Nós no Mundo 2026 — Acción exterior de Galicia  nun sistema internacional inestable

We join the celebration of Galician Letters Day with the report We in the World 25-26: Galicia’s External Action in an Unstable International System.

In a global context of uncertainty, marked by geopolitical fragmentation and growing competition among major powers, the report reflects on the current state and future of Galicia’s external action. For this purpose, in this 17th edition, we invited the participation of entities represented in the Galician Council of External Action and the Paz Andrade Observatory of Lusophony, advisory bodies of the Xunta de Galicia established under Law 10/2021, of 9 March, on External Action and Development Cooperation of Galicia.

Thus, in the Nós No Mundo 25-26 report, institutions such as the Confederation of Employers of Galicia, the Royal Galician Academy, the Universities of A Coruña and Vigo, as well as organisations such as Ponte nas Ondas, AGAL, or Teachers of Portuguese in Galicia, with observer status in UNESCO and the Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLP), take part.

The volume also includes contributions from IGADI associate researchers and two strategic reflections signed by IGADI director Christoph Schreinmoser and founding president and honorary president Xulio Ríos.

IGADI especially thanks all participating individuals and institutions for their collaboration, as well as the ongoing support of the General Secretariat for Language over these 17 years.

You can download the Nós No Mundo 25-26 report via this link, as well as consult the full archive of the report here.

España-China — Asociación estratégica para el conocimiento mutuo

IGADI–China Politics Observatory releases a strategic report to enhance mutual understanding between Spain and China

The publication “Spain–China: Strategic Partnership for Mutual Understanding”, coordinated by Daniel González Palau and Raquel Isamara León de la Rosa, examines how sub-state actors have become increasingly relevant in the bilateral relationship, acting as driving and structural agents. The work also analyzes the impact of the Spain–China Comprehensive Strategic Partnership since 2005, as well as the current Spain–China Action Plan 2025–2028, which aims to elevate bilateral relations after decades of friendship and exponential growth.

The report, featuring leading analysts, provides a broad overview of decentralized cooperation between China and Spain, including case studies from regions such as Catalonia and Navarre. In addition, several articles explore the bridges created by university connections, think tanks, and civil society. Finally, the publication examines the potential of triangular cooperation with the Ibero-American world, incorporating case studies on decentralized cooperation between Mexico and China, and Brazil and China, as well as the role of Macau.

The publication (available in spanish) can be downloaded free of charge via the following link.

As a complement, the project included a special program on IGADI Television on April 23, which can be viewed via this link.

The project “Spain–China: Strategic Partnership for Mutual Understanding” is supported by the 2025 Call for Grants on Spanish Foreign Policy Priorities from the Secretariat of State for Foreign and Global Affairs, under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation of the Government of Spain.

De Don Ramón a Don Plácido

As relacións entre Ramón Otero Pedrayo e Plácido Castro constitúen unha das mostras máis expresivas da fonda cohesión humana e intelectual que caracterizou o galeguismo histórico. Mantida ao longo de varias décadas, sobreviviu ás distancias físicas, ás dificultades políticas e ás circunstancias persoais, conservando sempre un fondo de admiración mutua e de amizade sincera que se manifesta tanto na correspondencia como nas dedicatorias que ambos se intercambiaron.

Ponte nas Ondas: Un modelo como proxección

Desde a Asociación Cultural e Pedagóxica Ponte...nas ondas! vimos desenvolvendo desde hai tres décadas un labor constante de “re-transmisión” do noso patrimonio cultural ás novas xeracións, quer en Galicia como en Portugal. E facémolo tendendo pontes de entendemento a través do patrimonio cultural inmaterial galego-portugués, ese patrimonio que nos conecta con todo o mundo e do que somos o territorio de orixe.

O sinuoso camiño de Ucraína cara á UE: Entre o rigor técnico de Bruxelas, as tensións bélicas e a deriva autocrática de Kíiv

Apartados xeográficos Europe
En xullo de 2026, o proceso de integración de Ucraína na Unión Europea deixou atrás a época das meras declaracións políticas para adentrarse nunha fase de negociacións técnicas profundas e, por forza, complexas. Este avance prodúcese nun escenario sumamente adverso: Ucraína vese obrigada a librar unha guerra pola súa supervivencia, a preservación da súa independencia e a restauración da súa integridade territorial. Paradoxalmente, foi precisamente este anhelo de integración europea un dos detonantes que empuxou á Federación Rusa a lanzar a súa invasión a gran escala en febreiro de 2022.

Fixemos esta entrevista co xornalista Arturo Lezcano uns días antes de que os representantes de dous partidos políticos españois cuestionasen os dereitos dos cidadáns no exterior. Levamos tempo traballando nesta idea de procurar e pensar as novas cidadanías que se abren a partir da obtención da nacionalidade para descendentes de emigrados ou exiliados. Non xa como o proxecto utópico deses que tiveron que marchar da súa terra para seguir soñando e poder sobrevivir, senón como unha realidade chea de posibilidades de futuro en todos os ámbitos.
