Mexico And South Africa: States Under Different Power Strains

Mexico and South Africa rarely appear side by side in political analysis, yet they share a central structural feature that goes beyond their historical and regional differences. In both cases, the State exists fully in its institutional form, with elections, constitutions, and administrative structures, but does not fully monopolize the exercise of power in everyday reality.

By Maria Raquel

The 2026 World Cup began with a match that quickly moved beyond the expected structure of an opening fixture. Mexico defeated South Africa 2–0 at the Estadio Azteca, but the scoreline was only one layer of a game defined by three red cards and a fragmented rhythm from start to finish.

From The Gaza Border To The Strait Of Hormuz

By Maria Raquel

Somewhere in rural Brazil, a farmer checks the weather forecast before deciding when to plant. In a European port city, a truck driver calculates fuel costs for the coming week. In a factory in India, a manager studies fertilizer expenses on a spreadsheet. None of them lives in the Middle East. None of them has likely visited Gaza, Tehran or the Strait of Hormuz. Yet their lives have been shaped by events unfolding in those places.

Mongbwalu And A State That Arrives Late

By DonateToRead

The province of Ituri operates under a State of Siege, a measure that transferred civil functions into the hands of military authorities. In practice, this shift reorganized power within the territory without fully replacing local governance. The result is an administration centralized in Kinshasa but deeply detached from the dynamics on the ground. Basic services such as health surveillance and medical diagnosis depend on long chains of decision-making. This model proves inc...

China And India: Two Mirrors Of The Energy Transition

The 2026 presidential election now appears to condense that trajectory into a single number: just 651 votes separate Keiko Fujimori and Roberto Sánchez after more than 98 percent of ballots have been counted.

World Cup Tests Limits Of Globalization

By DonateToRead

The biggest FIFA World Cup in history has not started yet, but some of its most significant challenges are already on display. Within days, three separate developments drew attention: a dispute over ticket allocations for Iranian supporters, a travel restriction that prevented a Somali referee from participating, and growing weather concerns ahead of the North American summer.
