The important transformations taking place in the world during the last decade have radically changed our traditional manner to interact. The process of globalization, rapidly consolidating in the world today, enforces the overwhelming need of being constantly updated about changes in different societies, with the purpose of taking the necessary provisions to protect our interests.
We need to be safe and secure.
In the world of today, information is no longer the property of a few. The many advances in communications and the massive use of tools that facilitate access to information have made it practically impossible to maintain closed societies. As a result, the real challenge consists not only in the use but also in the correct analysis we make of that information. We cannot escape reality. Alongside the technological transformation and progressive evolution, drastic and accelerated changes are added not only in fundamental business principles but also in world legal orders; the recent enforcement of new constitutional regimes in various Latin-American countries, is producing - and will continue to cause in years to come - the creation of completely new legal frameworks, which will definitively modify international legal relationships as they are known in present times.
As a result of this phenomenon, it is of fundamental need to count on the necessary tools to face the new realities that will guarantee the success of business ventures, investments, corporate interests, and political and social relationships in general. A cardinal element of those tools is constituted by the appropriate knowledge of the new organizational structure of the State and the basic legal elements on which it counts to control the daily performance in the world of international business and the execution of necessary contractual agreements.
