“…The idea of a limited impact of sanctions on the Russian economy is associated with a misjudgment of the inertia nature of the economic system (Li, 2020), and the success of the Central Bank in fighting the first wave of crises, creating an "illusion of normality", will be and will be a source of trouble in the future (Cante & Lima, 2019). At the same time, different parts of the sanctions package have different timing and horizons of consequences for the economy (Chien, Sadiq, Kamran, Nawaz, Hussain, & Raza, 2021).…”

This study aims to investigate human development and financial inclusion in Russia. The global bank provided the secondary data for this study, which covered the years 1990 to 2021. This study uses vector analysis. We found that the development of human capital in Russia not only promotes financial inclusion that drives the economy, but also provides a direct impetus to the growth of the Russian economy. The role of human capital is very important in today's modern human development. It is proven that human development through human capital investment provides awareness of the importance of financial inclusion and provides productive human qualities so as to be able to provide an impetus for growth in the economy.This research contributes to adding references related to financial studies and human development including human capital. This research contributes to providing a simulation and an overview of the importance of human capital investment in promoting economic growth and financial inclusion.

“…Characterizing China and the United States as on the cusp of a new Cold War has become an extremely popular analogy in recent years 1 . Simply put, this argument asserts that China and the United States in the coming years will enter a period of significant competition, and potentially even engage in proxy wars, a la the Soviet Union and the United States in the post-WWII setting [Li 2020]. On the surface, there are, indeed, some interesting parallels between the original Cold War and the current state of the Sino-American relationship.…”

There is much pessimism as to the current state of Sino-American relations, especially since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in January 2020. Such pessimism has led to some scholars and commentators asserting that the Sino-American relationship is on the cusp of either a new Cold War or, even more alarmingly, something akin to the Peloponnesian War (via a Thucydides Trap) whereby the United States might take pre-emptive measures against China. This article rejects such analogizing and argues that, due to important technological advancements found at the intersection of the digital and fourth industrial revolutions, most of the real competition in the relationship is now occurring in cyberspace, especially with regards to the aim of asserting narratives of truth. Two key narrative battlegrounds that have raged since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic are examined: where was the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic? and who has had the most successful response to the COVID-19 pandemic?. This article shows that Sino-American competition in cyberspace over asserting their narratives of truth (related to the COVID-19 pandemic) is fierce and unhinged. Part of what is driving this competition is the challenging domestic settings politicians and officials find themselves in both China and the United States, thus, the competing narratives being asserted by both sides are predominately for domestic audiences. However, given that cyberspace connects states with foreign publics more intimately, the international aspect of this competition is also important and could result in further damage to the already fragile Sino-American relationship. Yet, whether this competition will bleed into the real world is far from certain and, because of this, doomsaying via historical analogies should be avoided.

Sino–Americanrelations and the ‘new cold war’: A useful analogy for the Middle East?

This article examines the value of the 'Cold War' analogy -which has become a commonly used shorthand to describe the Sino-American rivalry -for understanding the effects of the current great power competition in the Middle East.Instead of thinking in terms of the zero-sum logic of the Cold War, we are using the Cold War history in the Middle East as a heuristic device to sharpen our understanding of today's dilemmas. In other words, we are arguing for the benefits of thinking with the analogy rather than adopting it as a kind of conceptual framework for decision-making. Thinking with the analogy can help us identify how and why the Sino-American rivalry is shaping the Middle East's political and security context. After examining the merits of the analogy, we propose three 'lessons' from the Cold War history that can help us comprehend the potential effects of the Middle East on the Sino-American rivalry: Middle East actors can intensify the great power rivalry; Middle East conflicts may force reluctant regional actors to choose a side in the great power rivalry; and, lastly, Middle East energy resources flow in line with the producers' interests, not just the great powers' interests.
