This system of thought places the interdependence of the actors in the international system above the classic problems of geopolitics and national interest. It is argued here that this system of thought has introduced us into a “hermeneutic bubble” that has made us lose sight of the fact that these classic factors of the struggle for state power are still more relevant than ever. This position is justified by recourse to the actions of Russia in recent years and the rise of China, in an attempt to demonstrate that in both cases the role of the State has been key and that, due this reason, there is no system of cooperation or forms of interdependence that can undermine the pursuit and performance of the national interest of the great powers when they consider that they must assert it. El objetivo de este artículo es plantear la hipótesis de que, desde el fin de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, se ha ido creando un sistema de pensamiento que se afianzó cada vez más en la medida en que la economía mundial se integraba progresivamente. Este sistema de pensamiento pondera la interdependencia de los actores del sistema internacional por encima de los clásicos problemas geopolíticos y de interés nacional. Se afirma aquí que este sistema de pensamiento nos ha introducido en una “burbuja hermenéutica” que nos hizo perder de vista que esos factores clásicos de la lucha por el poder de los Estados siguen más vigentes que nunca. Se justifica esta posición recurriendo al accionar de Rusia en los últimos años y al surgimiento de China, intentando demostrar que en ambos casos el rol del Estado ha sido clave y que, por esto mismo, no hay sistema de cooperación ni formas de la interdependencia que puedan socavar la prosecución y actuación del interés nacional de las grandes potencias cuando estas consideran que deben hacerlo valer.
