The processes which are currently unfolding in Latin America are a specific expression of the processes or tendencies which are occuring across the entire “globalised world.” This world is a new configuration in sociological terms, produced by the tendencies which push for a change of “boss” - of colonial/modern/ eurocentric power since the mid 1970s, even if some of these tendencies had been in operation at least a decade beforehand. In short, we are plunged into a crisis of transition from the global colonialism from which today we cannot see an exit, but which moves towards a new configuration of global power or towards a global revolution.
