Abstract

This study analyzes human security and political ecology issues in cobalt mining practices in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), a central hub in the global green energy supply chain. Employing a qualitative case study approach with content analysis, this research utilizes the UNDP's Human Security concept and Paul Robbins' Political Ecology framework as its theoretical lens. Findings reveal that mine workers, including women and children, operate under inhumane conditions without adequate legal protection. Such exploitation reflects the unequal power relations between global actors and local communities within the mineral supply chain. This study concludes that energy sustainability cannot be separated from principles of social and ecological justice, advocating for more ethical and accountable global mineral supply chain governance

Abstract

The Houthi attacks on United States commercial vessels in the Red Sea during 2023–2024 have drawn global attention to maritime security dynamics and regional conflicts. This study aims to analyze the ideas, identities, and narratives that shape Houthi actions through the lens of constructivism in international relations. Employing a qualitative approach and in-depth case study, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with global security experts and content analysis of official Houthi statements and international media coverage. Findings indicate that Houthi actions are not solely driven by military objectives but are also motivated by ideas of solidarity with Gaza, the collective identity of the Arab world, and a Global South resistance against Western hegemony. Furthermore, Shia ideology reinforces the alliance with Iran as Houthi’s primary backer, with suspicions of major power involvement such as China within a proxy war context. Houthi narratives frame the attacks as a moral and political struggle against global injustice, resonating broadly across the region. The study underscores the importance of ideational and identity dimensions in understanding contemporary conflict dynamics and recommends strengthening narrative analysis in international security studies.
