Thanks for reading and for taking time to write.
I apologise but i can't speak or write fluently in Spanish so I'll answer in English but I'm comfortable in reading your Spanish.
What do you mean with "Hispanidad" exactly?
You refer to the number of Hispanics growing in US as citizens? Or if something else, please elaborate. I'm interested in a conversation.
Gracias por tu respuesta, Daniele. Por Hispanidad me refería al conjunto de países de habla hispana, herederos de las estructuras del antiguo imperio español que estuvo vigente desde el siglo XVI hasta el siglo XVIII.
Nadie habla de ello hoy en día, pero la potencia del español y de la hispanidad como estructura social, religiosa y cultural no es algo que se deba pasar por alto. Su fragmentación actual y, por consecuencia, su falta de alineamiento jurídico, militar y económico es lo que la aleja de ser tenida en cuenta como actor relevante en la escena mundial.
Me preguntaba cuál sería tu posición al respecto.
Gracias de antemano, Daniele.

Clear.
First a quick disclaimer.
Most if not all I say on these topics - geopolitics, history, ethnography etc... is what I try my best to extrapolate studying what other analysts research, analyse and write. Nothing to little is original. But nothing comes from newspapers as well 😉
You already answered yourself. The key word here "fragmentation". But is also "remnant" of an Empire. So it's UK, so is France, so is Germany.
To have geopolitical power and influence, something must be a Subject.
In this game, subjects are Nations, which in this era are mostly Nation-States.
Nations is a people that live together in a specific geographic space for a long enough time and manage stay together, build a country, and with time even a civilization in and of itself.
Hispanics are "just" an ethnicity. It would be like saying "why not Germans"?
Because germans do not exist as a Nation. Germanic people are in many places. US first and dominant ethnic group (since almost 100 years) is still germans (will be hispanics in a not so distant future).
Damn, even Germany itself is not a Nation, but 3 different nations coexisting in one large State. That anomaly is a reality because Germany is not a sovereign country, but has been invaded and conquered in 1945 and is now in the availability of the US.
So, if you want "my" take, the hispanic Nation that will become a major global player a few years/decades down the road, is Mexico.
But that's another story and I'll leave it for another day.
