Filosofía popular y pensamiento crítico en tiempos oscuros

2025-04-03T12:24:05-03:00

Latin America is currently suffering a political-ideological offensive of extreme right forces seeking to impose common sense and an authoritarian and reactionary social conformism. In this essay, we analyze some elements of popular thought and ideology to consider their relationships with political domination and hegemony, linked to the contributions of Antonio Gramsci, which we consider relevant for considering alternatives to current problems.

Gramscian and Trotskist alternatives to Waltz’s IR

2025-04-10T09:05:40-03:00

The theoretical debate of International Relations at the end of the Cold War was influenced by Waltz’s realist theory.

The selection of these authors is due to the fruitfulness of their debate in the contemporary Marxist field.

Marxismo Queer para tensionar as Relações Internacionais

2025-04-10T08:41:36-03:00

How can Queer Marxism strengthen the discipline of International Relations? Why is there no Queer Marxist International Theory?

It then problematizes the family as a pillar of capitalist heteropatriarchy, as well as the imperialist use of human rights in foreign policy rhetoric.

A nova ordem colonial pós-Primeira Guerra Mundial

2025-03-24T19:40:47-03:00

As análises tradicionais em Relações Internacionais sugerem uma convergência entre o liberal-internacionalismo wilsoniano, a Liga das Nações e a autodeterminação dos povos. No entanto, a Liga consolidou novas formas de dominação sob o discurso emancipador. O Sistema de Mandatos reforçou a soberania das potências sobre nações periféricas, enquanto Wilson buscava conter o internacionalismo socialista. O artigo problematiza essa contradição, discutindo como o liberal internacionalismo mascarou práticas opressivas no novo arranjo internacional.

La coherencia regulatoria en las negociaciones internacionales: apuntes sobre infraestructura, estandarización y la reestructuración del Estado

2025-05-25T06:45:42-03:00

The internationalization of capital has driven the homogenization of state regulations on a global scale through the agenda of "regulatory coherence." It is a central theme for capital accumulation as its effect is the acceleration of the circulation of goods, reducing costs, times, and administrative processes. However, regulatory coherence also expresses the inherent uncertainty of the accumulation process. The transformations in the functioning of states show the contradictory nature of this political form.

Cases of “revolving-door” are described, which illustrate the movement of capitalists and politicians in favor of liberalization.
