Abstract This paper advances a structural hypothesis on the behavior of declining hegemonies and their impact on the reconfiguration of the contemporary international order. It argues that when a power simultaneously loses productive, technological, and normative primacy, with no short-term prospects of reversal, it tends to abandon the order it created and to actively transform…

(Moscow Bureau) – Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has sharply criticised the near absence of African media presence in the Russian Federation, arguing that this gap undermines the development of a positive and balanced Russia–Africa relationship. Speaking at the plenary session of the Ministerial Conference held in Cairo, Egypt, Lavrov noted the lack of African…

I’m noticing some of my fellow Democrats squealing about Trump’s not going through Congress before kidnapping a democratically elected president (a notion that’s already riddled with contradictions, as if US congressional approval would have been justification to shatter all standards of international law).

The International Peace Bureau (IPB) firmly condemns the US military strikes in Venezuela, and the kidnapping of President Nicolas Maduro and his wife to stand trial in the US. This illegal act of war has already led to the death of civilians and military personnel alike and risks throwing both Venezuela and the wider Latin…

The early hours of January 3, 2026, are marking a dangerous turning point in the International Order. Explosions in Caracas and other regions of Venezuela, accompanied by aircraft overflights and attacks against military and strategic installations, have been denounced by the Venezuelan State as a bombing campaign executed by the United States on its sovereign…

2025 came to a close in an atmosphere of anxiety: attack in preparation against Venezuela, looming danger of world war, threat of global economic collapse, soaring prices and an assault on hard-won freedoms in so-called democratic societies. 2025 is also another year of horror marked by the continuation in Palestine of a genocide announced in…
