Introduction (French)

Abstract

This year, 2025, the Mexican Yearbook of Global Affairs (AMAG) publishes its third volume (2024) in the midst of a global political scenario that remains convulsed. The armed confrontation between Russia and Ukraine has not ceased since 2022; the very tense conflict between Israel and Palestine which, instead of improving, has worsened; the humanitarian crisis in Sudan caused by civil war and the intensification of conflict within the Democratic Republic of Congo which are, among others, two scourges afflicting Africa; the passage from complexity to ultra-complexity in the Mexico–United States relationship; the political ups and downs of Europe under the current U.S. leadership; the polarization of U.S. society following the assassination of a conservative activist at a university; episodic geopolitical tensions in the disputed South China Sea; and the slow but visible changes in the world order with the new Cold War between the U.S. and China, compounded by the increasingly relevant variables of artificial intelligence, cyber warfare, and environmental impacts.
