2. China’s Rise on the Global Stage
China is increasingly asserting its influence in international politics with its ambitious Belt and Road initiative.

3. New Diplomacy in the Middle East
Countries in the Middle East, especially Saudi Arabia and Iran, are showing new dynamics in their relations, with the formation of normalization agreements.

The UN has called for international action to provide humanitarian assistance and mediation in the conflict. The participation of large countries in efforts to resolve this conflict is important.
5. Climate Change and International Cooperation
The issue of climate change increasingly dominates the international political agenda. COP conferences, such as COP26 in Glasgow, produce global commitments to reduce carbon emissions. Various countries are competing to innovate in green technology and renewable energy. International cooperation in research and development of clean technologies is critical to achieving climate targets.
6. Tensions on the Korean Peninsula
The situation on the Korean Peninsula remains extremely tense with ballistic missile tests by North Korea.

10. The Role of Social Media in Global Politics
Social media has changed the way information is disseminated at an international level. These platforms are often used for political campaigns and mass mobilization, but they are also sources of disinformation.
