Mexico and South Africa rarely appear side by side in political analysis, yet they share a central structural feature that goes beyond their historical and regional differences. In both cases, the State exists fully in its institutional form, with elections, constitutions, and administrative structures, but does not fully monopolize the exercise of power in everyday reality.

The province of Ituri operates under a State of Siege, a measure that transferred civil functions into the hands of military authorities. In practice, this shift reorganized power within the territory without fully replacing local governance. The result is an administration centralized in Kinshasa but deeply detached from the dynamics on the ground. Basic services such as health surveillance and medical diagnosis depend on long chains of decision-making. This model proves inc...

When European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen took the stage at the New European Bauhaus Festival in Brussels, the message initially sounded familiar. Sustainability, architecture, more inclusive communities and better cities to live in. In a continent used to framing politics around quality of life, nothing seemed particularly unusual. But beneath the surface, the speech was less about buildings and more about power.

For centuries, humanity has refined its ability to wage war. It learned to move armies across continents, project power across oceans, coordinate operations through satellites, and develop weapons capable of striking targets from great distances. Technology changed, political rhetoric evolved, and the actors themselves came and went. What remained remarkably constant was the belief that some conflicts simply have to be won.

Artificial intelligence is usually presented through chatbots, digital assistants and tools capable of generating text, images and code within seconds. Behind the scenes, however, the most important race may be unfolding far from public view. The real competition increasingly revolves around energy, computing power, advanced chips and the infrastructure required to sustain them.

For much of the past year, Donald Trump governed from a position of unusual political strength. Congress largely followed his agenda, loyalists occupied key positions across government, and opponents struggled to build a coherent response. That landscape is beginning to change.

In Washington, lawmakers are debating the limits of presidential war powers. Across the Middle East, diplomats are working to secure agreements that could ease months of confrontation involving Israel, Iran, Hezbollah and other regional actors. In Gaza, international organizations continue to warn about the erosion of civilian institutions.

For decades, the world's major geopolitical disputes were defined by oil, military power and strategic influence. Today, a different race has moved to the center of government agendas and investor attention. The most valuable strategic resource of the 21st century is no longer buried underground or stored in military stockpiles. It flows through data centers, research laboratories and global semiconductor supply chains.

The most consequential voice at this year's Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore may not have come from Washington, Beijing or the AUKUS alliance. It came from Hanoi. In his first interview with an international media organization since consolidating power as Vietnam's top leader, To Lam delivered a message that stood apart from the increasingly confrontational tone shaping global geopolitics. Vietnam, he said, will not choose between China and the United States.
