Abstract

In 2025, the Trump administration implemented sweeping tariff measures as part of its "America First" trade agenda. While aimed broadly at correcting trade imbalances, these policies have had significant ripple effects on Middle Eastern economies, particularly in the Gulf. The objective is to examine how the Trump administration’s tariff regime constitutes a deliberate exercise in economic statecraft and how Gulf states are responding to preserve economic sovereignty and geopolitical relevance. The methodology involves qualitative research method and collecting the data through documents. The paper distinguishes the U.S. tariff regime through the lens of economic coercion, categorizing these tariffs as strategic maneuvers rather than mere economic adjustments. The results show Gulf states responded with financial market adjustments, export disruptions, and accelerated economic diversification, regional alliances, and hedging strategies. This redefines U.S.–Middle East economic relations, with Gulf states increasingly asserting strategic autonomy amid shifting global power dynamics. The article concludes by assessing the broader geopolitical implications of this evolving trade confrontation for future U.S. engagement in the region.

Abstract

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has drawn global attention for decades, involving not only states but also international organizations, individuals, and non-governmental organizations. Media coverage often simplifies the conflict as Israeli Defense Force (IDF) vs Hamas or Jews vs Arabs. However, Afro-Palestinian communities face layered oppression that goes underreported—experiencing marginalization both as Black people and as Palestinians. This study aims to analyze how the Black Women Radicals (BWR) movement advocates for Afro-Palestinians through a transnational and intersectional feminist lens. Using an integrative review method, this study systematically examines data such as advocacy manifestos, organizational campaigns, and scholarly articles. Findings show that BWR’s initiatives highlight the intersection of race, nationality, and gender within systems of oppression. Kimberlé Crenshaw’s theory of intersectionality becomes crucial in interpreting BWR’s advocacy as a response to Afro-Palestinians’ structural invisibility and multidimensional subjugation.Konflik Israel dan Palestina telah menjadi perhatian global selama beberapa dekade, melibatkan negara, organisasi internasional, individu, hingga lembaga non-pemerintah. Media kerap membingkai konflik ini secara biner sebagai Israel Defense Force (IDF) melawan Hamas atau Yahudi melawan Arab. Namun, kelompok Afro-Palestina mengalami opresi berlapis yang luput dari pemberitaan utama—sebagai warga Palestina sekaligus ras kulit hitam. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis bagaimana gerakan Black Women Radicals (BWR) melakukan advokasi terhadap Afro-Palestina melalui pendekatan feminisme interseksional dan advokasi transnasional. Menggunakan metode integrative review, studi ini mengkaji berbagai data seperti manifesto advokasi, kampanye organisasi, dan artikel akademik. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa inisiatif BWR menyoroti pertemuan antara ras, kewarganegaraan, dan gender dalam sistem penindasan struktural. Teori interseksionalitas dari Kimberlé Crenshaw penting untuk memahami advokasi BWR sebagai respons terhadap ketaknampakan struktural dan subordinasi multidimensi yang dialami Afro-Palestina.
