Ambushing the Environment: The Russo-Ukrainian War by Tanvi Sharma
The discussion of the environmental impact of Russia’s continuous offence against Ukraine may seem small or purely insignificant in the face of severe abuse of human rights, violation of International Humanitarian Law (IHL), war crimes, the discovery of mass burials, refugee crisis and other extreme transgressions as accused by Ukraine on Russia. Yet, one must not ignore the brewing climate crisis that rains heavily not only on the civilians of Ukraine but also can transcend state boundaries and contribute to the global climate detrimentally, writes Asian Affairs content writer, Tanvi Sharma.?

When The Besieged Becomes The Besieger: How Destroying Gaza Could Backfire And Jeopardize Israel’s Foreign Relations by Beatrice Ala

Argentina, immersed in a delicate economic and social situation, democratically held new presidential elections in 2023. In consequence, the responsibility of the new government requires defining which are the most relevant scenarios and dynamics of international politics and how the country can incorporate itself from them. International relations, as Actis and Creus (2020) state, has “power” as its guiding principle, which means that the relationships that are woven between the actors are asymmetrical. Strengthening a joint Latin American position, truly knowing the capabilities and dynamic comparative advantages of the economic clusters, and embracing them in a comprehensive and intelligent productive policy through State public policies, is a necessary condition for improvement, states Latin American Affairs content writer, Joaquin Gomes Amato, in his latest report .
