Resumen

This dossier arises from a set of questions that are both urgent and strategic for the contemporary field of communication studies. At a time marked by geopolitical tensions, technological transformations, institutional asymmetries, democratic fragilities, and renewed debates on coloniality, gender, open science, and public communication, academic and scientific cooperation can no longer be understood merely as a technical matter, an administrative procedure, or a diplomatic extension of institutional life. Cooperation must be examined as an epistemological, political, communicative, and ethical practice.
