La insistencia del Partido de los Trabajadores de Corea del Norte en mantener su programa de enriquecimiento de uranio a pesar de las advertencias y sanciones de la comunidad internacional representa un enorme riesgo para la estabilidad de la región asiática oriental y en especial, para Corea del Sur, un aliado tradicional de EE.UU.

Es necesario mencionar que el problema descrito es actual y sigue en proceso de alteración. Sin embargo, para facilitar la comprensión del lector y...

Since Xi Jinping became General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), the Chinese Dream of National Rejuvenation has emerged as the country´s ultimate imperative.This goal stands in stark contrast to the Century of National Humiliation, when China was turned into a semi-colonial entity by way of force and compelled to cede its sovereignty and sign unequal treaties.

Furthermore I will argue Xi has embraced a two-pronged foreign policy approach. On the one hand, China is ...

This article explores and documents the incidence of the use of Twitter in the call for citizen participation by the main institutions and governmental figures of Cuba and Spain, in a period covering the daily life before the COVID-19 pandemic and the first months in which the disease hit the life of both countries. A quantitative methodology is used for the analysis, which will allow to compare the behavior of both governments, in terms of modernization of public authorities and the incentive for the population to get involved in the communication strategies established in social networks.
