Since its foundation, the university has always been a relevant actor within the international system as the main producer and transmitter of scientific knowledge. Considered as a global actor and historically interrelated with multiple agents at the national and international level, the university must now face new and powerful challenges within the international context. Since the last decades of the 20th Century, the world has entered a vertiginous path of transformation, driven by multiple and profound global processes that have generated significant changes in all the parameters of the international system and have prompted the creation of a new international system. The research problem that arises in this work focuses on studying whether this new international stage will mean an opportunity for the university as an international actor to assume new roles on a global scale or if, on the contrary, whether threats and pressures will erode its global position. The main objective of the present investigation is to analyze the role of the university within the changing world order of the 21st Century and for this purpose it is proposed to know the main changes that operate in the current international system, to decipher how these new global trends affect the university and, understand how the university is reacting to these systemic changes. To achieve these objectives, an extensive literature review has been carried out within the fields of International Studies, Education Sciences, and other Social Sciences. Finally, it is expected to obtain as a result some concrete answers about the context, the impact and the reactions of the university to the modified international system to contribute to a much broader, complex and necessary debate regarding the future of the university as a global actor in the new international system of the 21st Century.Received: 27 September 2018Accepted: 12 November 2018Published online: 29 November 2018Date

A Review of International Legal Instruments : Facilitation of Transport and Trade in Africa, Second Editionde Matons, Jean Grosdidier (World Bank, Washington, DC, 2014-03-01)This is the second edition of the 2003
 paper entitled "Facilitation of transport and trade in
 Sub-Saharan Africa : a review of international legal
 instruments - Treaties, conventions, protocols, decisions,
 directives." Three major reasons motivated this update
 and an expansion of its scope. First, African countries are
 increasingly cooperating, especially in the area of
 corridors, to achieve full connectivity, mobility and
 accessibility. To that end, they are concluding new
 agreements and conventions. Second, this new edition has
 been extended to the whole of the African continent,
 including the Maghreb, which was not in the previous
 inventory. Third, air transport and associated agreements
 and conventions were added at the request of countries.
 Indeed, the future of air transport in Africa is bright. It
 is likely that it becomes an affordable mode of transport to
 reach remote areas.

Reshaping the International Monetary Architecture : Lessons from Keynes’ PlanPiffaretti, Nadia F. (2012-03-19)As the global economy undergoes profound
 changes, it is becoming apparent that the so-called
 "Revived Bretton Woods System" has increased the
 overall vulnerability of the global financial architecture.
 Therefore, it is worth revisiting the origins of the Bretton
 Woods conference, and pointing out the relevance for today s
 framework of Keynes original 1942 plan for an International
 Clearing Union. This note explores the main characteristics
 of Keynes' original plan, by revisiting his original
 writings between 1940 and 1944, and outlining its relevance
 to the current debate on the international financial
 architecture. The note suggests that reforms of the
 international financial architecture should include
 anchoring the international monetary system on sounder
 institutional ground.
