His controversial policy can be seen from his reopening of America agenda at a time when the situation was not conducive yet, the rejection to join COVAX, confrontational behavior toward WHO and China, the reduction of international engagement with the European Union to address COVID-19. This article examines how Trump�s leadership style influenced American foreign policy during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. It mainly uses psychobiography and content analysis as complementary methodologies. This article found that Trump is a predominant leader with a more goal-driven style. He is a leader who likes to challenge constraints, is closed to information, and is achievement-motivated, with an expansionist type. His personalities of high level of dominance, high self-confidence, emotional, ambitious and aggressiveness shaped his foreign policy to be inconsistent and unpredictable during the pandemic.

African Socialism is Tanzanian development ideology in conducting political and economic practices. However, during the era of President John Magufuli, cases of mining exploitation by the British companies have increased. Magufuli, who implemented African Socialism through a nationalist economic system failed to remove Tanzania from the category of least developed country. African Socialism should be emphasizing Tanzania’s assertiveness in avoiding exploitation. This anomaly directs to a research question on why African Socialism failed to prevent Tanzania’s mining resources from being exploited by the British in 2015-2020. The question is examined explanatively with state failure theory. This paper finds that the Magufuli government was intentionally incorrect in implementing African Socialism which exemplifies state-building failure. The failure eased British government and corporate concessions to Tanzania’s mining resources.","PeriodicalId":111531,"journal":{"name":"Intermestic: Journal of International Studies","volume":"55 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139206516","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In light of Russia encountering a severe reaction from the global community, it is anticipated that China will assume a mitigating role, owing to their amicable bilateral ties throughout the preceding decade. This study investigates the potential for increased assertiveness in China�s response to the invasion and the resulting implications for their ties. It examines the ramifications of the crisis on Sino-Russian relations, considering the elements that contribute to either the change or continuity of these interactions. It does so by referencing a short historical account of the relations and power dynamics among the relevant actors, employing a realist perspective. The analysis of this study reveals that China has departed from its initially neutral position during the crisis, indicating its capacity to assume the responsibilities associated with becoming a major global power. Nevertheless, their bilateral relations may be advantageous to China with time, primarily due to Russia�s increasing economic reliance and China�s potential for enhancing its global standing.","PeriodicalId":111531,"journal":{"name":"Intermestic: Journal of International Studies","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139198687","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study uses a constructivist perspective to analyze the process of normalization during the period of 2010-2020, by examining the intersubjective dynamics among various stakeholders, including the United States, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the Middle Eastern countries involved in the normalization process. The findings of this research conclude that the diplomatic normalization between Middle Eastern countries and Israeli is not solely motivated by economic, political, and military factors, but rather by shared ideas agreed upon by the United States, Israeli, and the Middle Eastern countries, which state that the Middle East region's threat originates from Iran. This threat perception serves as the rational for the Middle Eastern countries and Israel to normalize relations in order to delegitimize Iran's hegemony in the region. The implications of this normalization further complicate the position of Palestine in its struggle for independence, as Israel's position grows stronger.","PeriodicalId":111531,"journal":{"name":"Intermestic: Journal of International Studies","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139202075","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Asia Selatan merupakan salah satu kawasan yang sangat rentan perubahan iklim, kepadatan jumlah penduduk, kemiskinan, dan kurangnya sumber daya untuk adaptasi perubahan iklim menjadi kendala utama bagi kawasan tersebut, ditambah lagi kondisi wilayah geografis Asia Selatan yang berbatasan dengan pegunungan Himalaya di bagian Utara dan Timur, Samudera Hindia di bagian Selatan.
