Abstract

The impact of global political actors on vaccine diplomacy and vaccine nationalism will be discussed in depth in this research study. First, vaccine pulls in developed countries long before vaccines were discovered and manufactured. Second, vaccine diplomacy and nationalism have emerged as a new tool for safeguarding inter-state relations; it is a weapon for extending imperialism in contemporary international politics. As a result, many governments have competed to announce vaccine gifts or advance supplies to other countries to sway public opinion while failing to meet their needs. For example, the Seram Institute of India failed to produce the promised vaccine due to the severe corona infection and complete failure of the death-oxygen-health system in India. As a result, 1.3 million people out of 3.5 million who received the first dose could receive the second dose. Bangladesh's government has stepped up diplomatic efforts outside India to gather and manufacture vaccines with Russia and China. Furthermore, Bangladesh's government is stepping up diplomatic attempts to obtain vaccines from the USA, Japan, and the UK. Finally, this study will examine how vaccine diplomacy and vaccine nationalism work in Bangladesh regarding vaccine collection.

Pertama, penarikan vaksin di negara maju jauh sebelum vaksin ditemukan dan diproduksi. Kedua, diplomasi vaksin dan nasionalisme telah muncul sebagai alat baru untuk menjaga hubungan antar negara; itu adalah senjata untuk memperluas imperialisme dalam politik internasional kontemporer. Akibatnya, banyak pemerintah bersaing untuk mengumumkan hadiah vaksin atau memajukan pasokan ke negara lain untuk mempengaruhi opini publik sementara gagal memenuhi kebutuhan mereka. Misalnya, Institut Seram India gagal memproduksi vaksin yang dijanjikan karena infeksi korona yang parah dan kegagalan total sistem kesehatan oksigen kematian di India. Akibatnya, 1,3 juta orang dari 3,5 juta yang menerima dosis pertama dapat menerima dosis kedua. Pemerintah Bangladesh telah meningkatkan upaya diplomatik di luar India untuk mengumpulkan dan memproduksi vaksin dengan Rusia dan China. Selain itu, pemerintah Bangladesh meningkatkan upaya diplomatik untuk mendapatkan vaksin dari Amerika Serikat, Jepang, dan Inggris. Terakhir, penelitian ini akan mengkaji bagaimana diplomasi vaksin dan nasionalisme vaksin bekerja di Bangladesh terkait pengumpulan vaksin.Kata kunci: Diplomasi, Nasionalisme, Negosiasi, Globalisasi, Pandemi, Covid-19

Abstract

The world is in recession, Covid-19 and the Ukraine Crisis are two important events that have made the world economy worse. The World Bank predicts an increased risk of a global recession in 2023. A recession will impact many aspects of life, including the military. This is reasonable because efforts to overcome them are prioritized in the main sectors. Something is fascinating about Southeast Asia, namely that its military expenditure has increased. Why did Southeast Asia's military expenditure increase during a recession? This pattern of contradic- tion is not only important but also interesting to study. Using qualitative methods with data analysis techniques, and borrowing a structural realism approach, it is found that the in- creasing competition between the U.S.A. and China has triggered an increase in military ex- penditure in the region. At the same time conflicts and potential conflicts between countries in the Southeast Asian region, although not directly, are permanent causes. The recession does not seem to affect efficiency in military expenditure, this shows that tensions in Southeast Asia are a priority of countries in the region. These findings close a gap in previous studies which were relatively dominated by efforts to link military expenditure to economic growth using quantitative methods

Abstract

The bilateral relationship between Bangladesh and the United States has undergone significant shifts over the years, shaped by complex interactions between democratic ideals, human rights concerns, and geopolitical interests. This study examines the multifaceted dynamics of Bangladesh-US relations, focusing on analyzing the extent to which US foreign policy prioritizes democracy, human rights, and geopolitical considerations. The study draws upon a comprehensive literature review of scholarly works, official documents, and expert analyses related to the historical context and critical milestones in Bangladesh-US relations. The present study employs a mixed-methods technique to incorporate qualitative data, which contributes to a comprehensive comprehension of the intricate aspects that shape United States foreign policy choices concerning Bangladesh. Using case studies and examining policy initiatives, this analysis assesses the concrete results of democracy and human rights measures, elucidating their influence on the bilateral relationship. Furthermore, the research explores the role of geopolitical considerations in shaping US engagement with Bangladesh. This analysis aims to evaluate the tangible outcomes of democracy and human rights measures by employing case studies and analyzing policy efforts. Through this approach, the study seeks to shed light on the impact of these measures on the bilateral relationship. This report provides a comprehensive overview of the Bangladesh-US relationship, seeking to establish whether the US foreign policy strikes a delicate balance between promoting democracy and human rights while addressing its geopolitical interests.

Abstract

This article delves into the evolving power dynamics between China and India in the South Asian region, aiming to scrutinize how their respective policies have shifted in response to emerging geopolitical rivalries. The research objective is to dissect the strategic maneuvers and policy adaptations of both nations, with a focus on understanding the implications for regional stability and power balance. Key research questions include: How have Sino-Indian relations evolved in the context of South Asian geopolitics? What are the primary drivers of their policy shifts? How do these shifts affect the smaller South Asian states? Through a comprehensive analysis of policy documents, diplomatic exchanges, and strategic initiatives, the research finds that both China and India are increasingly asserting their influence through economic investments, military presence, and diplomatic engagements. China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and India’s Act East Policy are pivotal to their regional strategies. The research argues that while these policies aim to bolster their respective spheres of influence, they also exacerbate tensions and competition, thereby impacting regional alliances and economic development. The findings underscore a nuanced power rivalry where economic diplomacy, infrastructural projects, and security concerns intersect, revealing a complex interplay of cooperation and contention. This rivalry not only reshapes bilateral relations between China and India but also significantly affects the geopolitical landscape of South Asia, necessitating a reevaluation of existing regional policies and alliances.
