China and the United States: Responsible Stakeholder or Emerging Threat?

Abstract: The election campaign produced nary a word about China. Rest assured, once the new administration is in place, we will be hearing a great deal about the "China challenge." The central question has not changed: whether to engage China on equal terms, or treat it as a potentially hostile competitor. Judging from the substantial number of Clinton-era appointees on Presidentelect Barack Obama's foreign-policy team, the answer will be engagement. Nevertheless, how engagement is practiced- whether it is a philosophical commitment or simply a reversible tactic, for instance-compels attention to the fundamental guidelines of China policy. Here, then, are thoughts about the guidelines: * The People's Republic of China and the U.S. have fundamentally different approaches to international affairs. As a PRC official once told visiting Americans, "China is more concerned with its own internal development and the U.S. is most concerned with trying to maintain international order." In a word, China is rising, but the United States has risen; and for China, the overwhelming priority is to continue promoting rapid economic development, not challenge the United States for Asian or global leadership. * Despite the two countries' numerous intersecting interests, starting with a high degree of economic interdependence, mutual concerns about global warming, and restraining North Korea's nuclear-weapons development, many senior Chinese leaders and analysts view the United States with suspicion. As Wang Jisi, a top PRC America watcher, has written: "The Chinese-U.S. relationship remains beset by more profound differences than any other bilateral relationship between major powers in the world today." That view is shared by both China's so-called fourth and fifth generation of leaders. * Thus, while appeals from American officials to China to join the United States as a "responsible stakeholder" in world affairs are a positive development, they have not been backed by consistent action. Each country has its own view of what global responsibility means. And each has taken steps-e.g., China with the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, arms deals with Russia, and a missile buildup opposite Taiwan; the United States with two wars in the Middle East, Central Asian basing, security ties with Japan, and continued arms sales to Taiwan-that are regarded by the other as irresponsible. * Marring the opportunity to really engage China is a view, which runs especially deep in the Pentagon, that China represents a threat to the United States-because of its economic power, its energy needs, and its increasing military spending. …

Стратегія національної безпеки США як інструмент підтримки глобального лідерства та міжнародного порядку за адміністрації Б. Обами та Д. Трампа.

Abstract: The article attempts a comparative analysis of the “US National Security Strategy” by B. Obama’s democratic administration and the Republican’s D. Trump. The problems of US support for global leadership and international order were the main categories of comparison. These problems are on time now, because of the end of the bipolarity era and the development of a new system of international relations in which America should take a prominent place. The differences in the treatment of these problems were revealed not only in the documents of both administrations, but also in the “National Security Strategy” that were adopted in 2010 and 2015 for the presidency of B. Obama. Conducted a comparative analysis, the author came to the conclusion about the evolution of approaches to the definition of US global leadership in documents adopted by the administration of B. Obama that embodied in the “renewal of leadership” to its “approval”. Regarding the international order, the US under B. Obama’s presidency was guided by a strategy of “strategic restraint” and “strategic patience”. D. Trump’s administration also has the goal of achieving and retaining leadership, but primarily focusing on the national interests of America, its consolidation, rather than a comprehensive engagement in world affairs. The issue of maintaining international order also varies from a detailed review of Obama’s strategy to focus on the regional level in D. Trump one. Differences in understanding of the maintenance of international order are embodied in the characterization of the partner states and allies of the USA, in particular, relations with China, cooperation with international organizations and involvement in the settlement of conflicts and global problems. If the democrats were guided by the embodiment of the policy of multilateralism, the Republicans appeal to the principled realism. In the document D. Trump’s administration does not refuse of the leadership, but the methods of its implementation are shaken, guided by the slogan “America first” and the idea if the US grows, then the whole world is growing.

Analysis of the European Women Entrepreneurship in STEM Fields

Abstract: Nowadays, the world is a highly interconnected and competitive place, presenting many opportunities but also many challenges to be faced. Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) are the core subject areas that will develop innovations directly related to everyday life. There are a lot of products and services created from the knowledge of STEM. STEM competencies are key in a society that wishes to reach high levels of productivity and competitiveness. STEM skills support a range of high-end activities such as the discovery of new energy sources, improvement of supercomputing capabilities, and advances in artificial intelligence (AI). It also plays a role in enhancing the Internet of Things technology, which will improve a patient’s quality of life and ultimately, propose solutions to the most urgent and complex challenges of our time. The European Union is a global leader in gender equality, but there are still several stereotypes that need to be challenged. According to a report from the European Institute for Gender Equality, achieving gender equality in STEM topics could add 1.2 million jobs to the job market, increasing Europe’s GDP to between €610–820 billion by 2050. According to the State of Women-Owned Businesses Report 2019 (American Express), the number of female entrepreneurs has grown, with the number of businesses owned by women increasing by 114% over the past 20 years. STEM education has become a priority for leaders around the world as it creates a globalized economy based on knowledge and technology. According to OECD reports, engagement with STEM topics encourages innovation by educating young people in critical thinking and the use of evidence for decision-making purposes. In the near future, the most sought-after professionals in the job market will be trained in innovation, creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, problem solving, and the application of knowledge to real-life problems. This study is focused on analyzing the characteristics of women entrepreneurs in STEM fields in Europe. It will try to identify the main differences between the European countries in terms of their characteristics, policies, challenges, and barriers. The analysis will be covering a range of economic, social, psychological, and educational variables. A range of different sources was used, e.g., Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM), WDBD Database, and Eurostat.
