This edition of the International Political Review, issue number 2 of 2026 (April-June), examines, from a critical and multidisciplinary perspective, the reconfiguration of the global order through multiple analytical lenses. In the section "The World We Live In," the articles explore the European Union's policy toward Latin America in a context of renewed strategic competition, the ideological features of Italian conservative populism, the hegemonic construction of Cuba's image in the European Parliament, human rights complaints related to the Cuban Medical Brigades before the United Nations, geopolitical rivalry in Central America, transnational participation in the 2022 Brazilian elections, illegal fishing in West Africa, and tensions surrounding the reform of the World Trade Organization. The section "Cuban Diplomacy" analyzes Fidel Castro's thinking on the new global order and economic cooperation between Indonesia and Cuba. In "International Relations," fundamental theoretical debates in international relations are addressed, such as the governance of artificial intelligence, cognitive sovereignty in the face of declining readership, a dialectical approach to international political behavior, the social question in neoliberalism, post-neoliberal regionalism in South America, discourses of fragmentation in Latin American integration, and the energy transition from a legal-normative perspective; thus offering a comprehensive view of the processes of fragmentation, resistance, and reconfiguration that define contemporary international politics. Meanwhile, "Student Scientific Lens" examines the instrumentalization of terrorism in the Middle East, while the "Notes" assess the deterioration of Germany's role in Europe. We express our sincere gratitude to the authors, reviewers, and the academic community for their invaluable contribution to this new issue.
