I am an independent researcher from Bucharest although some times I collaborate with different institutions like Bucharest University and different online platforms or think tanks dedicated to understanding social sciences and international security.

Therefore much would be gained if the barriers or autism between academic disciplines are brought down so as to give opportunity to a enriching dialogue.

Having as a theoretical background Robert Gilpin's hegemonic stability theory along with democratic peace theory, the claims made here are that a prolonged US-China interdependence may have as result America's eroding republican institutions and China's liberalisation. A less democratic America and a slightly more liberal (but still authoritarian) China will probably be more aggressive one to each other and destabilize the international system.

Iran and India Between Regional Governance and Global Challenges

Challenges of the Knowledge Society, 2018

Such might be the case of Iran if US and other important players toss away JPCOA.

As such, a friendly Islamic Republic could a solution to many of the problems in the Middle East. Present study focuses hypothesis around a central questions: "Are two civilisational-states such as India and Iran able to start an alliance in order to fill the power void looming across their borders where an unstable Pakistan and a revanchist Afghanistan may very well fail after the pull out of the international peacekeepi...
