Modeling in Iran’s regional strategy

PEJOURNAL - In this article, the modeling strategy in Iran's regional policy in West Asia is examined and the successes and limitations in this field are evaluated. The victory of the revolution set a precedent for the Islamic countries of West Asia to take steps to achieve their goals. The anti-arrogance and anti-authoritarian nature of the revolution was attractive to the oppressed nations of the region, and its continuation in the form of the Islamic Republic and resistance to foreign powers added to this attractiveness. Therefore, the modeling of some West Asian countries from Iran has continued with intensity and…

What is the main concern of world order’s architects in the aftermath of the U.S. election?

BY: Pooya Mirzaei PEJOURNAL - The U.S. has suffered irreparable damage with the Corona crisis and its unscientific and hasty actions so world order's architects have main concern about aftermath of the U.S. election. Demonstrations against racism, the gender of which lacks political and trade union transparency and shows more of a deep social divide, will intensify in the future, and again, under the pressure of white apartheid in the United States, to bring more violence and unbridled violence with this logic again. It will show that the American social system has not structurally considered the welfare of people of…

What’s going on with climate policy in the U.S. ?

BY: Michael Robbins So far in the presidential race the focus has been on mostly issues surrounding social justice, inequality, and revamping the middle class. Much less has been uttered in terms of climate change policy. There was a hint of this topic in the first presidential debate, but not nearly enough, where Biden stuttered and mentioned that skyscrapers should be more energy efficient. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to actually having a mitigation strategy. Policies are long and detailed. Rhetoric is short and appeals to emotion. It would be a good time though,…

Natural Gas Resources and the Effect of Democracy on Resource Sharing

BY: Sibel İleana Okumuş PEJOURNAL - Turkey's recent finding natural gas reserve in Black Sea did not make a big impact because of the course of the economy and the existence of other problems. In contrast, the economic and social problems such as depreciation of Turkish lira and backwardness in terms of human rights are the subjects that being argued. This leads us to search how these resources are distributed in countries with valuable underground resources and how transparently this is done. In this context, we are going to examine the gas reserves of countries and its connection with governence,…

From Hegemony To Hedgemony

BY: Leonid Savin PEJOURNAL - The RAND corporation has unveiled a unique defence planning and response project called “Hedgemony”. As is clear from the name, it is a play on the words “hegemony” and “hedging”, i.e. managing and insuring against risk. “Hedgemony. A Game of Strategic Choices” is a practical tool that RAND researchers have created to teach US specialists in defence and related areas. Its mission is to provide a better understanding of how different strategies could influence key planning factors in the sphere of trade at the intersection of force development, force management, force posture, and force employment.…

The end of American dominance and its bloody empire seems ahead this decade

BY: Martin Love PEJOURNAL - The United States is insolvent and the dollar is at extreme risk, some financial experts insist, of losing its worldwide reserve currency status. That may eventually ensure the end of the so-called U.S. military “empire” across the globe. Donald Trump is back to bloviating on Twitter after what amounted to a weekend at Walter Reed Hospital in what must be one of the shortest alleged bouts with Covid 19 ever. Yes he did receive the best drugs and the most advanced steroids available to “cure” corona virus (via a team of some 30 doctors) that…

Central Asia; Geopolitical cohesion and regional powers

BY: S.Alireza Behbahani PEJOURNAL - With the collapse of the Soviet Union and the rise of the Commonwealth of Independent States in 1991, the Caucasus and Central Asia regained the ability to re-establish relations in various political, security, economic, and cultural fields with its neighbors and other trans-regional powers. This region is strategically located due to the existence of underground oil and gas reserves and the important geographical location between the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea, in the area of New Eurasia, from a dormant region far from the center to a region considered by regional and trans-regional powers.…
