Topics

1. La Gestió dels Recursos Hídrics: Cooperació i conflicte en la governança global de l’aigua.
2. El Dòlar Nord-americà i la Recerca d’una Alternativa Econòmica Comuna: Cap a una nova arquitectura financera internacional?

About the committee

Els BRICS són un grup internacional format per el Brasil, Rússia, l'Índia, la Xina i Sudàfrica, entre d'altres. El principal objectiu dels BRICS és reforçar la cooperació i el desenvolupament dels seus membres, al mateix temps que augmentar el pes del Sud Global. Topics 1. Des de l'estrés hídric sofert per l'alt creixement industrial de la Xina al conflicte entre Egipte i Etiòpia per la sobiranía hídrica del Nil, l'aigua és un recurs estratègic en augment. Podràn els BRICS+ navegar exitosament aquestes aigues mogudes? 2. El Dòlar ha permès als EUA mantenir una influència que ja no es sosté. Ara que s'apropa el crepuscle de l'imperialisme econòmic nord-americà, exposat pel seu replegament diplomàtic, pot ser el moment de liderar una reforma financera més equitativa del sistema internacional.

About the committee

The Debate over NATO Expansion in 2026. As NATO considers new members amid rising global tensions, questions emerge about the balance between collective security and geopolitical provocation. Can expansion strengthen peace, or does it risk reigniting old rivalries? 2. Preventing Escalation in the South Caucasus: The Armenia-Azerbaijan Conflict. The fragile peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan remains a critical test for regional stability. How can NATO engage diplomatically to prevent further escalation without overstepping its mandate in the post-Soviet space?

Topics

1. Addressing Modern Forms of Slavery and Forced Labor in African States
2. The African Union and the Chinese Dragon: Economic growth or economic dependence?

About the committee

The African Union (AU) is an international organisation integrated by 54 African states, the main point of which is to achieve a greater socioeconomic development of the continent through cooperation and integration of its members. 1. Nowadays, the African continent faces around 7 million people facing modern slavery. Slavery in Africa is driven by structural reasons, such as poverty and massive displacement of people, between others. Must be the paper of African states to adress such a blatant insult to the AU principles? 2. Development is deeply interwined with infraestructure and capital investment. All of this can and is provided by China. But, now that Africa is still removing the shackles of Western imperialism, is it worth to be subdued to another foreign sovereign?
