This chapter reviews the changes that the International System has experienced in the last three decades, the reconfiguration of the geo-strategic relation and global politics. From global terrorism, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the global financial crisis in 2008, the growing role of global communications to the emergence of substantive changes in political leadership. The author asserts that no State or international actor possesses the capacities or conditions to confront the new global challenges on its own and only cooperation will make it possible to face the challenges and risks that emerge from globalization and interdependence. Hence, it is imperative to develop an educational model that promotes skills, values and behaviours that contribute to peace, justice, sustainable development and solidarity.
