Understanding China’s Growing Global Influence: Perspectives and Assessments
No full textFrom its aberration to classical Westphalian statehood features to global ascendancy, the key words such as ideational factors, identity, and normative structures, hold key to debate the growing global influence of China. The classical scholarship of modern statehood and international relations is pre-dominantly western, and it has its structural limitations to take on the key question of this research which goes as following: ‘How to understand the increasing power and influence of China in the global arena?’. So far, a conscious effort has been made to give Chinese International Relations’ scholarship an edge over the western literature as self -perception and identity politics holds key to understand the recent expansionist mood in global arena. Methodologically, the qualitative approach has been adopted to address the given question. As scholarship of international relations theories has been the key focus of the research so the key question has been first dealt in taking appraisal of causal and constitutive theories. The subsequent portion takes on the estimate of historicizing China’s Theory of International Relations. The last two sections have been focused on application of social constructivism to assess the China’s rise on global stage, and likewise the internal academic quest of China’s International Relations scholarship has been placed under the assessment to deliberate post-reformist International Relations Theory of International Relations. The research concludes on the note; that despite of its limitations still social constructivism provides a robust framework for understanding China’s foreign policy as a dynamic process of identity formation and normative adaptation, offering insights into its future trajectory in an increasingly interconnected world.

Covid-19: Crossroads for Globalization
No full textThe process of global integration has hard hit in recent years with the recent rise of hyper nationalism. There has been an elaborative debate going on whether globalization remains intact in years to come. Even though, the determinant fallout in either case is yet to be classified, still the events like out-break of Covid-19 has posed serious structural questions on the issues like globalization, internationalism, and nationalism. For both the academicians and the practitioners of global politics; understanding the genesis of Covid-19 is as necessary as is its underlying political impact to foresee and to prompt the suggestable political adjustments that states have to make for sustainable socio-economic well-being. Therefore, this study expounds into the details of the nature of political mayhem that has been resultant. As it remains quite evident, that initial response of globally integrated countries was more marked on blame game and score settling, instead of coordination and cooperation to effectively mitigate the immediate impacts. So far, this remains a central concern of this research that how and why certain countries have shaped and implemented effective policy to contain, and curb spread of Covid-19, and why the other countries have failed to do so. In this regard the comparative study of countries like, Italy, UK, US, Brazil, and India are conducted with that of China, Singapore, Canada, Germany, and South Korea. The centrist tendency of the countries in effective managerial tier pose as serious questions to the future of globalization as is the democratic legislative countries who failed to make the mark due to their political indecisiveness. So far, this study explores the underlying cause to the leadership level, as well as state and societal level, in an order to make prognosis of the said pandemic. The theoretical construct delves into the points of neo-liberalism, in an order to evaluate the prospects and limitations of states to intervene and to regulate the political landscape of post Covid-19’s world. In the end, this study encapsulates the lessons that could be learnt and adjustments that are deemed to be made for making an integrated stride on behalf of states in years to come forth.
