs.

Minister Chen said Beijing hopes the European Union to recognize China as a market economy as soon as possible.

China longs for such recognition as would make it less vulnerable to accusations of dumping under the rules of the World Trade Organization.

In other statements, Wang said Beijing expects Europe to lift restrictions on high technology exports to China.

Europe, in turn, urged China to keep their markets open to European companies.

“China brought to European consumers a wide variety of affordable products. This has benefited both. But it is now essential for both economies that China has an open business environment, “said European Commission Vice President, Joaquin Almunia.

ince several months the search engine Google was threatening to his departure from China and definitely took a step further on Monday. The company co-founded by Sergey Brin announced his departure from China as a protest against the censorship imposed by the country and cyberattacks that Google says it received a few months ago.
