文摘Focusing on investment security along the Belt and Road(B&R)routes,this study analyzes the geopolitical environment(GE)of countries(regions)along the B&R routes from two dimensions:political and business environment(PBE)and political orientation.The results show that since the proposal of the B&R Initiative in 2013,the PBE of these countries(regions)has shown slight improvement but with significant spatial disparities,presenting a pattern of better conditions in the eastern and western regions and poorer conditions in the central regions.There is no strong spatial dependence in the PBE among these countries(regions),but a weak homogenization trend toward improvement is observed.Low-scoring countries(regions)are mainly located in former Commonwealth of Independent States(CIS),the Middle East,and the Indochina Peninsula.These countries(regions)exhibit weak interconnections,demonstrating a characteristic of“similarity without harmony.”(a Confucian concept describing nations sharing superficial traits but lacking substantive cooperation).Therefore,the B&R construction should adopt a clustered and contiguous breakthrough strategy.The evaluation of political orientation reveals significant political divergence among B&R countries(regions),with varying attitudes toward China.Moreover,as pro-China sentiment increases,the PBE tends to deteriorate.This negative correlation suggests that countries(regions)actively engaging in the B&R Initiative generally face political instability and economic underdevelopment,and seek to leverage the B&R Initiative for domestic growth.Consequently,while prioritizing investment security,it is important for the B&R construction to actively promote Chinese values in order to garner support and participation from countries(regions)with more favorable PBE.Given the generally underdeveloped PBE and political polarization among B&R countries(regions),China urgently needs to develop a geopolitical theory aligned with the B&R's geopolitical model to safeguard its advancement.Simultaneously,China should reshape geopolitical narratives to reclaim discourse power in political interpretation.This study provides preliminary insights into cross-country(regional)political polarization and contributes to advancing GE research.

文摘The paper addresses the impacts of political exits on capital structure policies,through studying the impact of the Brexit deal on the UK's companies listed at FTSE 100 as a practical case.The study is divided into two periods:the first before the Brexit deal(2010-2015)and the second after the referendum until Brexit(2016-2021).Data were collected from the annual reports of the UK companies and the FTSE 100 database.Moreover,capital structure policies were studied by analyzing the determinants such as long-term debt over total equity,profitability,tangibility,liquidity,propensity to pay dividends,size,and political factor-Brexit.The results show that there is a direct relationship between political exits and capital structure.Also,the results show that the financial ratios are different between the two periods(before and after Brexit),where it seems that the capital structure variables were affected starting from the referendum period,political negotiations between the two parties,and then Brexit(2016-2021).In addition,the correlation matrix shows that long-term debt over total equity has a negative correlation with profitability,liquidity,and political factors,where it seems that long-term debt over total equity has a positive correlation with tangibility,size,and paying dividends.Moreover,the results show that political shocks were affecting the FTSE 100 performance starting from 2016 until 2021.The study could be useful for financial and economic academics.Moreover,the study could be helpful for EU members and the UK government,taking into consideration the interests of the UK and EU where any future policies or laws will affect the financial and economic sectors of the two parties.
文摘This study examines the impact of political polarization on youth engagement in Brazil,focusing on the intersection of historical legacies,cultural dynamics,and modern political influences.Tracing the evolution of polarization from the military dictatorship era to contemporary politics under Jair Bolsonaro,the study explores how polarized rhetoric,misinformation,and digital media have reshaped the political landscape for young Brazilians.Data for the study were collected through a survey of 159 college students aged 18-25 from public and private institutions across Brazil,complemented by 10 interviews with youth activists and party leaders from the Workers’Party(PT)and the Liberal Party(PL).These methods aimed to evaluate how polarization affects young people’s beliefs,political identities,behaviors,engagement levels,and ability to participate in constructive political discourse.The findings reveal that while polarization fosters hostility and deepens ideological divides,it also inspires youth activism by creating a sense of identity and belonging.Education,digital information channels,and the lack of representation in leadership roles emerge as key factors shaping youth engagement.Despite challenges,the research underscores hope:young Brazilians display resilience,critical awareness,and a shared desire for accountability and inclusivity.This study highlights the potential of youth to bridge divides and lead Brazil toward a more collaborative and democratic future.
文摘Background:The Indian healthcare sector has undergone significant transformations due to private equity(PE)investments.The influx of capital has facilitated the expansion of infrastructure and improvement in services,particularly in urban and semi-urban areas.However,this transformation raises critical concerns regarding equity in healthcare access,rising health costs,and the potential commercialization of healthcare services.Methods:Employing a critical political economy approach,this study examines the effects of PE investments in Indian healthcare.It integrates theories from Antonio Gramsci,David Harvey and Nancy Fraser to analyze the implications of these investments.The research draws on secondary data from industry reports,government statistics and academic literature to assess the trends,impacts and policy responses related to PE in healthcare.Results:PE investments have led to increased privatization,rising healthcare costs and a focus on profit-driven models.Despite expanding infrastructure,access to quality healthcare remains inequitable,particularly for marginalized and rural populations.The analysis highlights the tension between capital accumulation and public health needs,showing how PE investments prioritize profitability over equity.The commodification of healthcare reflects broader neoliberal policies that undermine public health objectives and exacerbate inequalities.Conclusion:While PE investments drive innovation and expansion,they also pose challenges to affordability and equitable access.Policy interventions are necessary to regulate PE investments and ensure that healthcare remains accessible and equitable for all.

文摘The legacy of rural-urban developmental imbalance and China’s household registration institution(i.e.,the hukou system)stratify Chinese citizens into three populations—rural villagers,urban dwellers,and rural-to-urban migrants.These groups differ in values,lifestyles,and socioeconomic status.They have also been assigned to different tiers of government control and services based upon their location and hukou identities.Effective governance of these diverse and divided populations in urbanizing China requires a deeper understanding of their potentially different political orientations and attitudes toward government and why such differences exist.However,despite their demographic significance—by 2014,China’s rural-to-urban migrant population had reached to 253 million—rural-to-urban migrants remain unrepresented in studies of Chinese people’s political trust,which focus more on either rural villagers or urban dwellers.This study addresses this gap by situating Chinese rural-to-urban migrants at the center of triadic analytical framework and comparing their trust in local(i.e.,county-level)government to two reference groups:rural villagers and urban dwellers.We utilize data from the China Family Panel Study(CFPS)in 2014 and employ the propensity score matching(PSM)method to match rural-to-urban migrants and rural villagers with comparable propensities to migrate.This matched comparison found that rural-to-urban migrants are 4.91%less trusting of their county government than their rural villager counterparts.This result reflects a negative“urban effect”:The urban society may erode political trust compared to rural environments.Then the method of mechanical matching(MM)is used to compare rural-to-urban migrants and urban dwellers.This matched comparison found that rural-to-urban migrants are 3.2%more trusting than their urban counterparts.This indicates that the migrant identity(i.e.,being a rural hukou holders in cities)is associated with higher trust levels.This geography of political trust signals a more complex rural-urban divide in the citizen-government relationship in China.Different populations’various relationship with local government therefore merits additional attention to place-based and population-specific policies to rebuild trust.
