The Russia-Ukraine war: an analysis of the geopolitical roots and the global dynamics
Authors: Hussain Ibrar , Shah Muhammad Naveedul Hasan , Tabiullah
Published: March 2024

Russian deployment of troops on the Ukrainian border is a clear threat of war, which the US-led Western block perceives truly. This research aims to analyse Russia's motives for opposing Ukraine. Europe's geopolitical and geo-economic situation needs serious attention to be studied systematically. A qualitative fact-based approach is used, and a descriptive analysis has been done for this research. The current security dynamics amidst the Russia-Ukraine conflict have jeopardised the security structure of the entire European region. All such development is no doubt a threat to the security of Europe. One of the immediate reasons Russia deployed its troops on Ukraine's border was to stop Ukraine from joining NATO, for which Russia had threatened both Ukraine and the US-led Western block. As the Ukraine crisis unfolds, geopolitical shifts have pushed Russia and China closer together. Consequently, this closeness between China and Russia is seen as alarming in the West. Further, the crises have highlighted differences within the Western alliance, like no consensus, as they do not agree on how to respond to this worst situation. It has further intensified the polarisation of the East and the West and has raised tensions.

Published: March 2024

The practical impact on criminal manifestations in the military environment, together with criminological, criminal law, criminal procedural, and forensic areas, is also complemented by others, including victimology . Today, the military service solves the most important state tasks and performs extremely important social functions, therefore victim behavior in the Armed Forces is a serious issue that requires resolution . Previous studies indicate that for military personnel who have been subjected to criminal attacks, the level of victimization is much greater than for others . In this regard, solving problems related to the maximum reduction in criminal and victim behavior in the army environment is a priority . The author concludes that among the effective tools for reducing victimization in the military environment, first and foremost is victimological prevention, as well as victimological forecasting, the importance of which is only increasing every year . He also convincingly proved that it is impossible to achieve a positive effect in reducing victimization in the military environment by ignoring the high-quality coordination of the activities in question, improving the legal framework for this work, scientifically based and normatively enshrined prevention of criminal processes in the troops, as well as other measures . In the future, we should strive to ensure that the victimological impact on military crime represents a set of forms and methods to prevent the victimization of the persons in question, as well as to ensure the safety of potential victims of this crime

The presence of blacks in the United States of America today constitutes one of the most peculiar phenomena in the history of modern man. Never had such a significant abduction of a people from their fatherland been recorded. Blacks were considered beasts of burden and property but did not create the language or metaphors by which they were defined. Having neither logos nor identity, they craved the motherland. To perpetuate slavery and colonialism, the white imperialists made up fallacious philosophical arguments that negated the selfhood of blacks. The white subject defined them as the “Other” and objectified them. Racist theorists like Thomas Jefferson, Friedrich Hegel, and Comte de Gobineau posited the black person as the antithesis of the white man. In “Notes on the State of Virginia”, Jefferson sets the “Negro” as an evil force within the nation. In Philosophy of History, Hegel argues that the “negro” stands outside the history of intellectual, technological, moral and cultural progress driven by reason. The history of the Negro stands outside of intellectual history, and so only by colonisation can the black be civilised. As Michelle Wright makes us understand, however, Senghor was to draw heavily from Gobineau in theorising negritude. Gobineau did concede the emotional and artistic component to blacks.

One possible solution to this is the use of horizontal integration strategy to ensure efficient production. This study therefore intended to determine the influence of horizontal integration strategy on the competitiveness of EPZ firms. The study was guided by two theories, namely; the resource-based view theory and the transaction economic cost theory. The study adopted the use of a questionnaire. Both quantitative and qualitative approaches were used. Descriptive technique, specifically survey was used in the research design. The target population was all the 137 EPZ firms within Kenya and the sample was drawn from this population. The stratified random sampling technique was used. The EPZ firms are situated within the 74 gazetted zones. The quantitative data that was collected was analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Scientists. Further, the significance level of each independent variable was tested against the dependent variable at 95% level of confidence using ANOVA, regression and correlation techniques. The findings of this study indicated that horizontal integration had a positive and statistically significant relationship with the competitiveness of firms in EPZ Kenya. This study recommends the inclusion of horizontal integration in the strategic plans of the different EPZ firms. This will subsequently lead to an increase in employment opportunities, real-value added growth, and foreign direct investment (KNBS, 2022). In conclusion, from the analysis of findings, horizontal integration is significant for competitiveness of firms in EPZ Kenya.
