Undergraduate Paper Series

Dear Readers,

Thank you for the constant support for the Undergraduate Paper Series! We are happy to announce that the 4th issue is out now!

This year, we showcase three student papers that explore a diverse range of topics in international relations. This publication is the result of the dedicated efforts of student authors, faculty advisors, and the TIU IRSA student editorial board.

The authors and the papers that are featured in this year’s issue are:

1. Eco-Promise or Environmental Pretense? Assessing Chinese Mining Firms’ Implementation of Green Belt and Road Initiative Principles in Southern Africa, by Samantha Faith Djuwana Widia, from International Relations of China (Professor Hak Yin Li)
2. Enemy Image Framing of China in US Policy and Executive Decisions, by Nilsen Maria Kloster, from International Relations of China (Professor Hak Yin Li)
3. Euroscepticism in Central Europe: The Case of Hungary and Poland, by Tran Thi Van Anh, from International Relations of Europe (Professor Christopher Lamont)

We extend our congratulations to the featured authors. We believe readers will find inspiration to deepen their knowledge and refine their writing through these papers, just like we do!

Sincerely,

TIU IRSA Executives
