- Abstract: Objectives: Women's rights have become the focus of attention of many researchers and decision-makers in many countries of the world. Therefore, this topic has dominated many international and local conferences and forums to advance women, empower them, and achieve equality with men on the political, economic, and social levels. To enrich the empowerment, there are special laws passed that prescribe women’s rights and empower them internationally as well as at the domestic level. Thus, the purpose of this study is to uncover the state of empowering women in Jordan and to what degree the Jordanian legislator has facilitative the Jordanian women's empowerment by enacting or amending the new legal legislation added to the Jordanian constitution.Methods: A descriptive approach, was used to reveal to what extent Jordanian legislation is eligible to empower women in Jordan as well as integrate them into their society.

The Expansion of China’s Exclusive Jurisdiction in International Civil
Procedure: Legal Transplant or False Analogies'
- Abstract: This paper explores the exclusive jurisdiction rule in Article 279 of the Civil Procedure Law (CPL) 2023 of the People's Republic of China (PRC), which introduces two newly covered types of disputes: those involving the establishment, dissolution, liquidation, and validity of resolutions of legal persons or other organizations, and those concerning the validity of intellectual property rights (IPRs). Through a comparative analysis with Article 24 of Brussels I Recast 2012, the study highlights key differences—the Chinese exclusive jurisdiction rule for legal persons or other organizations adopts a hybrid approach combining enumeration and generalization, while Brussels 2012 follows a strictly enumerative method. In addition, the exclusive jurisdiction rule for IPRs adopts the broad term “Intellectual Property” instead of specifying categories like patents or trademarks, as seen in Brussels 2012, and restricts its application to disputes over the validity of intellectual property, explicitly excluding registration disputes. An analysis of nine rulings from 2024 shows that Chinese courts strictly adhere to the scope of this exclusive jurisdiction rule. However, challenges remain in accurately identifying foreign elements and consistently citing Article 279. The findings suggest that China’s two new categories of exclusive jurisdiction in international civil procedure are legal transplants rather than flawed analogies. Consequently, concerns that the expansion of China’s exclusive jurisdiction is unfriendly to foreign companies or parties may be overstated. The article concludes with two recommendations: (1) Chinese courts should enhance their identification of foreign elements in cases before applying the exclusive jurisdiction rule; and (2) Chinese courts should explicitly clarify their obligation to apply the exclusive jurisdiction rule in judicial reasoning and cite Article 279 in the judgment’s result section.

Before the Azerbaijan-Armenıa War: Karabakh in Iran's Foreign
Policy
- Abstract: Since the 1979 revolution, the Islamic Republic of Iran has generally pursued an ideological foreign policy. While Iran's stance on Nagorno-Karabakh has shown occasional variations, it has maintained a consistent approach within its own framework. Overall, Iran has approached the Nagorno-Karabakh issue, which has persisted for thirty years, with considerable sensitivity. The primary source of this sensitivity is the significant Turkish population in Iran, particularly the South Azerbaijani Turks. However, Azerbaijan’s growing alliance with Turkey, the strengthening of Turkey's influence in the Caucasus, and Azerbaijan's developing relations with the U.S. and Israel have raised concerns in Iran. Despite ostensibly supporting Shia-majority Azerbaijan, Iran has often aligned its policy with Armenia. This study aims to outline this process in broad terms. Additionally, it highlights the impact of Iran's foreign policy on establishing the geoeconomic and geostrategic equation in the region and emphasizes how the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict has become a key, if not deadlocked, element in Iran-Azerbaijan relations.

Global Economic Governance: The Antithesis of Trade Liberalisation
Paradigm in Africa and the Developing Countries
- Abstract: The increasing fragmentation of the global economy and politics, coupled with the profound and unpredictable diversity of our society, renders the idea of courteous and open-minded discourse seemingly unattainable.The centralised and uniform global economic governance orchestrated by pivotal entities like the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Trade Organisation (WTO), and the World Bank (WB) has had detrimental effects on emerging nations. This dynamic has facilitated the rise of nativist and populist leaders who promote mercantilist and protectionist policies, thereby eroding the foundational principles of a "liberal" international order. This trend is particularly evident in scenarios where globalisation has intensified economic inequality and poverty, as recent historical events demonstrate. International financial institutions frequently advocate for a uniform strategy in development, focusing on neoliberal economic policies like free trade, deregulation, and limited government involvement. These models have faced criticism for not aligning with the unique socio-economic realities of developing nations, which can sometimes result in stagnation or economic dependency.
  This paper will explore the origins of the global economic imbalance initiated by the Bretton Woods System and will critically examine whether any developments have occurred since that time to reduce global economic inequality. The assessment will determine if the ambitious initiatives proposed by the International Financial Institutions (IFI) aimed at enhancing living standards across nations have resulted in a transformative shift that influences the ongoing economic challenges faced by developing countries.

Hume's Doubts About Politics: A Critique and Reimagining of Social
Contract Theory
- Abstract: This paper examines and assesses Hume's skepticism regarding the social contract theories of Hobbes, Locke, and Rousseau. Consequently, Hume, in response to the assertions of contractarians who argued that political power is founded on a contract among rational individuals, contended that political authority originates from custom, use, and historical precedent. His critique consequently refutes the function of reason in establishing the legitimacy of political institutions, contending that they develop over time. Hume adopts a radical enlightenment perspective, asserting that every revolution always results in political instability. The paper seeks to elucidate the political theories of David Hume and articulate the relevance of this philosopher's ideas in analyzing contemporary politics and political systems, as well as in assessing which political frameworks should be considered legitimate today. This research analyses Hume's perspectives on custom, gradualism, and the emotional foundation of political authority, providing a comprehensive account of political legitimacy in historical and present contexts.
