Abstract

The Russian-Ukrainian war has profoundly impacted international Trade, reshaping global economic dynamics. This study explores the political effects of the conflict, focusing on economic sanctions, trade realignments, and disrupted supply chains. As significant energy and essential commodities exporters, Russia and Ukraine's roles in global Trade have been pivotal. Hostilities have caused inflation, food insecurity, and a reevaluation of global economic dependencies. Anchored in the Geoeconomic Power Theory, the study uses historical and content analysis to examine documented data. Key findings reveal disruptions in supply chains, rising commodity prices, changes in trade relationships, and significant impacts on energy and agricultural markets. Sanctions have reconfigured trade partnerships, fostered covert economies, and influenced long-term trade policies, including shifts toward regionalization, economic blocs, and alternative financial systems. The study underscores the strategic use of economic tools in geopolitics and recommends real-time trade monitoring systems to track and respond to global trade fluctuations caused by the war, ensuring businesses adapt to emerging trends effectively.

Abstract

China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has emerged as a transformative global infrastructure and development project since its launch in 2013. Beyond its economic scope, the initiative is increasingly framed as a strategic vehicle of China’s soft power. However, the reception and interpretation of the BRI vary across regions, influenced by political, economic, and social conditions. This paper investigates the contextual factors shaping perceptions of the BRI in Asia, Latin America, and Africa, using a discursive analytical approach. Findings highlight the importance of local political legitimacy, economic sustainability, and social narratives in mediating China’s influence and underscore the conditional nature of soft power.
