La (poli)crisis ecosociocultural global del siglo XXI

This paper builds the concept of the global ecosociocultural (poly)crisis of the 21st century from an analysis of the literature of Social Ecology and Decolonial Studies. From this construction, the global ecosociocultural (poly)crisis of the 21st century is defined in systemic terms as the period of instability suffered by the world socioeconomic system from its origin at the beginning of the century as a consequence of global maldevelopment, characterized by generalized reductions of the welfare of human beings at the global, regional, national, and local levels, across various dimensions: ecological (absence of harmony in relations between human beings and other beings of nature); social (absence of harmony in relations between human beings); and personal (absence of harmony in relations of human beings with themselves). This polycrisis therefore has three differentiated (but interrelated) dimensions: that related to ecological unsustainability; that related to social inequality; and that related to cultural dissociation.
