The reconfiguration of the global geopolitical map is a topic of great relevance today due to the transformations taking place in the international arena, which are influencing relations between countries. Several factors are contributing to this reconfiguration. On one hand, there are changes in the global economy, with the rise of emerging countries such as China and India challenging the economic and political hegemony of the United States and Europe. Additionally, there is an increase in geopolitical rivalry between powers, such as the competition between the United States and China for influence in the Asia Pacific and Latin America, as well as tensions between Russia and the European Union in Eastern Europe. In light of this context, several questions arise: What are the main challenges faced by the international community in this reconfiguration of the geopolitical map? What prospects can be glimpsed for the future? What is the role of international organizations in this scenario? The objective of this study is to analyze the challenges and prospects of the reconfiguration of the global geopolitical map. To do so, a documentary review was conducted using specialized databases in international relations and geopolitics. A random sample of important documents that comprehensively address the topic was selected. The findings reveal that the challenges of geopolitical reconfiguration are numerous and include the risk of regional conflicts and the threat of nuclear proliferation. Various perspectives are identified, such as the strengthening of regional alliances and the need to establish new mechanisms of international cooperation. In conclusion, the reconfiguration of the global geopolitical map poses a series of challenges and prospects that must be adequately addressed by the international community. It is crucial to promote cooperation among countries and strengthen international institutions to address the challenges that arise in this new global scenario.
