Moreover, it is suggested that the rise of Islamist groups could likely transform Indonesia into an intolerant Islamist country. However, this article asserts that the Islamist groups are unlikely to reform Indonesia into an Islamic State or Sharia–based government and society, and are unable to receive the support and approval of the Indonesian Muslim majority due to the following fundamental reasons: the groups’ internal and inherent weaknesses, ruptured alliance among the groups, lack of Islamist political parties, limited intellectual grounds of the movement, the accommodation of some influential Muslim clerics and figures into the central government body, and public opposition toward the Islamist groups.","PeriodicalId":330787,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of international studies","volume":"470 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127011923","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 green economy refers to the emergent market for renewable energies and carbon-neutral growth. By defining the transformation to the green economy through the Gramscian idea of hegemony and passive revolution, this article highlights the strong role of neoliberalism in the green economy and disputes the framing of the green economy as a ‘revolution’ or new wave of development. Furthermore, this article takes the Lake Turkana Wind Power project in Northern Kenya as the exemplary case study and point of departure for the analysis. The article uses this case to show some of the consequences of neoliberalism within the green economy; namely, the absence of social inclusivity. Last but not least, by taking a Gramscian perspective, this article is able to pinpoint the shift from the traditional development paradigm of the brown economy to a greener one and concludes that in the name of progress, the neoliberal school of thought is still very much present.","PeriodicalId":330787,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of international studies","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124573921","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}

Exploring and analysing the Indus water Treaty 1960 (IWF) helps understanding the significancy of the treaty from a Malthusian point of view. Due to both countries growing number of populations, there is the need of sustainable energy sources. The paper further addresses several important historical milestones by diving into the water conflict between Pakistan and India. It presents an insight of the treaty by analysing the treaty through the eclectic method, giving a nuanced view on the conflict resolution, as it allows a more comprehensive understanding of the water sharing in the Indus basin. In order to understand certain elements within the treaty, the paper explores the historical context by elaborating the Pakistani and Indian geopolitics trough historical lenses on the Jammu & Kashmir conflict. In order to understand the necessity and the agreement of the treaty, it is also important to look at biliteral agreements between the Pakistani and Indian governments. The World Banks interfered in the negotiations on the technical and economic distributions between the two states, in order to maintain the Indus Waters, which is why a case study of the 1999 Baglihar Hydroelectric Power Projects and 2007 Kishenganga Hydroelectric Plant is relevant. The Indus water treaty is said to be one of the world’s most powerful agreements, which is why it opens up for a lot of questions that allows us to understand its effectivity and reasons for improvements.","PeriodicalId":330787,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of international studies","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127842050","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}

As an act of externalization of the European border and migration control, the agreement has been regarded as controversial. This paper attempts to answer how the EU-Turkey Statement has been framed in the political discourse as an attempt to legitimize the externalization of European border and migration management to a ‘safe third country’. The research question will be addressed through document and discourse analysis, and with the analytical lenses of humanitarianization, securitization and externalization of the Statement, its evaluations, and the political discourses surrounding it. In summary, the result of this analysis shows that the EU-Turkey Statement has been framed as a humanitarian and security crisis in order to justify a questionable externalization policy.","PeriodicalId":330787,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of international studies","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131927800","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}

Analysing the implications that the initiative incorporates for the regional power balances and by applying concepts of hegemony found in both neo-Gramscianism and neoliberal institutionalism, the authors argue that a considerable shift in regional hegemony is underway and that, as the BRI grows stronger, it could eventually lead to China gaining the ability of shaping ‘forms of state’ of Kazakhstan and becoming a hegemon, a development underlined by both theories. In the case of Kazakhstan, arguing along the dimensions of political economic as well as social shifts away from Russia and towards China, the article finds that China has increased its influence through the new institutions and norms provided by the initiative to such a degree that it fulfils the requirements for hegemony, which could possibly trigger a transition in the entire Central Asian region.","PeriodicalId":330787,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of international studies","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114505210","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 war not only affected the economies of Washington and Beijing but also it had a devastating effect on the world economy. The first part of the article discusses the concept of a trade war, while the second part analyzes the origins, causes, and course of the trade war between the United States and China, and the trade agreement between the two countries that have temporarily stopped the trade war.
