“…At present, the largest economy in the Asia-Pacific region is China, so the research on the integration and sustainability of the Asia-Pacific cannot be separated from China’s factors (e.g., References [ 34 , 35 ]). At the beginning of this century, China’s successful accession to WTO included itself in the global industrial chain dominated by the United States (e.g., References [ 18 ]).…”

In globalization’s era, the sustainability of a region is inseparable from the in-depth and close economic and trade cooperation of intra-regional countries to achieve complementary advantages, intra-regional and extra-regional positive economic cycles, and stable and balanced benefits distribution. For Asia-Pacific countries, the lack of deep cooperation in the past has affected their sustainability, but this can be made up for by the RCEP agreement aimed at achieving intra-regional trade liberalization. We adopt the Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) simulation analysis method to quantitatively analyze the impact of changes in macroeconomic and international trade indicators of several intra-regional countries after implementing the RCEP tariff reduction and exemption on the RCEP. Simulation results and comparative analysis based on international relations prove that despite the interference of trade benefits conflicts and international political factors, the RCEP can still exist in long term, and effectively promote regional economic integration and sustainability in the Asia-Pacific region. It is also a development opportunity for intra-regional countries and can also be used in the context of globalization providing references for integration and sustainability in other regions.

“…RCT is in line with current research on the spread of authoritarianism, distinguishing between regime promotion and diffusion. (Vanderhill, 2013;Tansey, 2016;Chou et al 2017) Published by Emertec R&D Website: www.emertec.ca that forcible regime promotion can take place in the absence of hegemony or ideology. Moreover, different cluster types have varying diffusion dynamics.…”

Since the 2008 financial crisis, the attempts to use Karl Polanyi's framework to make sense of current developments have multiplied, producing a noticeable and lively debate. This debate centres on the notion of double movement put forward by the Hungarian thinker in his masterpiece -The Great Transformation. The paper is a contribution to this debate. The first part addresses a series of questions that make the interpretations of the double movement advanced so far not very compelling. To this end, a close reading of Polanyi's text, with the aim of dismantling and rearticulating its analytical structure, is carried out. The upshot is a dynamic and multistage picture of the double process as a recurrent and vortex-like attempt to progressively commodify natural and social resources against growing opposition. The second part employs this revised reading of the double movement to explain the collapse of the postwar consensus politics, the success of the neoliberal counterrevolution and the development of the knowledge economy. The claim put forward here is that, in addition to sustained efforts to deepen previous forms of commodification (land, labour and money), we are witnessing a fullblown attempt to turn knowledge into a new fictitious commodity. Building on the idea of digital Taylorism, the paper tries to show that information and computer technologies are being used to standardise and routinise a growing number of intellectual, professional and managerial activities which were able to escape previous attempts in this direction. Once again, at the forefront of this process there are powerful state actors, who are using New Public Management policies strategically to: support the enclosure of intangible cultural resources through the creation of intellectual property rights regimes, and undermine the counter-reaction of negatively affected societal actors by rising the collective action problems they face.

“…Among the many criticisms that have been levelled at Trump, and the 2016 US presidential election cycle that brought him to office, it has been said that it may have damaged global perceptions of democracy and severely undermined America’s efforts to promote its form of government across the world (Bremmer, 2016; Carothers, 2017). At its worst, this would enable various non-democratic regimes to continue the argument that their tight grip on power is preferable to democracy and to justify the maintenance of their oppressive rule (Denyer, 2016; Kluver et al, 2016; Chou et al, 2017; Pan et al, 2019). This article seeks to hold such criticisms up to empirical scrutiny by focusing on one such oppressive regime – the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) – and the ways in which the 2016 election and the rise of Trump were framed in a key state newspaper, Arab News .…”

The 2016 US presidential election, which brought Donald J. Trump to power, raised concerns that his ascendency could undermine US democracy promotion and enable illiberal regimes to resist calls for reform. This article seeks to hold this argument up to empirical scrutiny via a framing analysis of coverage of the US election in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). To some extent, the analysis supports the claim: throughout the election, the KSA media offered several substantive criticisms of democracy. However, Trump’s campaign also served as a catalyst for a discussion about the merits of democracy, revealing some admiration for its key principles, and an acknowledgement of the challenges it faces in the 21st century.
