Recent developments in international politics demonstrate complex and interrelated dynamics among countries around the world. One of the main issues is tension between the United States and China, which is increasing over various aspects, including trade, technology and geopolitical influence. In recent years, the US has imposed high tariffs on Chinese goods, targeting strategic sectors such as technology, and pushing its allies to tighten ties with Beijing. On the other hand, China is strengthening its presence in the South China Sea, challenging neighboring countries’ territorial claims and fueling global concerns regarding freedom of navigation. In Europe, developments related to Brexit and tensions between European Union member states regarding refugees and migration continue. Britain, after officially leaving the European Union, is now trying to build new bilateral relations, including with countries in Asia and Africa. Meanwhile, the European Union continues to struggle to improve its foreign policy, especially in the face of threats from Russia, which is still actively intervening in Ukraine and other neighboring countries. Sanctions imposed by Western countries against the Kremlin have changed the economic and political map of the region. Meanwhile, in the Middle East, political developments are increasingly complicated by ongoing conflict. Relations between Israel and Arab countries experienced significant changes, especially after the normalization of relations with several countries through the Abraham Accords. However, the situation in Gaza and the West Bank remains tense, with growing discontent from the Palestinian people and sporadic terrorist attacks. Iran also continues to seek to expand its influence in the region, supporting groups opposed to the US and its allies. In Southeast Asia, ASEAN faces challenges in maintaining regional stability, especially regarding the Myanmar crisis after the military coup that shook democratic governments. Crackdowns by the military, as well as resistance by the international community, are leading to increasing numbers of refugees and impacting regional security. On the other hand, collaboration to address issues such as climate change and cybersecurity among member states remains a priority, although political tensions could hinder progress. In Africa, as well as Latin America, political instability remains a central issue. Many countries experienced a coup d’état, while population growth and economic challenges without adequate support created social discontent. In addition, foreign direct investment continues to flow into the region, especially in the natural resources sector, creating new dynamics in local politics and the economy. By monitoring these developments, it is important for countries to adapt and work together to find solutions to overcome global challenges while strengthening their position in an increasingly changing international order. Diplomacy, dialogue and peaceful resolution of conflicts must be a top priority to achieve stability and security throughout the world.
