Entrepreneurship in Latin America: Perspectives for a new world order

Abstract

The unipolar world has disappeared. There is a new, emerging multipolar system that confronts the established values of the last century, which influences the cultural, social, and economic spaces throughout the world. In the latter, changes in the dominant currency, economic blocks and trade agreements, logistics, offshoring versus nearshoring, bank collapses, inflation, and high-interest rates are confronting entrepreneurship all over the world, especially in the Global South. Our article, after a personal reflexivity analysis, is an invitation to open debates on the multiple risks but also opportunities this new geopolitical world order is having for Latin America and how the future might evolve on it and in related areas, in terms of how the many elements of its so-called entrepreneurial ecosystem (entrepreneur, universities, public policies in the micro, maso and macro levels, cultural and institutional obstacles/advantages, gender related themes, social initiatives, and SME s and large/global firms, and the different helixes) are/will face this emerging challenges.
