Resumen

El sabotaje de los gasoductos Nord Stream en octubre de 2022 ha magnificado la vulnerabilidad y la importancia crítica de la infraestructura submarina. También ha puesto de manifiesto la falta de comprensión sobre cómo funcionan las redes submarinas, cómo se regulan, quién las controla y cómo se protegen. El conflicto en Ucrania ha amplificado las tensiones en este contexto en términos de la creciente amenaza de actividad de guerra híbrida/zona gris. Este artículo analizará el contexto y los organismos que intervienen en la gobernanza de los cables submarinos e identificará las lagunas de esta protección, incidiendo en la actuación de actores cable como la Unión Europea y otras iniciativas en el marco de la Ruta de la Seda China.
