Abstract
Since 2009, the International Relations Review has contributed to the breadth of international scholarship through a bi-annual publication written and edited by Boston University's undergraduate students. Founded with the intention of promoting dialogue between students, scholars, and policy-makers in an increasingly globalized world, the platform that the IRR creates for emerging scholars is needed now more than ever. The traditional lenses of understanding international relations have shifted in the decade that separates this issue from the first. From anti- government demonstrations and far-right nationalism to the implications of climate change and the global pandemic, the past twelve years have illuminated the extent to which technology and social mobilization have redefined resistance for the generations to come. Despite the unique hardships posed by the global pandemic, the 25th edition preserves the IRR's commitment to illuminating key currents in international affairs that are often neglected by global media. This issue seeks to explore the role of resistance in promoting political reform, thwarting suppression, and accelerating solutions to the world's most pressing crises, whether through the coffeehouses of Egypt or the colonial histories of Latin America.
