         <description><![CDATA[<p>Russia is a consider a state because of it owns the key elements to be considered a nation which are: territory, government, population, and sovereignty.</p><p><br/></p><p>Russia is globally well known as an acknowledged geographical area since it has the biggest territory of a State in the world, it has a unified government system that works as a federal semi-presidential republic that has a powerful central government which is led by a president. </p><p>To contribute to the international agenda it interacts with other countries such as the EU in order to seek for their own well-being. It has also been a protagonist on many past wars and ongoing conflicts.</p><p><br/></p><p>From a scale of 1-10 we consider this international actor holds a 9 in importance, since it has a huge influence in all past aspects.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>The Vatican is considered as a Nation due to it not being fully recognized as a country, but rather as an independent state due to its extremely small territory and not having a democracy. </p><p><br/></p><p>It has influenced the international agenda by having huge power and influence in the catholic religion with it's biggest representative, The Pope.</p><p><br/></p><p>From 1-10 I'd say a 3 since it is very influential in religion but not politically or economically.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p><br/></p><p>The government of China is a great example of an international actor by the fact that they have a lot of influence, power and participation on international relations and systems. </p><p><br/></p><p>Talking about the interactions of this government with the international agenda,</p><p>China had taken several interesting and significantly actions, like things that are related with politics, economy, security, and technology in a global level, due to the clear and long term vision that the country has to achieve a great development in those areas.</p><p><br/></p><p>In a scale from 1 to 10 I think that China is easily a 9 thanks to the global economy, technology and diplomacy that the CCP has developed, because if we base ourselves in those facts, China has a very strong role and place among many countries.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>This Organization is consider an international actor by the impact, influence and the role that it has among the global community. They work with more than 190 countries, with governments, private actors, NGOs, MNCs and many others UN agencies, giving as result many developments of programs that benefit children.</p><p><br/></p><p>Its interactions with the international agenda are basically that they ensure the safety of children in community’s meanwhile and after wars to help them recover. </p><p><br/></p><p>Even though UNICEF is a very big and active organization that works in many places, their ability to have direct influence on governments and local policies can be limited, affecting the UNICEF’s ability to achieve its goals in some situations. So I would say that they probably have an 8 in the aspect of how much power do they have as international actors.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>It is considered an international actor since it works internationally and also has a big influence in wildlife care worldwide, it also is considered non-governmental since, well, it is not run by a government. </p><p><br/></p><p>To contribute to the international agenda the WWF has protected endangered species worldwide, but giving a specific example, they have advocated to ban elephant ivory trade, which has been a recurring issue for the past years.</p><p><br/></p><p>From 1-10 I'd say an 8 since it is a pretty big organization that works worldwide and is very sought after by countries to work with.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>BlackRock is one of the world's largest investment management companies by AUM. Was founded in 1988 by Larry Fink and seven partners. It finally went public in 1999, and ended up with $165 billion in assets. The companty provides a big range of services like invesment managment, risk managment, and advisory services. Latelly it has been a a major player in the financial industries. It also has been influential in the corporative governance. Actually they have offices located in thirty countries. The company boasted a nearly $112.85 billion market capitalization in April 2024.</p><p><br/></p><p>From 1-10 I'd say it is a 10 since it has a huge contribution to the global economy and has insane assets.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p><br></p><p>The ISIL caused a large international response with its quick territorial gain and conflicts to expand its position, which gives it a space in the international agenda.</p><p><br></p><p>On a scale from 1-10, I'd say its current power would be maybe a 3, it doesn't have territorial control like it did back then, but now it still has good military capabilities.  </p>]]></description>

He made an impact on the world, positively and negatively. </p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>In conclusion, we consider that out of all of these actors, the MNCs are the most influential ones since they hold a huge responsibility of the economics across the world, if they were to crash then there could be a global crisis that could affect economies from very important countries around the world. This does not mean that the other actors aren't as important, but the MNCs hold a massive responsibility in the economy.</p>]]></description>
