Abstract

Purpose - The emergence of industrial hubs focused on oil and gas energy has fortified economic structures by integrating production, transit, and energy consumption, a phenomenon known as "geo-economics. The Near East, a strategic region rich in hydrocarbon reservoirs, has garnered significant attention as it seeks to influence critical areas, bases, and operational centers to achieve political-military and economic-commercial objectives. Due to its unique geographical location and proximity to major powers like Russia and China, along with regional players such as Iran, Pakistan, and India, Afghanistan assumes a vital operational role.Methodology - This article discusses the consequences of economic, geopolitical, and geo-economic developments in Afghanistan and neighboring regions using analytical and descriptive methods and reliable scientific and research sources. This research method has used the data and results of numerous studies in this field and explained these developments' connections and mutual effects.Findings - Capitalizing on its exceptional geographical position, Afghanistan stands to capitalize on numerous economic opportunities in trade and transit. Despite efforts to leverage this potential, significant progress remains elusive.Implication - This article delves into the economic and political prospects and capabilities engendered by Afghanistan's geographic position, aiming to identify its critical attributes for developmental purposes.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines the role of climate change in Afghanistan’s geopolitical power. Global warming and climate change are the most significant environmental threats today. The effects of climate change include water and food scarcity, disease, unemployment, migration, poverty, resource conflicts, and global instability.Methodology:This study examines the role of climate change in Afghanistan's geopolitical power. This study employs a descriptive-analytical approach and a survey method. The statistical research community includes experts and specialists in geopolitics, political science, climate science, and university professors. The questionnaire was distributed among them based on climate change, development, and geopolitics indicators. 80 questionnaires were collected.Findings: Based on these findings, a significant and inverse relationship exists between climate change's impacts and development. Furthermore, reducing the development process significantly and negatively impacts Afghanistan's geopolitical power. Finally, reducing development affects change. Climate plays a mediating role in geopolitics. Then, the priority of parameters influencing climate change in geopolitics was discussed using Friedman's comparison test.Implication:These parameters include 1) poverty, social anomalies, drought, and migration. In the suggestions section, effective methods, such as irrigation and the use of clean energy, must be implemented to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to the impacts of climate change.

Abstract

Climate change has precipitated not only an ecological crisis but a profound psychological one, giving rise to eco-anxiety a chronic, multidimensional emotional response to environmental degradation that is increasingly prevalent across global populations. Despite the parallel growth of climate fiction (cli-fi) as a culturally significant literary genre, scholarship has yet to systematically examine how contemporary cli-fi represents eco-anxiety as both thematic content and formal principle. This study addresses that gap through a qualitative ecocritical and affective literary analysis of six internationally significant cli-fi novels: Kingsolver's Flight Behavior (2012), Powers' The Overstory (2018), El Akkad's American War (2017), Jemisin's The Fifth Season (2015), Offill's Weather (2020), and Ghosh's Gun Island (2019). Employing thematic analysis supported by NVivo (Version 14) and guided by an ecocritical coding rubric derived from the eco-anxiety frameworks of Albrecht (2019), Clayton and Karazsia (2020), and Pihkala (2022), the study analyzed 312 coded passages across six eco-anxiety themes. Findings reveal that ecological grief (29.8%) and anticipatory loss (25.6%) constitute the dominant affective registers of the corpus, followed by helplessness and powerlessness (22.1%), solastalgia (21.2%), affective resilience (18.3%), and intergenerational despair (16.7%). The study further demonstrates that eco-anxiety is not merely depicted thematically but formally enacted through narrative fragmentation, temporal disruption, and second-person address. Cross-cultural analysis reveals that postcolonial cli-fi encodes eco-anxiety as inseparable from racial and political dispossession, challenging Western-centric psychological frameworks. The study proposes an original "eco-anxiety poetics" framework with significant implications for ecocritical scholarship, environmental education, climate communication, and therapeutic bibliotherapy practice.

Abstract

Central Asia is currently undergoing a profound transformation in regional cooperation, shifting from a passive geopolitical space to an active agent asserting itself through new connectivity initiatives and multisector diplomacy. However, the realization of a cohesive regional order is inextricably linked to Afghanistan's stability and integration. Despite its geographic centrality as the "Heart of Asia," Afghanistan remains a fragmented node, functioning more as a geopolitical barrier than a bridge within emerging regional connectivity corridors. This paper critically examines the multidimensional obstacles hindering Afghanistan's integration into the broader Central Asian regional architecture. Unlike traditional studies that focus predominantly on military security or terrorism, this research utilizes a geopolitical framework to analyze the intersection of border disputes—most notably the Durand Line conflict—and the influence of external power rivalries. Furthermore, the study investigates an under-researched dimension: how climate-induced resource scarcity exacerbates geopolitical fragility. It argues that sustainable connectivity initiatives, such as the Trans-Caspian and Middle Corridors, cannot realize their full economic potential without addressing Afghanistan's security vacuum and emerging environmental crisis. By assessing the potential of the "Heart of Asia" process, the study concludes that excluding Afghanistan from strategic planning perpetuates instability and proposes that future frameworks must adopt an inclusive approach, integrating Afghanistan’s economic potential with regional security imperatives to ensure long-term stability across Eurasia.
