Globalization, security challenges, and the evolving landscape for contemporary democracies
Globalization has significantly impacted contemporary democracies, presenting both opportunities and security challenges. The rapid flow of information, capital, and people across borders has fostered economic growth and cultural exchange but has also exposed nations to cyber threats, terrorism, and foreign interference. Digital technology has amplified these risks, enabling misinformation campaigns and cyberattacks that undermine democratic institutions. The rise of authoritarian regimes leveraging globalization to exert influence further complicates the landscape. Democracies must adapt by strengthening cybersecurity measures, promoting media literacy, and fostering international cooperation. Balancing national security with democratic values, such as privacy and freedom of expression, remains a critical challenge.

Health and Human Rights in Conflict and Post-Conflict Societies
Health and human rights are critical components in conflict and post-conflict soci-eties, where the impacts of violence can severely undermine both systems. During conflicts, the acute health crises stem from disrupted healthcare services, scarcity of essential medicines, and the breakdown of public health infrastructure. Vulnerable populations, including women and children, often face heightened risks of disease, malnutrition, and mental health issues, exacerbated by displacement and trauma. Post-conflict recovery prioritizes restoring health services while addressing human rights violations that may have occurred during the turmoil. The integration of hu-man rights frameworks in health care provision is essential for rebuilding trust and promoting equity. Health programming in post-conflict settings must also focus on accountability for violations, promoting transparency and active community partic-ipation. Prioritizing health in the aftermath of conflict promotes resilience, paving the way for sustainable peace and the promotion of fundamental human dignity. 2026 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.

SOCIAL BRAIN AND NEUROSTIMULATION: Applicability across Psychiatric Disorders
Social cognition is the capacity to detect, understand, and evaluate relevant information from the environment. It is an important skill for effective interpersonal functioning. The human social brain is instrumental in the process of social cognition. Disruption in these networks are central to the development and progression of pathology across psychiatric conditions in terms of deficits in facial recognition, interpreting social cues, difficulty in connecting with others, reduced adaptive functioning in social contexts exacerbating the overall disability. Conventional pharmacological and psychosocial management show sub-par effects which bring forward the applicability of neurostimulation as an effective therapeutic modality by virtue of their ability to directly generate action potential and modulate neural circuits. Techniques such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), and deep brain stimulation (DBS) show potential in enhancing social cognitive processes by targeting specific brain regions. This chapter aims to explore the mechanisms through which neurostimulation influences the social brain, emphasizing its potential role in addressing the associated socio-cognitive deficits. It also highlights the therapeutic relevance and applicability of neurostimulation in enhancing social cognition. Furthermore, it discusses the challenges, ethical considerations, and future directions involving integration of artificial intelligence with neurostimulation as part of enhancing clinical outcomes and advancing precision psychiatry. 2026 selection and editorial matter, K.
