According to the United Nations, 9.6 billion people will inhabit
our planet by 2050. Population growth and movement will have an
enormous impact on global dynamics in the twenty-first century, in
both the developing world as well as in advanced industrialized
societies. In light of this global demographic reality, this issue
of the Georgetown Journal of International Affairs focuses on the
topic of "Destabilizing Demographics," exploring the opportunities
and challenges presented by dynamic population patterns and
structures. Demographic shifts affect multiple facets of
international affairs, impacting economies, modifying politics, and
reshaping the fabric of our societies. These changes could have
catastrophic international consequences if ignored or evaded.
However, as this issue's Forum demonstrates, the future holds
promise for those who choose to reorganize on the cusp of
significant population transformation. Adaptation as a form of
mitigation must be informed by diverse solutions and multi-sectoral
cooperation. Consider, for example, the intersection of family
planning and climate change, or the connection between gender gaps
and crime. Through pragmatic policymaking and international
collaboration, seismic demographic change may not necessitate
disaster. We round out this issue with articles regarding decidedly
twenty-first century concerns: communication, integration, and
globalization. Moha Ennaji describes the challenges of Berber
language incorporation in Morocco and its significance to
democratic reform. Dan Saxon examines the role of human judg-ment
in semi-autonomous weapons use, questioning the ethics of unmanned
machines. Andres Monroy-Hernandez and Luis Daniel Palacios analyze
the utility, efficacy, and implications of citizen journalism
within Mexico's ongoing drug war. And Lawrence Gostin and Alexandra
Phelan explore how, in an increasingly interconnected world, the
international community can collectively prevent and control the
spread of infectious diseases. The Georgetown Journal of
International Affairs is the official publication of the Edmund A.
Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University. Each
issue of the journal provides readers with a diverse array of
timely, peer-reviewed content penned by top policymakers, business
leaders, and academic luminaries. The Journal takes a holistic
approach to international affairs and features a 'Forum' that
offers focused analysis on a specific key issue with each new
edition of the publication, as well as nine regular sections:
Books, Business & Economics, Conflict & Security, Culture
& Society, Law & Ethics, A Look Back, Politics &
Diplomacy, Science & Technology, and View from the Ground.
