Este artículo examina el análisis del historiador Stephen F. Cohen (1928-2020) sobre lo que llamó la “Nueva Guerra Fría”, es decir, la confrontación entre Estados Unidos y Rusia provocada por la expansión, impulsada por Estados Unidos, de la OTAN a Europa del Este. El marco teórico es la teoría del imperialismo y la metodología consiste en el análisis de fuentes primarias, trabajos académicos y artículos periodísticos. La conclusión es que el análisis de Cohen fue vindicado por el estallido de la guerra actual en Ucrania, pero que su visión “ruso-céntrica” es demasiado estrecha, por lo que su análisis debe ser colocado en el contexto global más grande dentro del cual la guerra en Ucrania tiene lugar: la doble agresión de Estados Unidos contra Rusia y China.

This article reviews the analysis of the historian Stephen F. Cohen (1928-2020) on what he called the “New Cold War”, i.e., the confrontation between the United States and Russia caused by the expansion, promoted by the United States, of NATO to Eastern Europe. The theoretical framework is the theory of imperialism, and the methodology consists in the analysis of primary sources, academic works and journalistic articles. The conclusion is that Cohen's analysis was vindicated by the outbreak of the current war in the Ukraine, but that his “Russo-centric” view is too narrow, and that his analysis must be placed in the larger global context within which the war in Ukraine takes place: US’s two-pronged aggression against both Russia and China.

Este artigo revisa a análise do historiador Stephen F. Cohen (1928-2020) sobre o que chamou de "Nova Guerra Fria": o confronto entre Estados Unidos e Rússia causado pela expansão, promovida pelos Estados Unidos, da OTAN para Europa Oriental. O referencial teórico é a teoria do imperialismo, e a metodologia consiste na análise de fontes primárias, trabalhos acadêmicos e artigos jornalísticos. A conclusão é que a análise de Cohen foi justificada pela eclosão da atual guerra na Ucrânia, mas que sua visão "centrada na Rússia" é muito estreita e que sua análise deve ser colocada no contexto global mais amplo dentro do qual a guerra na Ucrânia acontece: a dupla agressão dos Estados Unidos contra a Rússia ea China.
