The space cooperation that started after the end of the Cold War is a sign of the gradual progress of the relationship between the two countries to the current all-weather strategic cooperative partnership. With China’s assistance, Pakistan has achieved significant milestones in the space field. Pakistan is also a key node in China’s strategy to expand international space cooperation. After the 2010s, China-Pakistan space cooperation was integrated with the construction of the Space Silk Road and the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor under the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative, becoming a model for space cooperation specifically promoting the social and economic development of developing countries. This paper outlines the complete picture of China-Pakistan space cooperation under the evolutionary logic and chronological context of \"ideological-materialization\" two-way mutual construction, so as to reasonably predict the prospects of China-Pakistan space cooperation.","PeriodicalId":112246,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Eurasia","volume":"349 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125629538","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}

Some scholars have noticed that during World War II, Mingei was related to \"life culture\" with fascist ideology, and there was a historical phenomenon that Mingei served politics. This paper attempts to interpret the first-hand texts of Yanagi Sōetsu, Kunio Kishida, and Kiyoshi Miki, discuss how Mingei with a \"healthy\" original intention came into being, and how it gradually became a tool for Japanese fascist aggression and expansion. Mingei originated in the period of \"Taisho Democracy,\" with a strong left-wing flavor in Japanese history. It contains a beautiful vision of making society \"healthy\". It has gained influence with the support of elites, and the Mingei movement has progressed well in rural and urban society. Later, Mingei gradually attracted the attention of the Showa fascist government and was absorbed by the concept of \"life culture\" advocated by the new system in 1940, which was alienated and became a tool for the mobilization of the Japanese fascist war.","PeriodicalId":112246,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Eurasia","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126375083","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}

The cooperation between the two countries intensified and received a new impetus during the presidency of Abd al-Aziz Bouteflika and Vladimir Putin. In a short time, Algeria became the largest buyer of Russian weapons in the Middle East and North Africa, which, together with the revenues from the sale of oil, strengthened Algeria's position and increased its influence in the region. At the same time, military cooperation with Russia had a significant impact on the development of political relations between the two countries. Algeria gradually became an important strategic partner for Russia in North Africa. In presenting the Russian-Algerian military cooperation, it is important to highlight certain aspects that have had both positive and negative effects on this partnership during different periods. These aspects include a shared desire for strengthening positions, as Russia and Algeria have shown a mutual interest in bolstering their positions and influence in the Middle East and African region; political cooperation and similarity of positions on a number of international issues; and the Russian- Ukrainian war, which had and has some impact on military cooperation.","PeriodicalId":112246,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Eurasia","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124156538","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}

The analysis of the transformations of the mentioned communities in Lebanon and of their impact on the internal and external levels provides one of the most relevant examples of the \"sectarianization\" of the Middle East, especially after 2011, which was also characterized by the struggle between Sunnis and Shiites. The confessional contradictions are deeply rooted in Lebanon, based on its confessional political system, but, despite the public rhetoric, both communities tend to have more pragmatic and accommodating attitudes instead of deepening confessional confrontations. While it is true that each community has witnessed the radicalization of certain positions and that, especially after 2011, major changes are taking place, which have been fuelled by the narrative that is mostly emerging at the regional level. Have regional developments influenced the national Lebanese ones? Has confessionalism been used as a tool of realpolitik in Lebanon? These are the main questions that are going to be examined.","PeriodicalId":112246,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary Eurasia","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115233153","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}

International technology diffusion, whose channels consist of international trade \u0000and foreign direct investment, plays a primary role in the formation of the \u0000semiconductor production network in East Asia, which has a profound influence on \u0000shaping the international power structure. However, the reshaping power structure \u0000always attracts the technology exporter’s attention and provokes power competition \u0000between the dominant state and the rising power, which in turn casts negative \u0000influences on international technology diffusion.

The analysis of state-religious relations, the gradual \u0000reinforcing of legal regulation of religious activities, and the role of \"official Shīʿa \u0000Islam\" in the state-building process are the objectives of the article.\u0000The article argues that the political elite of Azerbaijan, with the support of the religious \u0000establishment, institutionally employed the notion of \"secularized Shīʿa Islam\" as a part \u0000of the official interpretation of \"Azerbaijani Islam\" in shaping national identity, \u0000presenting \"official Islam\" as a key component of the history and culture of the state. \u0000The government’s autocratic efforts in preventing foreign religious, particularly \u0000Iranian influence are intended to preserve Alievs' authoritarian regime. However, the \u0000government failed to completely eradicate the religious and political influence of Iran \u0000in Azerbaijan. The state's efforts to institutionalize \"Azerbaijani Islam\" or \"traditional \u0000Islam\" and neutralize Iranian religious influence remain one of the most painful issues \u0000of the authoritarian Azerbaijani regime. There are many circles in Azerbaijani society \u0000that adhere to the underground interpretation of Iranian Shiite Islam. Accordingly, \u0000there are different approaches to Shīʿa Islam that are incompatible with each other.
