The hegemony of the G2, that is, the international weight of the binomial formed by the two great powers of today – the United States and China – has vanished before Covid-19, the greatest global threat since World War II. Ian Brenner, international analyst for the Eurasia Group, refers to this geopolitical stage with overtones of world anarchy as the G-Zero.

Neither groups like the G20 and G7 have helped to achieve functional coordination in the face of the pandemic. They depend too much on the leaderships of the United States and the European powers – Germany, France and the United Kingdom. What countries or organizations are filling that gap? Australia and South Korea, among others.
