ABSTRACT The Covid-19 pandemic posed a tough challenge for Indian English language newspapers. During the Covid lockdowns in India, the production processes of newspapers were severely disrupted as the editorial, sales and production staff found it difficult to report to offices. Faced with a crisis, newspaper organisations had little choice but to rapidly augment their production systems, processes and employee workflows to ensure the continuity of publication. Even though many employees worked from home, most Indian newspapers survived the pandemic and eventually designed a more effective and efficient production process. This study documents the survival strategies of English language Indian newspapers during the Covid lockdowns in India.

The historical analysis of the pursuit of geopolitical power and influence of Western middle powers as well as their contribution to the preservation of white racial dominance is of critical importance in understanding the dynamics of this current era of globalisation that has led to the sharp divide between the global north and south. Paula Hastings’ Dominion over Palm and Pine centres on the case of Canada, as it incrementally challenged the status quo established by Western powers in the English-speaking Caribbean throughout the last quarter of the 19th century and into the 21st century. Her description of the failed aspirations of Canadian ‘unionist’ politicians and business leaders interested in annexing parts of the Caribbean sheds light on this overlooked aspect of Canada’s long-term nation building and economic development goals, an analysis that has been overshadowed by the conventional historical narrative of Canada as a ‘peaceable kingdom’. Hastings argues that the never-ending aspiration of the consolidation of an ‘overseas maritime province’ (p. 217) was, and continues to be, ‘extinguished’ (p. 212) by powerful interests in Canada that remain deeply concerned about issues of racial integration that could result from territorial expansion into the Caribbean. In doing so, her work challenges the U.S. and British-centric narratives of imperialism, thus contributing to a more holistic vision of the social, economic, international, and political history of the Caribbean, while shedding light on the expansionist desires of middle powers
对西方中等强国追求地缘政治权力和影响力的历史分析，以及它们对维护白人种族主导地位的贡献，对于理解当前全球化时代的动态至关重要，全球化时代导致了全球南北之间的尖锐分歧。葆拉·黑斯廷斯(Paula Hastings)的《对棕榈和松树的统治》(Dominion over Palm and Pine)以加拿大为中心，从19世纪最后25年到21世纪，加拿大逐渐挑战西方列强在讲英语的加勒比地区建立的现状。她对加拿大“联合派”政客和商界领袖企图吞并加勒比海部分地区的失败愿望的描述，揭示了加拿大长期国家建设和经济发展目标中被忽视的一个方面，这一分析被加拿大作为“和平王国”的传统历史叙述所掩盖。黑斯廷斯认为，加拿大的强大利益集团对加勒比海地区的领土扩张可能导致的种族融合问题深感担忧，因此加拿大对巩固一个“海外海上省份”(第217页)的永不停息的渴望，已经并将继续被“消灭”(第212页)。在此过程中，她的作品挑战了以美国和英国为中心的帝国主义叙事，从而为加勒比地区的社会、经济、国际和政治历史提供了更全面的视角，同时也揭示了中等大国的扩张主义欲望

The Indo-Pacific region has been at the centre of competition between different world powers, being the hub of interaction between state and non-state actors from time immemorial. It is a geopolitical area that spans the Indian and the Pacific Oceans, stretching from the west coast of the US to the west coast of India and beyond. It comprises a 24-nation regional framework taking in the tropical waters of the Indian Ocean, the western and central Pacific Ocean, and the seas connecting the two in the general area of Indonesia. The Indo-Pacific region plays an important role in the economic, social and political life of its littoral countries, and the interest of major powers. Since 2011, the term Indo-Pacific has been used increasingly in the global strategic/geopolitical discourse; and, as a framework, the Indo-Pacific is expected to create a connected multipolar region that must be governed by commonly agreed international norms, rules, and practices.

ABSTRACT This article investigates how resentment among Malaysians towards Rohingya refugees become amplified on social media during the COVID-19 crisis. The focus of this article is the public discourse of Malaysians on Twitter, regarding Rohingya refugee issues. Through a qualitative content analysis of Tweets from Malaysian users during the country’s Movement Control Order, this article argues that the cause of Malaysians’ grievances was due to the citizens’ echo chambering of implicit insecurities. A deeper problem was also rooted in the nation where the distinction between refugees and undocumented migrants does not exist, and the inconsistencies of government policies towards refugees.

ABSTRACT India’s foreign policy in South Asia has recently suffered revisions following increased Chinese presence in the region. Since 2007 the Maldives has also witnessed a tremendous change in its foreign policy from the ‘India First’ to the ‘India Out’ campaign. Islamic fundamentalism is on the rise in the Maldives and is impacting its foreign policy choices. China has shown great interest in the Maldives. While the Maldives has signed a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with China and recorded enormous Chinese investments in various projects, the Indian ground in the island state has shrunk in the last decade. This article discusses how the Maldives has realised its geostrategic significance in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR) and how India has succeeded in restoring its traditional clout in Malé after the return of President Ibrahim Solih in 2018. It also discusses the Indian role in the Maldives during the pandemic and the signing of several Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs), maritime security understandings and partnerships with the United States in the Indo-Pacific in view of groupings such as the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (QUAD) and Indo-Pacific Economic Framework for Prosperity (IPEF). Also examined is how the sharing of the Free and Open Indo-Pacific vision (FOIP) has brightened the scope of India’s relations with the Maldives.

ABSTRACT The paper compares the foreign relations and trade policies of Iceland and Malta and policy reforms in 1964–2004, and the global economic and political context within which they evolved. In a historical comparative perspective, Malta and Iceland exhibited contrasting political processes and electoral systems, dissimilar economic structures and natural resource abundancies and antipodal locations with different foreign security considerations. Their economic structures, policies and institutions became more akin in the 21st century as a result of their participation in the growing economic and political cooperation of Europe.

ABSTRACT The Coronation of King Charles III is not just a British pageant. In his Coronation oath, King Charles will swear to govern the peoples of each Commonwealth Realm, including Australia, according to their laws and customs. Amidst the glitter of the Coronation regalia we find the Sword of Mercy, the Sword of Temporal Justice, the Sceptre with the Cross, which symbolises legal power and justice, and the Sceptre with the Dove, which represents equity and mercy. Fundamental to the ceremony is the notion that executive power must be exercised with justice, mercy, equity and in accordance with the rule of law. In times when governments often act with stark disregard to these fundamental principles, what action can be taken to restore government integrity within Australia and across the Commonwealth?
