“This book offers a comprehensive exploration of contemporary global dynamics. Through its three sections—covering the evolving concepts of international order, debates on state roles, and regional perspectives, particularly focusing on Latin America—it provides insightful analyses of key geopolitical shifts and emerging challenges. The book delves into the decline of unipolarity, the rise of BRICS, cybersecurity governance, and the intersection of international sports with diplomacy. Its multidisciplinary approach makes it an essential read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the complexities shaping the modern international system.” – Mohamad Zreik, Postdoctoral Fellow, International and Regional Studies, Sun Yat-sen University, Zhuhai, China

This book delves into the evolving world order within International Relations (IR), highlighting the international system’s ongoing historical and structural crisis. As the “old order” declines and transitions towards a new one, the international system operates abnormally, causing significant turbulence among states, international organizations, and non-state actors, resulting in heightened global tensions. In this regard, this book offers a comprehensive overview of IR in this transitional era, covering the current geopolitical landscape, the state’s role in areas such as cybersecurity or sport, and a detailed and reflective look at the challenges faced by Latin America in the contemporary global scenario.

Aimed at academics, students, and professionals, the book’s multidisciplinary approach makes it accessible to a diverse readership. By presenting stimulating questions and innovative viewpoints, this book encourages readers to challenge their assumptions and consider new perspectives of analysis, emphasizing the need for informed and thoughtful approaches to addressing global challenges effectively.
