Decades of diametrically opposed courses

In 1988, a young professor of international relations at Fudan University in China travelled the length and breadth of the USA for half a year. He wanted to understand that great country in depth, at a time when the Soviet Union was coming to an end, Japan was challenging the US for the status of the world’s leading economy and the latter was intensifying its neoliberal process begun in the 70s.

Since the Taliban takeover in Afghanistan, on 15^th August 2021, world leaders have shown great concerns about women’s rights in the country. The interim Afghan Taliban government holds that the women’s rights issues are the internal issues of the country and the world has no right to meddle in its internal matters. However, Afghanistan is a signatory of multiple international treaties that bound it to provide equal rights to women and ensure human rights.

The crisis has erupted in the United Kingdom, particularly in the deindustrialised regions of the North. It’s a return to the 1970s, without the IRA, but with an even greater potential for inter-community conflict, due to the growth of parallel societies, the result of half a century of reckless immigration policies, in line with the current economic paradigm, orientated solely towards quick profits and the concentration of wealth.

For anyone who still doubts that Western societies are disintegrating, the opening of the 2024 Paris Olympics is proof enough. The French spent more than $1.5 billion to insult half the world and to disgrace a country known for its high culture.

The country has caught the attention of international powers and newspapers since the 9/11 plane crashes into the World Trade Center. Since then, it continued to remain in the headlines. However, Afghanistan has always been discussed as anything but a chessboard of global politics or a security threat to regional and global peace. These aspects hold significance in shaping the Afghan predicament, but the country’s internal dynamics are also responsible for chaos and turmoil in Afghanistan.

In May 2024, the Starlink satellite internet constellation began operating in Indonesia. The ‘country of a thousand islands’ has become the sixth Asian state to allow the operation of a US internet giant on its territory.

Pakistan’s Bureau of Emigration and Overseas Employment’s recent report reveals that the country observed an unprecedented increase in migration in the last two years.
