The impact of female leadership with a Latin American accent at the United Nations

Susana Malcorra
In 2026, the UN has the historic opportunity to elect a woman as Secretary General for the first time, breaking 80 years of exclusion. Latin America has qualified leaders who can bring legitimacy, equality and transformative leadership.

Dominion theology and the culture wars in Brazilian politics

Helcimara Telles  |   Horrana Grieg Oliveira   |   Vinicius Baptista Lopes
Dominion Theology is pushing a politico-religious offensive in Brazil: occupying institutions, imposing biblical morality and waging "culture wars" against LGBTQIA+ rights, abortion and gender-sensitive education. With Bolsonaro and figures like Nikolas Ferreira, conservative Pentecostalism is gaining power, stressing the Judiciary and eroding secularism and democracy.

Sebastián Godínez Rivera
As democracy erodes, charismatic leaders take advantage of social unrest to consolidate a hybrid model: authoritarian capitalism with a populist face. From Trump to Bukele, passing through Milei and Noboa, a generation emerges that embodies an era where economic stability outweighs democratic values.
