    UNVEILING DUALITIES: US RHETORIC AND REALITY IN GLOBAL NUCLEAR NON-PROLIFERATION UNDER TRUMP AND BIDEN ADMINISTRATIONS

    No full text
    The image the United States has always projected of itself in the international community is that of a state that is nuclear responsible and bears the responsibility to keep nuclear proliferation in check. To this effect, it uses sanctions, international pressure, and harsh language with states it deems to be in violation of the obligations of the global nuclear non-proliferation regime. On the other hand, however, there is doubt about the United States' own dedication to the cause of nuclear non-proliferation. This paper is an attempt to examine the role the US has played vis-à-vis nuclear proliferation. It deals with the question: what role US has played in promoting nuclear non-proliferation and what its probable effects are on the international nuclear non-proliferation landscape. It argues that the US has not only engaged in excessive nuclear proliferation since 1945 but has also damaged the international nuclear non-proliferation regime, thereby reduced restraints, and set dangerous precedence for other states. The paper recommends that US may lead the world towards nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament by example rather than unfair coercion.   Bibliography Entry Rashid, Asma and Aiman Saif Ullah. 2023.

    This paper aims to highlight the role of mutual assistance of China and Pakistan’s regional connectivity through the China‑Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and show what lessons can be learned by Central and Eastern European Countries (CEECs). CPEC promotes trade, FDI, peace, and sustainable socio‑economic development, and it can help to alleviate the effects of COVID–19 in the region to promote socio‑economic development. In this study, we employed the Rolling Window Approach (Rolling Moving Average Approach) for data analysis of pre‑ and post‑COVID–19. It also focuses on before and after the CPEC initiative’s impact on the Pakistani economy through the Rolling Window Approach and graphical trends. In Pakistan, thanks to CPEC; trade, FDI, remittance, and the stock exchange (PSX) showed an upward shift. Terrorism decreased, which indicates a positive sign for peace and socio‑economic development. However, currency depreciation increased, and the exchange rate trend is going up against the dollar, hurting the economy badly in several ways, such as the balance of payment, current account deficit, and lower some exports. To mitigate these issues, Pakistan and China have taken steps as trade formulated in domestic currency between China and Pakistan. During COVID–19, the provision of health care equipment on a priority basis from China helped to combat the COVID–19 effects and stabilize Pakistan’s Economy. CPEC is structured to connect regional economic zones by forming local, regional, and global value chains. To cope with the COVID–19 impacts, socio‑economic reforms and regional cooperation are suggested for CEECs with a pre‑post circumstances review. Regional integration and cooperation are key to coping with this pandemic. CEECs can learn lessons from CPEC for socio‑economic development, reducing violence, and improving the economy.Niniejszy artykuł ma na celu podkreślenie roli wzajemnej pomocy w ramach powiązań regionalnych Chin i Pakistanu realizowanych za pośrednictwem Korytarza Gospodarczego Chiny–Pakistan (CPEC) oraz wskazanie wniosków dla państw Europy Środkowej i Wschodniej. CPEC promuje handel, bezpośrednie inwestycje zagraniczne (BIZ), pokój i zrównoważony rozwój społeczno‑gospodarczy, a także może pomóc w łagodzeniu skutków COVID–19 w regionie w celu promowania rozwoju społeczno‑gospodarczego. W badaniu tym zastosowano metodę „Rolling Window” do analizy danych sprzed i po pojawieniu się pandemii COVID–19. Artykuł prezentuje również wpływ sytuacji przed i po wprowadzeniu inicjatywy CPEC na gospodarkę Pakistanu za pomocą podejścia „Rolling Window” i graficznej prezentacji trendów. Dzięki CPEC, handel, BIZ, wielkość przekazów pieniężnych i indeks giełdy papierów wartościowych (PSX) w Pakistanie wykazały wzrosty. Zmniejszył się terroryzm, co jest pozytywnym sygnałem dla pokoju i rozwoju społeczno‑gospodarczego. Nastąpiła jednak zwiększona deprecjacja waluty a kurs walutowy rośnie w stosunku do dolara, szkodząc gospodarce w kilku aspektach, takich jak bilans płatniczy, deficyt na rachunku obrotów bieżących i spadek części eksportu. Aby złagodzić te problemy, Pakistan i Chiny podjęły kroki zgodnie z formułą handlu w walucie krajowej między Chinami a Pakistanem. Podczas pandemii COVID–19 zapewnienie na zasadzie pierwszeństwa dostaw sprzętu dla opieki zdrowotnej z Chin pomogło w zwalczaniu skutków COVID–19 i ustabilizowaniu gospodarki Pakistanu. CPEC został skonstruowany z zamiarem połączenia regionalnych stref ekonomicznych poprzez tworzenie lokalnych, regionalnych i globalnych łańcuchów wartości. Aby poradzić sobie ze skutkami COVID–19, państwom Europy Środkowej i Wschodniej zaleca się reformy społeczno‑gospodarcze i współpracę regionalną, po uprzednim przeanalizowaniu ich specyficznej sytuacji. Integracja i współpraca regionalna mają kluczowe znaczenie dla radzenia sobie z tą pandemią. Kraje Europy Środkowej i Wschodniej mogą wyciągnąć wnioski z przykładu CPEC w zakresie rozwoju społeczno‑gospodarczego, ograniczenia przemocy i poprawy sytuacji gospodarki
