Vol. 8 No. 3 (2026): No.3 (julio-septiembre) de 2026

This third issue of 2026 offers an analytical mosaic that, from a diverse geographical and methodological perspective, examines core themes of global governance, contemporary diplomacy, and international relations theory. The section "The World We Live In" dissects key processes in the Global South, from economic diversification in Angola and Ethiopia's integration into the BRICS, to institutional reform in Vietnam and digital government models in Latin America, while also incisively debating the illegitimacy of US hemispheric control and the historical role of the Cuban-American community. Meanwhile, "Cuban Diplomacy" revisits key trajectories—from Che Guevara's tricontinental campaign to cooperation in Africa and tourism integration in the Caribbean—and examines the resilience of cultural diplomacy in the face of hostility from three US administrations, as well as Spanish-Cuban ties from a little-explored cultural perspective. In International Relations, the theoretical reflection questions the relevance of the "Third World" concept, unravels the meanings of multipolarity, and analyzes humanistic exchanges with China, while proposing a renewed notion of civility based on popular political participation and contextualizing Russian foreign policy within the framework of a multipolar order. The Student Scientific Lens and Notes section enrich the dialogue by addressing ALBA-TCP, the distinguished career of Jorge Alberto Bolaños, and the reinvention of the Monroe Doctrine. We invite our readers to explore its pages and foster critical reflection on the reconfiguration of the multipolar order, the challenges of South-South cooperation, and the geopolitical tensions that define our time.
