This book covers some of the key global dynamics of our age. Itaspires to assist the non-specialized reader, as well as thespecialized one, to understand the world we live in, the forces thataffect our coexistence, the trends that will shape our future and thepromising avenues for peace and prosperity. Globalization, collectivesecurity, the connection between human rights, development and peacewill be some of the concepts upon which the book aims to shed somelight in a rigorous but a didactic manner. In addition, those complexcases that rarely are explained in the divulgative media, such as thefunctioning of the United Nations and its mechanisms for conflictresolution, Daesh and Al-Qaeda, the Palestinian conflict, the ArabSpring, the wars of Iraq and Afghanistan and the violence in Afrikawill be examined balancing the details with the need to bepedagogical. In brief, this work is an attempt, on the one hand, todescribe and explain the forces and threats that were present andcontributed to the upsurge of coronavirus pandemics, such as climatechange and the exploitation of nature and, on the other, to set somehopeful paths and to inform policies to rearrange our order: if social dynamics are global, global should be our political governance too.Finally, the book approaches, from an innovative and enlighteningmanner, the ins and outs of the Russian aggression to Ukraine.
