TL;DR: For instance, this article found that most U.S. college students indicated openmindedness and global awareness as characteristics of global-mindedness, while many Japanese college students emphasized flexibility to work on different teams and possession of foreign language skills.
Abstract: It is to be expected that a significant difference should exist in the development of global-mindedness between students with study-abroad experience and those with none. This study seeks to examine how U.S. college students, in comparison with Japanese college students, describe the concept of global-mindedness. The target population for this survey was current undergraduate college students in the U.S. and Japan. In the background section of the survey, I indicated each student’s year in college and whether or not she or he had studied abroad. The next section of the survey sought to measure global preparedness. 209 U.S. college students and 120 Japanese college students responded to this survey. U.S. college students and Japanese students responded in fundamentally similar ways, with some notable differences. Both characterized awareness of other cultures as an essential characteristic of globally minded adults. However, most U.S. college students indicated open-mindedness and global awareness as characteristics of global-mindedness, while many Japanese college students indicated flexibility to work on different teams and possession of foreign language skills. Japanese college students emphasized individual strength, identity, and language ability, whereas U.S. college students emphasized ability to understand other cultures. On study abroad experience, the outcomes did not show measurable differences in global mindedness between those with and those without international experience, either among Japanese or US students. This study highlights differences in the ways Japanese and U.S. college students think about their careers and the degree and kinds of global preparedness necessary to accomplish career goals.

Abstract: What is global leadership? How can we develop global leadership for a university? This study was conducted using the
qualitative approach through in-depth interviews of eight selected top leaders in a selected university. Based on the in-depth
interviews, the findings discussed are as follows; Global leadership is related to diversity. Global leaders need to be developed
with additional competencies to lead a university and to be able to compete worldwide. Global leadership has to operate in
diverse situations. This means that a global leader has to understand different cultures, different ideas and different beliefs. So
a global leader has to understand leading in diversity, which requires a different set of competencies. These include attitudes,
skills and knowledge. This study is significant because it fills a gap in current knowledge regarding the experience that leaders
perceived to be important in understanding and developing global leadership.

TL;DR: In the post-Cold War era, emerging powers have been persuaded and pressured to take on a larger share of responsibilities in global security to match their rising status in the international community as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Peacekeeping is a classic liberal internationalist project.1 The changing nature of global governance, shifts in power, and new emerging conflicts and threats have prompted changes in approaches to peacekeeping. But one thing has not changed—peacekeeping at its core supports the structure of the liberal international order. In the post-Cold War era, the role of emerging powers in peacekeeping operations (PKOs) is becoming more important. Although traditional “great powers” tended to be more involved in peacekeeping because of their enormous resources and the nature of new challenges to the global order (the economic crisis, rise of BRICs, proliferation of nontraditional security threats as discussed in the previous chapters), these countries, especially the United States, are finding it necessary to cooperate with lesser powers to maintain peace and stability. In this context, emerging middle powers have been persuaded and pressured to take on a larger share of responsibilities in global security to match their rising status in the international community. Some middle powers have taken the initiative to become more actively involved in peacekeeping because they have calculated that it is in their national interest to increase their soft power and they believe that it will give them greater leverage in future diplomatic matters.
TL;DR: This article examined the effect of cross-cultural experiences on perceptions of the effectiveness of self-protective leadership and found that prior work experience in a multinational company and receiving training in WMP are associated with more negative perceptions of SPL, whereas having lived abroad has a more complex relationship with SPL.
Abstract: In this study, we examine the effect of cross-cultural experiences on perceptions of the effectiveness of self-protective leadership (SPL). We use survey data from 15 non-western countries collected in the second wave of the GLOBE leadership project to analyze the relationship between the global experiences of non-western managers and the leadership schemas they hold. We examined three types of global experience – working in a multinational corporation, being trained in western management practices (WMP), and living abroad – and the leadership schema of self-protective leadership (SPL). These results show that prior work experience in a multinational company and receiving training in WMP are associated with more negative perceptions of SPL, whereas having lived abroad has a more complex relationship with SPL. These results provide empirical evidence for the link between global experiences and cognitive schemas about leadership. Non-western managers with international work experience and training hold SPL schemas that are significantly different from the SPL schemas of their peers with no such experience. Further, consistent with Implicit Leadership Theory (ILT) and recent research that links leadership effectiveness to expectations about behaviors associated with gender stereotypes, we find that SPL, a leadership style that encompasses behaviors that are traditionally associated with a male stereotype (conflict inducement, procedure orientation, status enhancement), is viewed more negatively by female managers compared to their male counterparts. Practical implications of our findings are provided.
TL;DR: In this article , the authors argue that the existing situation presents a challenge as well as an opportunity for emerging powers like India to take a leadership role in a reformed new world order.
Abstract: Recent developments in climate change-related negotiations indicate that there are emerging conflicts of interest between Small Island Developing States (SIDS) and emerging powers like India and China. Emerging powers have to address their developmental concerns while pursuing aspirations related to leadership in global governance. To take a leadership role in global governance structures relating to climate change, emerging powers need to pursue their interests while accommodating the concerns of their potential followers, which include SIDS. Increased conflict of interests between emerging powers and other sets of vulnerable countries could lead to adverse implications for the North–South divide in international environmental relations, which in turn will impact their leadership aspirations. Using the example of leadership in international relations and the statements made by the SIDS at COP26, this article concludes that the existing situation presents a challenge as well as an opportunity for emerging powers like India to take a leadership role in a reformed new world order.
