After the end of the Cold War, the world experienced profound transformations in the political, economic, and social spheres, giving rise to a globalized scenario. In this context, nations that were once aligned with opposing ideological blocs found themselves facing new paradigms and challenges, leading to significant reconfigurations in their policies and alliances. Considering the new post-Cold War reality, geographer David Harvey, in his book 'The Condition of Postmodernity,' argues that 'the world has become a place deeply rooted in the global economy, where decisions in one part of the globe can have dramatic effects in another.' Based on this statement and your knowledge: 1) Explain how the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union influenced the political and social organization in the globalized world. 2) Discuss a contemporary example that illustrates the interconnection between the economic decisions of a nation and the effects observed in another part of the globe, highlighting the social and political impacts of this interdependence.
