The New Trend in International Politics.

Towards a New Paradigm?

By David SandovalPublished 11 months ago 2 min read

In recent years, international politics has undergone profound changes driven by leaders with disruptive styles and unconventional approaches. Figures such as Nayib Bukele in El Salvador, Donald Trump in the United States, Javier Milei in Argentina, and the recent developments in Venezuela under Nicolás Maduro have redefined the global political landscape. This article offers an impartial analysis of these trends and their impact on world politics.

Nayib Bukele and His Governance Model

El Salvador’s President, Nayib Bukele, has captured international attention with his direct style and strategic use of social media. His government has been recognized for its crackdown on organized crime, implementing measures such as the state of emergency that led to the arrest of thousands of gang members. However, he has also faced criticism for alleged human rights restrictions and the weakening of democratic institutions. His bold move to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender has sparked debate, with questions remaining as to whether this decision has provided tangible benefits to the general population despite claims of profitability due to Bitcoin's rising value.

Donald Trump and the Resurgence of Populism in the U.S.

Donald Trump remains a central figure in American politics. With his nationalist rhetoric and "America First" approach, Trump has promoted protectionist policies and a hardline stance on immigration. His presidency was marked by controversial decisions, including withdrawing from international agreements and engaging in a trade war with China. Now, with his return to the presidency in 2025, uncertainty looms over the future of American democracy and the global balance of power.

Javier Milei and Argentina’s Libertarian Revolution

Argentine President Javier Milei has entered politics with a radical economic liberalism agenda. His administration aims to drastically reduce public spending, eliminate state regulations, and dollarize the economy. While his strong stance against the "political elite" has resonated with many citizens, doubts persist about the feasibility of his policies in a country facing economic crisis and high inflation. The international community is closely watching whether his reforms will stabilize Argentina or deepen its instability.

Venezuela and the Chavismo Crisis

In Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro’s leadership faces a critical moment. After years of international sanctions, economic turmoil, and human rights violations, Chavismo is striving to maintain control in an increasingly challenging landscape. Recent negotiations with the opposition and the possibility of elections with greater international oversight had raised hopes for political change, but these expectations seem to have fallen short, casting doubt on their legitimacy. The lack of democratic guarantees remains a major obstacle to a genuine political transition in the country.

Towards a New Political Order?

These leaders embody a new wave of politicians with disruptive styles, each with a distinct approach to power and governance. From populism to radical economic reforms, their decisions are shaping the future of their nations and the world. As international politics continues to evolve, the question remains: will these models establish themselves as the new paradigm, or will they face strong resistance at the polls and within the global community?
