THE OBSTRUCTION OF SEA POWER, THE RECOVER OF LAND POWER AND THE POSSIBILITY OF “INTERCONNECT POWER”
Get PDFMaritime versus land transportation, or the race between sea power and land power, is a topic that political scientists have been passionately discussing for centuries. In recent decades, sea power has undoubtedly prevailed. However, With the changes in the international political and economic situation and the frequent occurrence of wars and accidents (for example, the conflict in the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait and the backlog of goods in ports due to the epidemic), maritime transportation has been restricted at the present time. Coupled with the development and application of new technologies (examples include distributed photovoltaics, high-speed rail, ultra-high-voltage transmission technology and thorium-based nuclear power plants) and the rise of new economies, the rise of land power has become a new trend. In other words, “circulating power”, which combines sea power and land power, provides a new development perspective for human society. The interconnectedness of the world will beyond the “national center” perspective, bring about the well-being of mankind, and convert the struggle for power into economic cooperation and prosperity
CHINA-ARAB ENERGY COOPERATION: CONSTRUCT NEW ENERGY SILK ROAD
Get PDFArab countries are one of the most important energy supply bases in the world and a key area for China's ‘Belt and Road’" initiative(BRI). China and Arab countries have long been committed to enhancing energy cooperation. While the global energy transition is the background of China-Arab energy cooperation, the international situation in the region is still in flux, but there is a good political foundation for China-Arab energy cooperation. These are the basic conditions for China-Arab energy cooperation. Against the backdrop of energy transition and continuous changes in the international situation, China and Arab countries are working together to promote energy cooperation in terms of policy design, mechanism improvement, industry chain layout, human resource support and project implementation, combining the BRI and ‘a Community with a Shared Future for Mankind’, and the ‘China-Arab Community with a Shared Future’ in order to promote the building of a China-Arab community of energy cooperation. China-Arab cooperation in the oil and gas sector continues at a high level, while new energy sources are becoming the highlight of China-Arab energy cooperation, which is the ‘new’. In addition, despite frequent changes in the international situation, China and Arab countries have insisted on promoting a community-based approach to cooperation, which is a ‘new’ way of cooperation compared to the energy strategies of Western countries
EDUCATIONAL LANDSCAPE OF INDIA: UNRAVELLING GENDER AND REGIONAL DISPARITIES FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Get PDFIn the comprehensive assessment of societal well-being, education emerges as a pivotal factor. This study, framing education as a transformative process crucial for enhancing overall societal welfare, zeroes in on examining disparities in the utilization of educational services among diverse social strata. This scrutiny is crucial as it has the potential to perpetuate economic inequities. Key focal points of this study address gender and regional disparities in illiteracy, gross enrolment ratio, and educated unemployment within Indian states. This paper deals with two hypotheses, the first one being that woman from disadvantaged backgrounds in rural areas and states with lower GDP, experience diminished access to education compared to other economic and social segments while the second hypothesis is that economic growth has influenced regional disparities, leading to educational gaps between rural and urban areas, as well as economically advanced and backward regions. Through a meticulous analysis of data encompassing different income groups, genders, fields of education, and regions, this research seeks to elucidate the evolving patterns of educational access. The findings from this study hold significant policy implications. The insights gained are expected to inform the allocation of public resources, with a specific focus on higher education, addressing the educational needs of women and marginalized populations throughout India. In summary, this research contributes substantively to the ongoing discourse surrounding educational reform and equity within the dynamic educational landscape of India
