This article examines the state, future configuration and ways of managing the international order, as well as Latin America's place in that order, to understand where it is now and reflect on what it might be like and how it might develop in the future. To do so, we employ the notion of "non-hegemonic order", which has no start date because it stems from a combination of processes of varying duration and effects. We argue that the order taking shape will have two main fault lines: a breach between two opposing and different Norths - North 1 and North 2 - and another breach between the two Norths and a Global South diverse in resources and power configurations, of which Latin America forms part (with its own specificities). We address the singular position of the Latin American region which in a bid to consolidate its autonomy maintains a complex triangular Latin America-United States-China dynamic.

In a world of growing international competition and rivalry between China and the United States, Latin America and the European Union (EU) are caught in the same thorny dilemma. Positioned between these global giants, both regions are facing a retorn to a Westphalian system of nation-states, which undermines their roles as emerging regional players. In view of these new global challenges in Latin America and the EU, this paper uses a qualitative and comparative approach to explore foreign policy discourses on autonomy in both regions. It examines their goals and priorities and assesses the potential regional and interregional consequences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

There has been a change in international politics since the 2008 financial crisis, thanks to a greater spread of economic resources and military capabilities. For many, it is a radical transformation that could spell the end of US hegemony in Latin America. This paper examines the proposition, beginning with a review of the concept of hegemony, which rather than being viewed as a structural characteristic is conceived of here as a "nuanced hegemony", in other words a network of asymmetric and hierarchical relations. We can observe not just one transformation then, but the emergence of a hemispheric context that could be described as "differentiated hegemony". The United States still occupies a central position, but its foreign policy is marked by subregional fragmentation and the externalisation of electoral priorities. The paper explores the effects at subregional level, focusing on the opportunities and challenges it presents to Latin American countries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Considering that the U. S. inflation rate peaked in June 2022, there is no evidence that monetary policy had any significant effect on the direction taken by prices. Yet, like premodern physicians committed to the ancient humoral theory of disease, mainstream economists today have shown that they lack the tools to cure the patient. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article demonstrates that the current rivalry between economic-political power blocs has similarities and differences concerning the period before WW1. That phenomenon is relevant because the last ten years have witnessed a growing rivalry in different orders between East Asia, led by China and Russia, and the West, led by the United States and its allies. The text compares the similarities and differences of these two historical moments in a historical framework, using historical and documentary bibliographic information. The main conclusion is that there is a rivalry for institutionality and future governance, something that was absent in the early nineteenth century, in which liberal theses and territorial imperialism predominated. The constitution of the BRICS+ (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa and the newly incorporated countries) constitutes a challenge in the consolidation of a new multipolar governance, a new phenomenon, and therefore, a geopolitical challenge for the construction of a new global order that replaces a single hegemonic power such as the one that occurred at the end of the WWII.

This article focuses on the subject of commercial maritime traffic between the American ports of the Philadelphia district and those of New England with Spain and Portugal in the last decade of the 18th century and in the first decade of the 19th century. The main documentary base is made up of the entry and exit records of US Custom Houses along with numerous correspondence from US merchants. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Fifty-one years after the publication of the book "To Read Donald Duck," the reasons why, after being censored in Chile in 1973 and banned in the United States in 1975, it was able to be disseminated in more than 20 editions and 15 languages, are analyzed. Under a documentary review of the editions, especially the Spanish, English and French versions that gave it an academic communicational tone and a context of mass colonialism. It was found that it was independent publishers who managed to disseminate the book as a product of current counterculture and a concern of local translators and prologue writers about how Disney penetrated their countries with a strange and dangerous fascination of the middle classes.

The United States and China are locked in a strategic rivalry covering numerous fields, like trade and finance. The most important one, however, is technology. Given how rapidly this rivalry is growing, we can speak of two ever more clearly defined, albeit still interrelated, ecosystems in the areas of semiconductors and artificial intelligence (AI). In turn, global production chains are being reshaped partly on economic grounds, but, without question, for geopolitical reasons too. These changes will not only impact trade flows throughout the world, but also foreign direct investment (FDI), gradually splitting production into two major blocs, based on differing technologies and standards. Where does the European Union (EU) stand in in all this? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Salvador Allende's victory in 1970 was not only a determining event in the Chilean national context, but also had a global echo, transforming the incipient experiment that sought to create a democratic pathway to socialism into an event that captured the attention of militants from all over the world. Within this captive audience, three members of the US New Left, linked to the Yippie movement and disillusioned with the state of their struggles at home, decided to embark on a journey to experience the new Chile firsthand. Our article reconstructs this trip, with the aim of showing the particular interactions that each of the travelers had with the Chilean reality: the characteristics and limits of the Popular Unity project, culture as a constituent element of the project of change and the parallel development of the youth counterculture.

This article follows the issues related to Mexico during Donald J. Trump's first pre-campaign and campaign for the U.S. presidency, showing the situations where they arose and how they were posed, as well as their place in the candidate's electoral and communications strategy. The author presents these elements in the context of the functioning of the U.S. institutionalelectoral framework, the development of agendas, and the handling of domestic matters closely linked to foreign policy. The article contributes to an understanding of the formal and informal rules in a presidential election, as well as Trump's positions in different spheres of bilateral relations.

This article examines how the twenty-first-century semiconductor industry functions and discusses different industrial policy instruments used by the United States and China to move ahead toward a resilient, geographically-close chain in the face of the technological dispute between them, deepened by the 2020 health crisis. The authors consider the role Mexico will play in this reorganization, using the analytical framework of global value chains and recent industrial policy conceptual developments. They conclude that the chain has a predominantly relational governance, high barriers for entry and concentration, and that its high interdependence and specialization generates a collaboration among global companies based in the United States and Asia. The strategic coupling in North America fostered by the United States will deepen Mexico's insertion into this, given the crisis in manufacturing since 2000 and the lack of active industrial policies.

This study analyzes the evolution of a pivotal element of the jurisprudence of the United States Supreme Court: the doctrine of strict scrutiny and its application to racial classifications. Since the 1990s, the Supreme Court has applied the strict scrutiny test to all racial classifications, even those designed to benefit historically disadvantaged groups. According to a critical academic sector, subjecting affirmative actions to the same constitutional standard of review that is applied to traditional forms of discrimination runs counter to the original rationale of the two-tiered review. A doctrine born to provide heightened protection for certain minorities appears to have become an instrument serving the interests of the dominant majority. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article traces the origin and deployment of a set of operational networks that were formed, during World War II, with the explicit aim of cultivating a favourable environment for the United States in the Latin American press. Coordinated by a state agency, the Office of Inter-American Affairs (OIAA) or "Rockefeller Office", these networks served as a link between public and private sectors and, as such, facilitated the mobilization of power resources beyond the realm of the state for the purpose of creating incentives and disincentives aimed at influencing editorial orientation related to issues relevant to US foreign policy. In order to reveal the impacts and also the limits of such a deployment of power, this article focuses on the particular case of the Colombian press, analysing primary sources such as foreign and local press articles, as well as the OIAA archives.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine began on February 24, 2022 and is still ongoing, generating impacts at different levels and with different degrees of intensity both in Europe and in other regions. This crisis cannot be disjointed from the first invasion carried out by Russia in February 2014: rather they are directly related, generating on this occasion a more unpredictable and truly systemic crisis. This article uses a wide range of categories or axioms of contemporary realism, as well as a review of primary and secondary sources, to point out the main security and geopolitical implications, the energy impact, and to discuss the use of economic and financial sanctions as a weapon of war in the old continent, mainly by the United States, the European Union and Russia.

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.

The objective of this article is to analyze the impact of education in an emergency situation, among transnational students who experienced precarious school (re)enrollment before the COVID-19 emergency in Oaxaca, Mexico, and who are members of families separated by deportation. The results were obtained at a critical time of the pandemic in the United States and Mexico (September 2020-March 2021). The study's methodology included interviews conducted on the Meet platform and by cell phone, as well as observations posted to online teaching platforms and WhatsApp groups. The results point to ongoing, worsening educational inequalities and the appearance of new inequalities. They reveal a continuum of educational inequalities that transcend the emergency situation, demonstrating that the educational challenges of transnational students do not respond to a specific crisis but to a structural problem.

In 1970 Salvador Allende became the first ruler considered Marxist to be democratically elected in the Western world. This article analyzes the role of US politics in Chile between 1970 and 1973 aimed at trying to limit the political approach of the Popular Unity. Beyond the operations carried out by the CIA during those years, the documentary material declassified by the State Department sheds new light on US interference in Chilean politics to prevent the construction of the "Chilean road to socialism".

In this paper, we explore the relations of the Bolivian National Revolution (1952-1964) with the Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc (including Cuba) seeking to understand the implications for the structuring of discourses and hegemonic and counter-hegemonic power blocs in the political struggle, and, thus, for the developmentalist approach to planning. Our aim is to shed light on little-studied aspects of the Bolivian National Revolution. Research included revising primary sources (archives of the Bolivian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Bolivian and Unites Stats (us) newspapers, technical and scientific documentation from Bolivian, us, and ussr institutions) as well as secondary sources (Bolivian historiography and opinion essays). On this basis, we discuss how, in the process of developing relations with both hegemonic blocs, the US and the ussr, Bolivia ended up complying with the former at the expenses of the latter. We argue that the reasons for this option are not only political but also economic, particularly, the actual content of the ussr development offers. Our analysis reveals that the relations with the ussr bloc played a key role in the self-determination of historically subaltern actors, and subsequent processes / forms of development planning.

The journalist's professional secrecy in Spain finds its welcome in the 1978 Constitution. In this matter, as in many others, the Spanish situation must be compared with that of countries in our geographical-political environment. Carrying out an analysis of the realities in this matter offers us a common denominator, which is that Spain is not the only country in which the legislative development of professional secrecy is not very explicit. To understand this situation, it is convenient to focus on what the Constitution establishes to assess its content and the limits it offers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this article is to discuss the contribution of autonomy theories to historical analysis in order to identify the different stages that Argentina's relationship with the IMF went through between 1983 and 2007. To carry out this analysis, the prevailing interpretation of autonomy in each stage is used as the organizing criterion, with particular attention paid to "autonomy transitions". These are understood as particular dynamics that are unique to history and may go beyond the mere end and beginning of a presidential term or a change in the political party in power, and may even manifest themselves within the same term.

This text analyzes the impact of China’s emergence on Latin America’s trade relations with the United States. To this end, it examines the foreign trade of the six largest economies in the region: Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, and Peru, in relation to the two powers mentioned above. It is argued that, although the growing trade relations with China may help to mitigate the historical dependence of Latin American countries on the United States economy, in the absence of a development strategy of their own, they tend to deepen a passive profile of international insertion based on the traditional comparative advantages offered by natural resources and/or cheap labor.

This paper is based on an understanding of the global immigration control regime as one of legal violence. It analyses the specialist literature that reveals the existence of an economy of deportability, understood as the unequal distribution of the forms of state power in the lives and freedoms of non-nationals, with gender playing a preponderant role. Taking a gender perspective, a selection of texts from the past two decades are reviewed that analyse the deportation and anti-trafficking apparatus in Europe, the United States and South America. The literature corroborates the existence of a gendered economy of deportability that generates social suffering that, in different ways and to differing degrees, shapes the (im)migrant presence in the national order.
