The Smuggled Body: Embodied Experiences Of Sudanese Displacement Along The Sudan–Egypt Corridor, Marielys Padua Soto

Theses and Dissertations

The outbreak of conflict in Sudan in April 2023 triggered one of the world's largest displacement crises, forcing millions of Sudanese civilians to flee toward neighboring countries, particularly Egypt. As legal pathways became increasingly restricted following Egypt's tightening of visa policies, many asylum seekers relied on migrant smuggling networks to reach safety. This thesis examines how restrictive mobility regimes are materially experienced through the body by introducing the concept of the smuggled body, defined as the body through which the physical, emotional, and social consequences of border control, irregular mobility, and forced displacement are lived. Drawing on embodiment theory, border …

Egypt’S Accession To Brics: Hedging And Strategic Positioning In A Multipolar Order, Daria Konstantinova

Theses and Dissertations

Amid Egypt’s longstanding, multifaceted cooperation with the U.S. and Western institutions, spanning political support, economic partnerships, and IMF/World Bank programs, 2024 BRICS expansion included Egypt as one of the new group’s members. This move might be explained by leadership strategic vision, domestic constraints, and geopolitical global and regional dynamics. This research explains the drivers behind Egypt’s accession to BRICS and the way this decision reflects Egypt’s strategic positioning in a changing global order, using agency-centered approach and the theoretical framework of strategic hedging.

While existing literature on BRICS expansion partially explains the reasons behind the new members’ accession and its …

Technology, Power, And Colonial Modernity: The Making Of The Egyptian Railways, Ahmed Mohamed Rahmy

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis examines Egyptian railways as a technology of power through which modern temporal order was gradually formed, reorganized, and contested. Focusing on the period from 1850 to 1920, it argues that railway infrastructure did more than facilitate mobility, economic exchange, and imperial administration: it reorganized the temporal relations through which social life was governed and experienced. Timetables, standardized schedules, fares, penalties, stations, and administrative procedures made punctuality, regularity, and measurable time appear as neutral requirements of life, while positioning existing ecological, agricultural, religious, and communal rhythms as signs of backwardness.

The thesis draws on British official correspondence, parliamentary debates, …

Beyond Ethnic Diversity: Political Institutions And National Identification In Tanzania And Nigeria, Kemari J. Hatchett

Caroliniana Undergraduate Research Journal

As it is currently understood, postcolonial African states have faced significant challenges in the development of shared national identities within heterogeneous societies. In the context of Sub-Saharan Africa, Tanzania and Nigeria provide a comparative base for analysis. While both states emerged from British colonial rule, they later diverged in national identification patterns. Where Tanzania has historically demonstrated a higher rate of national identification among its citizens, Nigeria has held salient regional and ethnic affiliations. The present article attempts to analyze this variation with a focus on the relationships between institutional design, demographic composition, and political mobilization within both countries. Through …

Korean Soft Power: Utilizing Celebrity Influence In Cosmetics, Josephine Humphrey

PANDION: The Osprey Journal of Research and Ideas

This study examines the economic aspect of the international influence of South Korean K-pop idols. Following the separation of the Korean peninsula at the end of World War II, South Korea became a little-recognized state with relatively low influence on the international stage. South Korean culture was little known outside the peninsula, and, beginning in the 1990s, K-pop music became popular domestically but was widely unheard of globally. The technological revolution of the late 1990s, however, marked a turning point, providing South Korea with a new way to disseminate its culture through the internet and digital media. Known as the …

Contemplative Pause: Practice As Pedagogy In A Liberal Arts Classroom, Sienna R. Craig, Sid Babla, Abbey Savin

Journal of Contemplative and Holistic Education

This article discusses the integration of contemplative pedagogies – including but not limited to yoga nidra – into two case study courses at an elite private liberal arts institution. We begin by describing the structure, context, and nature of this experiment in contemplative pedagogy, considering this experiment in the context of what we call the “liberal arts promise” at a moment of heightened mental health crises across institutions of higher education and increasing public skepticism about the value(s) of higher education. The article takes as a starting point the idea that building forms of contemplative pause into the fabric of …

Us Security Re-Framing On China Peaceful Narrative In The Indo-Pacific Region, Evita Christiana, Idil Syawfi, Kishino Bawono

Global: Jurnal Politik Internasional

Amerika Serikat pada awalnya menunjukkan sikap kooperatif dengan mendukung liberalisasi ekonomi Tiongkok melalui perjanjian bilateral dan melibatkannya dalam forum multilateral, yang sejalan dengan narasi damai dalam kebijakan luar negeri Tiongkok. Hal ini membuat hubungan Amerika Serikat dan Tiongkok saling menguntungkan. Namun, sikap ini berubah ketika terjadinya krisis ekonomi global 2008 dan ketika Amerika Serikat mengeluarkan strategi Pivot to Asia yang diinisiasi pada tahun 2011, dimana Amerika Serikat menunjukkan sifat yang lebih kompetitif terhadap Tiongkok. Berdasarkan perubahan tersebut, penelitian ini fokus untuk menjawab pertanyaan, “Bagaimana Amerika Serikat membingkai ulang Narasi Damai Kebijakan Luar Negeri Tiongkok di kawasan Indo-Pasifik sebagai ancaman?” Dengan …

Konstruksi Wacana Pemberitaan Terbunuhnya Ayatollah Ali Khamenei Pada Kanal Berita Aljazeera, Muhammad Sidqon Siroj, Ibnu Hamad

Multikultura

This study analyzes how the news about the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is represented on the Al Jazeera news channel, focusing on the construction of ideology and the representation of actors in the discourse. Khamenei was killed on 28 February 2026 in a US-Israeli airstrike, an event that triggered military escalation and a contest of narratives in the Middle East. This study fills a research gap, as no previous work has critically analyzed how the killing of an Iranian leader is represented in transnational Arab media. The study uses a descriptive qualitative method with Norman Fairclough’s …

Trade Remedies And Export Deflection: Indonesia’S Mozambique Pta In Southern Africa, Ilham Dary Athallah, Hayara Khairia, Tsabita Husna

Global: Jurnal Politik Internasional

The Indonesia–Mozambique Preferential Trade Agreement (IM-PTA), signed in 2019 and in force since 6 June 2022, is Indonesia’s first bilateral trade agreement with an African state. This article asks how the agreement facilitates the diversification of Indonesian paper exports under trade-remedy pressure and how far Mozambique can function as a gateway to Southern Africa. A qualitative case study and process-tracing design covering 2010–2023 compares the treaty, implementing regulations, trade disputes, official negotiating agendas, and HS 48 (paper articles) export data. The findings show that the IM-PTA’s tariff concessions and rules of origin reduce entry costs in Mozambique and are consistent …

Localising Norms Of Moderate Islam: Lessons From Nahdlatul Ulama In Hong Kong And The United Kingdom, Rumadi Ahmad, Idris Masudi, Muh Afit Khomsani

Global: Jurnal Politik Internasional

This article examines how Nahdlatul Ulama localises moderate Islamic values abroad through its special branches (Pengurus Cabang Istimewa, PCI) in Hong Kong and the United Kingdom. Drawing on Acharya’s theory of norm localisation, it asks how PCI NU in each setting frames the Aswaja values of tasamuh (tolerance), tawassuth (moderation), and tawazun (balance), and how these values condition and account for the differences. The study uses a qualitative comparative design based on in-depth interviews with PCI NU leaders and a literature study. In Hong Kong, where members are mostly Indonesian migrant workers in a semi-authoritarian setting, the organisation operates …
