By mapping out the key areas of focus, prominent researchers, influential journals, and collaborative networks, this analysis provides valuable insights. These insights can facilitate future joint research endeavors, enhance collaboration, and promote the sharing of knowledge and best practices among researchers globally.

The Role of International Cooperation in the Chinese Food Security Strategy

China's food security strategy is based on the principle of self-reliance. In the light of its historical experience, Beijing approaches the issue of attracting external resources in this area with caution. The integration of external vector into the national strategy has been gradual, from the assumption that external resources can be used in critical situations to a comprehensive vision of how they can contribute to domestic development. Along the way, China has progressively introduced measures to support domestic producers under the "bringing in" and "going out" policies and to promote international cooperation in food and agriculture. This was designed to reduce the pressure on domestic resources and contribute to the formation of a supportive external environment that favours the development of modern agriculture at home. As a result, there has been adopted the formula "utilising two markets, two resources": the external vector has become an important complementary element in ensuring food security. Along with its integration into the national strategy, there are trends towards systematising and scaling up. Under Xi Jinping's leadership, there has been strengthened interministerial coordination in planning the development of international cooperation in food and agriculture and expanded the tools used, from innovative formats for science and technology cooperation to more active participation in the global governance agenda on food security. In its efforts to shape a supportive external environment, China is endeavouring to take a proactive stance. This is reflected both in greater involvement in regional and international organisations on the food and agriculture agenda and in the promotion of its own initiatives.

Inclusive education in Japan and its role in international cooperation: analysis of a project for children with disabilities in Mongolia

This study explores the influence of educational ideologies and practices of donor countries on the educational systems in recipient countries in the context of international cooperation. Previous research on international education cooperation has focused on international cooperation policies, ignoring the educational systems of both donor and recipient countries. This study seeks to fill this gap by examining how Japan’s dualistic model of inclusive education is reflected in the Strengthening Teachers’ Ability and Reasonable Treatments for Children with Disabilities (START) project in Mongolia. This study reviews the literature on inclusive education in Japan and Mongolia, and analyzes documents produced through the project. It finds that despite some instances of inclusive practices in Japanese schools, special needs education in Japan is still predicated on individualized and medicalized approaches to disabilities. Conversely, Mongolia has struggled to provide children with disabilities with accessible and quality schooling since its transition from a socialist to a capitalist regime in the early 1990s. The START project aims to identify children’s disabilities as early as possible, provide individualized support and guidance, and develop educational settings that allow the inclusion of children with disabilities in their peer groups. In implementing the project, Japanese-style inclusive education is negotiated between Mongolian teachers and officials rather than imposed by Japanese experts. By embracing the dualistic nature of Japanese inclusive education, Mongolia can better promote the ideal of inclusion for all children.

KAZAKHSTAN IN EURASIAN REGIONALISM: PROBLEM STATEMENT

This article raises an important issue of Kazakhstan’s potential to transcend the traditional understanding of Eurasian regionalism, which is mainly associated with the post-Soviet space, including the Eurasian Economic Union. The authors question the broadening of the definition of “Eurasian regionalism” and assess new opportunities for Kazakhstan’s participation in the Eurasian regional process within a broader continental context. Approaching Eurasian regionalism from a new perspective allows us to consider Kazakhstan not only as a participant in the post-Soviet space, but also as a key player at the continental level. The article raises the question of Kazakhstan’s capabilities in the context of Eurasian regionalism, given its geopolitical location and economic potential; the limitations of Kazakhstan’s participation in regional initiatives such as the EAEU and SCO compared to global trends and roles in the region. The article examines the new challenge for Kazakhstan and other Central Asian countries as maintaining independence in the face of changes in the geopolitical environment; the role of international cooperation and integration for Kazakhstan as a strategic element in its foreign policy and economic development. The necessity of diversity of external relations and strategic partnership for Kazakhstan in the conditions of multi-vector approach is emphasized. The article also points out the importance of Kazakhstan’s active participation in international integration processes and its role in global production chains and infrastructure projects to strengthen the economy and increase the country’s status in the global community.

Taxation and the Realisation of Socioeconomic Rights in Africa: What Is the Role of International Cooperation?

International standards and regulatory aspects of the right to education

It is indicated that the right to education is a fundamental natural right of a "second generation” person, a significant sphere of life of people, states and the entire world community, the implementation of which contributes to socio­economic development and even comprehensive development of the individual. The importance of ensuring the right to education is due to the fact that this right is considered in two aspects: as the right to education itself; as a means to realize other human rights in relation to the goals of sustainable development. Despite the special significance of the realization of the right to education, at today's stage, the problem of ensuring access to education for all remains acute and relevant for many states. In addition, the lack of a universal model of education at the international level causes a significant disparity in ensuring access to education in different states, which necessitates international legal cooperation.
 The article is devoted to the study of the value characteristics of education in the international aspect. Based on the analysis of international and regional acts, education is presented by the author as a value of international law, which contributes to the reflection of actual issues of the implementation of the constitutional right to education. The author comes to the conclusion that the role of international cooperation in the field of education is growing, affecting the broadest strata of the population of the entire globe. Special attention is paid to understanding the principle of equality of the right to education. An analysis of international acts in the field of equal right to education is carried out. The development of the right to education in modern conditions of the development of statehood is indicated. The main directions of international legal cooperation in the field of ensuring the right to affordable and quality education for all are considered. The problems of ensuring the right to education at the universal level are highlighted, including those related to changes in the education system caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. The purpose of the work is to identify the features of the international legal mechanisms for ensuring the right to education, which was achieved with the help of general scientific (dialectical method, methods of analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction) and private scientific methods (legal analysis, comparative legal method) which used in the work. The formulated conclusions show the need for further improvement of international cooperation of states in the field of providing affordable and high-quality education for all, taking into account the conditions of modern society. The obtained results of the study confirm the importance of the right to education as international and national law, and even the influence of international standards of education on domestic mechanisms of its implementation.

The role of international cooperation in the development of vocational education in Ukraine

AbstractSince gaining independence, Ukraine has recognised the need to reform its vocational education and training (VET) system to better align with new economic realities. This necessity was largely driven by the country's increasing openness to the world and its desire to integrate with the European Union, which became especially pronounced after the Euromaidan protests in 2014. As a result, the government has pursued policies that are more closely aligned with the European Union. This led to greater international cooperation in the sphere of VET in Ukraine. The study on which this article reports analyses the impact of international organisations and cooperation programmes, as well as actions, initiatives and projects, on the changes and reforms in the Ukrainian VET system from 2013 to 2022 on normative and institutional levels. We adopt a theoretical framework that explains the areas and instruments of influence on policymaking in education used by international organisations. The method applied in the study is interviews with experts from international projects and initiatives currently active in Ukraine. Our findings indicate that international cooperation programmes have had a significant impact on the development of vocational education in Ukraine, particularly in areas such as the governance of the VET system, public‐private partnerships, quality assurance, qualifications frameworks, and digitalisation.

Climate Justice in Indonesian Environmental Protection: Past, Present and Future Challenges

Climate justice is an increasingly relevant topic in today’s world, as climate change and its impacts continue to affect vulnerable communities disproportionately. This research aims to examine the concept of climate justice, its various dimensions, and the challenges and opportunities associated with achieving it. The paper begins by defining climate justice, which is based on the principle that those who are least responsible for climate change are the ones who are most affected by it. It argues that climate justice should be viewed not only as a moral issue but also as a legal and political one. The paper explores the different dimensions of climate justice, including distributive, procedural, and transformative justice. Distributive justice refers to the fair distribution of the benefits and burdens of climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts. Procedural justice concerns the fair and inclusive decision-making processes that involve affected communities in climate action. Transformative justice involves the fundamental changes needed in society to address the root causes of climate change and promote a more sustainable and just future. The paper also examines the challenges and opportunities associated with achieving climate justice, including the need for political will, the role of international cooperation, and the importance of grassroots activism. It concludes by highlighting the urgency of addressing climate change and the need for a holistic approach that prioritizes the well-being of all communities, especially those most vulnerable to its impacts.

Review of Land Use/Cover Change Research in China— Visual Analysis based on Bibliometrics

Since the mid-20th century, the global population has increased dramatically, and human activities have encroached on a large number of natural spaces, resulting in drastic land use/cover changes. A series of ecological security problems took place as a result, such as climate change, environmental pollution, and resource shortage, posing severe challenges to global sustainable development. As the largest and the most populous developing country in the world, China’s land use/cover change is more prominent compared to that of other countries. Therefore, the comprehensive analysis of land use/cover change in China is of great significance in dealing with global change, repairing ecological damage, and alleviating the contradiction between man and land. Based on the literature of land use/cover change in China from 2012 to 2022 in the Web of Science database, this paper analyzes the research status, characteristics, regional differences, and evolution law of land use/cover change in China by using Bibliometrix and Biblioshiny software packages. The results show that: (1) The annual number of papers published in the field of land use/cover change in China is steadily increasing. However, the average annual citation amount fluctuates but shows a general downward trend; (2) From 2012 to 2022, a total of 73, 157 authors published articles in the field of land use/cover change in China, among whom Zhang Yili, Liu Yansui, and Li Xiubin ranked the top three; (3) 153 countries or regions in the world have literature output in the field of land use/cover change in China, and the top three output countries are China, the United States and Germany. Among research, papers from China and the United States has played an important role in international cooperation in the field of land use/cover change in China; (4) The key words of land use/cover change research in China can be divided into three categories: the first category focuses on the research of driving factors/factors of land use/ cover change in China; The second category focuses on the models and technical methods of land use/cover change research in China; The third category emphasizes the role of policies and government management; (5) During the ten years from 2012 to 2022, the theme of land use/cover change in China changed little, mainly focusing on climate change and management.
