This edited volume provides a forum for critical debate on the concept of reglobalization from different political science perspectives. Using an innovative multifaceted approach, the volume opens a pluralistic dialogue on the concept of increased international cooperation and its implications for the major challenges facing the global economy.
This book is organized into four parts. Chapters in Part I explore the conceptualization and scope of reglobalization within political science and its subfields. Chapters in Part II approach reglobalization from the perspective of international relations; questioning the rules based international order, regional approaches, and challenges for democratization and security. Chapters in Part III discuss technology, development, and futures issues. The last Part focuses on the human aspect of reglobalization, addressing human rights, climate change, security, migration, and citizenship.
An inclusive gathering of scholars of politics and international relations, this volume will be of use to researchers and students broadly interested in human rights, regional and comparative studies, governance, democracy, gender, political communication, development, geopolitics, security, migration and citizenship, climate security, and planetary politics.

The digital revolution has sparked a new wave of inequality, particularly in access to technology and its benefits. Understanding these disparities is vital for grasping their impact on contemporary society. One manifestation is through artificial intelligence, algorithms, and misinformation. AI-driven systems, used in decision-making like job applications and loan approvals, can exhibit biases due to skewed datasets. Algorithms also spread false information on social media platforms with minimal oversight.
Digital labor and the platform economy exacerbate inequality. While platforms like Uber and Airbnb offer income opportunities, workers lack basic protections like minimum wage laws. Additionally, personal data is often exploited without consent. Cybersafety and cybercrime further highlight digital inequalities. Some have access to robust security measures, while others lack basic knowledge, leaving them vulnerable to exploitation. Economic barriers also hinder participation in gaming and other digital spaces. Big data collection practices can deepen existing disparities, especially regarding socioeconomic status and demographics. Public policies must address these issues to ensure equal access to technology for all.
This book aims to shed light on these disparities and develop solutions for a more equitable technological landscape.

Oscar Pérez de la Fuente will deliver an speech on «direction of political science education and research to promote peace, democracy, and human rights» in the Kim Dae-jung Award Roundtable, whose recipient this year is the scholar T.V. Paul, during the IPSA World Congress, which will be held in Seoul on 14 July 2025.
This roundtable celebrates the recipient of the Kim Dae-Jung Award on the themes of global peace, democracy and human rights. At a time when autocratic governments are on the rise and the erosion of human rights remain a preoccupation, this roundtable will explore how scholars and policy makers reshape, or try to reshape political participation awareness as a tool against autocratization. The roundtable seeks to examine cooperation, promote strategies to safeguard democratic values, and contribute to reversing the damage caused by autocratic governments while helping to rebuild democracies
