We use geocoding, mapping, and econometric analysis to understand whether war-affected districts received more aid than others after controlling for economic development. The article uses geocoded aid projects comparing the aid allocation priorities of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) as a bilateral donor and World Bank and Asian Development Bank as multilateral donors. The PRC and World Bank aid projects’ geocoded data come from AidData, while we geocoded Asian Development Bank projects at the ADM2 level. The data covers 2002–2014, both years included. The study finds that, in general, donors do not respond to the needs of the poorer and war-affected districts, which affects reconciliation and, thereby, long-term sustainable peace. Additionally, we find that China aid project allocations are motivated by domestic politicians, whereas that may be different for multilateral aid projects.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":45433,"journal":{"name":"Orbis","volume":"67 4","pages":"Pages 579-604"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49738086","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}

Historically, both superpowers have viewed the Global South as a critical sphere of influence, a trend that remains evident in the twenty-first century. With China’s rise as a global power, its extensive infrastructure projects and financial support across the Global South have prompted the United States to reassess its policies in the region. However, US influence appears to be waning, marked by a shift in the political landscape within multilateral institutions and decreased support from countries in the Global South.

Moreover, it discusses the need for policy beyond infrastructure diplomacy, suggesting a focus on human capital and education as potential avenues for strategic partnerships.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":45433,"journal":{"name":"Orbis","volume":"67 4","pages":"Pages 524-543"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49738362","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 administrations have focused on naturally occurring EMP threats, such as space weather events, whereas others have focused predominately on the nuclear EMP threat, or even taken a hybrid approach here. Despite this contretemps, protecting against one form of an EMP threat thankfully also serves to protect against the other. Thus, this paper recommends that the United States Government and private sector work together to harden the electric grid from both natural and man-made EMP incidents, and establish an EMP Manhattan Project to develop national contingency plans for such scenarios.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":45433,"journal":{"name":"Orbis","volume":"67 3","pages":"Pages 347-369"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49752040","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}
