About us

The Institute of Geopolitics, Democracy, Governance, and Global Security was established in 2021 as a pioneer institution aimed at promoting a profound study on the worldwide situation amid the drastic changes in the political, social, economic, cultural, and technological dimensions due to the pandemic, by establishing close ties with academic institutions, both domestic and international, NGO’s, governments, public and private institutions, among others, to deeply analyze problems affecting the diverse region in the world and propose viable solutions in accordance with this new reality, which can be called Year 1.

By strengthening these links through a high-quality training and rigorous research, the institute will allow acquiring a better understanding of the global crisis, within the already mentioned dimensions, which have taken on a new approach due to the pandemic, the power struggle of the new world powers to keep their hegemony, endangering global security; global warming climate; drug trafficking; terrorism and the vertiginous technological advancement.

The Institute is founded on the expertise of a wide concentration of scholars, scientists, business and trade leaders, and political figures, who address a variety of disciplines and may contribute with new ideas and solutions to this new scenario. Our researchers at the institute and Miami Business Technological University, together with others from several prestigious academic institutions will assist with their scientific research on issues such as migration, trade integration, international relations, public policies, economics, sustainable development, preservation of the environment, strengthening of democracy and other important geopolitical issues.

Our labor is also enriched by the active participation of political representatives, activists, domestic and foreign government officials, and leaders, strengthening efforts to promote solid democratic systems and adequate leadership in accordance with this new reality requirements.
