"The youth is the hope of our future." - Joze Rizal

In the early 2000s Latin America was thriving. Riding high on a commodity boom and the growth of local economies, there was a widespread sense of hope for the future. Now, a period of recession and disillusionment with democracy has threatened these dreams and brought the region to social unrest. Over the years Latin America's indigenous population has faced an uphill battle in the struggle for their rights and identity. President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. made headlines last month for his back-to-back meetings with Xi Jinping and Kamala Harris. The meetings reflected the foreign policy issue most pressing to the Philippines--to whom should the country orient itself towards. For weeks on end, Americans tuning into electoral news have been inundated with polling predictions overwhelmingly favouring the Republicans. Following a tumultuous leadership contest and a short-lived Prime Ministership, Rishi Sunak has emerged as Britain’s newest leader. Cross-strait ties between Taiwan and China have reached a low point in recent years, with both governments making competing claims over the sovereignty as well as the history of the island. With a markedly democratic government in Taipei and an autocratic leadership in Beijing, the standoff is being seen as a fight for liberal democracy in the East. Civil unrest continues to dominate Haiti, with the population experiencing a worsening political vacuum and major humanitarian emergency. Brazil's former leader Luiz Inacio Lula de Silva was elected President of Brazil last month, following one of Latin America's most publicised general elections. Three decades on from the end of the Cold War, political analysts question the relevance of the ‘Non-Alignment Movement’—formed during the superpower competition between the US and the USSR—in the twenty-first century.
