Russia’s Conflict with Ukraine: An Analysis of the Past & Present

Written by Zuha Tiwana 11:47 am

Since October 2021, the number of Russian troops at the Russia-Ukraine border has reached more than 127,000. Moscow’s decision to deploy more troops is a cause for concern for Ukraine and the NATO member states, especially the US, as they believe that Russia is preparing to invade its neighboring state. Zuha Tiwana explains that Russia’s conflict with Ukraine has now become a global issue. She argues that if the conflict persists, and NATO imposes new sanctions on Russia, the latter might retaliate by cutting off its natural gas supply to Europe.

Is China’s Soft Power Being Affected by Its Negative Global Image?

Written by Zuha Tiwana 11:47 am

China’s “wolf warrior diplomacy” and its human rights abuses have caused its global image to become increasingly negative. With China’s soft power declining, and its policies becoming aggressive, the international community has started to distrust the state. As a consequence, states like the US, Australia, and Britain have boycotted the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. The author, Zuha Tiwana, asserts that this mistrust has caused the favorability of the Belt and Road projects, among the European states, to decline. The European Union has even put investment agreements with China on hold.

Written by Zuha Tiwana 11:47 am

In Pakistan, the bureaucracy serves as the backbone in running the state machinery.

Written by Zuha Tiwana 11:47 am

The author, Zuha Tiwana, considers illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing — more commonly known by the acronym IUU — to be a global threat to marine life.

The Potential of Farming Olives in Pakistan

Written by Zuha Tiwana 11:47 am

Pakistan, an agricultural state with several types of soil, ecological zones, and climatic conditions, has enormous potential for olive cultivation. Pakistan’s cultivable land for olives is far more than that of Spain’s, yet, it has failed to fully utilize the available resources. The author, Zuha Tiwana, notes that since the 1950s, the state has launched several projects – some with the collaboration of the Italian government – to enhance Pakistan’s olive cultivation and the manufacturing of its olive products. She argues that if Pakistan wants to enter the neighboring market for these commodities, China is its most feasible option.
