In response to the resurgence of isolationist rhetoric in U.S. political discourse, the study argues that isolationism is suboptimal for both dominant and declining hegemons. Drawing on neorealism and hegemonic stability theory, it contends that the active maintenance of military alliances and international commitments is essential for safeguarding national security and economic interests. Isolationism, while seemingly reducing short-term foreign policy burdens, ultimately diminishes a hegemon’s capacity to deter rival powers, preserve regional stability, and sustain a favorable global economic order. By examining the structural causes of hegemonic decline and the indispensable role of military power in securing both security and prosperity, the article concludes that sustained engagement, rather than strategic retrenchment, remains the optimal path for a hegemon like the United States.</p> Baia IVANEISHVILI Copyright (c) 2025 Journal in Humanities https://jh.ibsu.edu.ge/jms/index.php/SJH/article/view/547 Thu, 26 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0400 Strategies initiated by the US against international terrorism during the presidency of Joe Biden https://jh.ibsu.edu.ge/jms/index.php/SJH/article/view/554 <p>The paper explores the reforms and strategies that were initiated by U.S. against international terrorism during Biden’s presidency.

However, there are also some similarities between them. He changed the way the conventional presidential communication has been acknowledged, opened up new techniques and dimensions and facilitated the emergence of a new understanding of direct communication. One point that we can emphasize without a doubt is that he has unique communication style and he excels at inspiring and connecting with his voters. There are interesting points of similarity between these speeches but also key differences that are worth examining.</p> Tamta UTIASHVILI Copyright (c) 2025 Journal in Humanities https://jh.ibsu.edu.ge/jms/index.php/SJH/article/view/551 Thu, 26 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0400 The war in Ukraine as a turning point in global security and engagement of global actors https://jh.ibsu.edu.ge/jms/index.php/SJH/article/view/549 <p>The war in Ukraine has been a turning point for global security. If Russia manages to win in Ukraine, it will pose serious risks and challenges to America, Europe, and the entire West in the coming decades. It will have a spillover effect. That is why the West must pay a high price to help Ukraine avoid devastating consequences in the long term, no matter how challenging the steps taken by the West against Russia may be. The reality is that countries in the Middle East, Africa and Asia will not be able to completely isolate themselves from Russia, and the West sees clearly that these sanctions may not be very destructive towards Russia in the short term. However, in the long term, sanctions will deter Russian aggression.</p> Ilona CHUKHUA Copyright (c) 2025 Journal in Humanities https://jh.ibsu.edu.ge/jms/index.php/SJH/article/view/549 Thu, 26 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0400 US and related powers in cooperation against Russian aggression https://jh.ibsu.edu.ge/jms/index.php/SJH/article/view/555 <p>The article examines the multidimensional cooperation between the United States, NATO and key Asia-Pacific countries in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. It highlights the evolving role of non-European NATO partners - Japan, South Korea, Australia, and New Zealand - in supporting Ukraine through military aid, economic sanctions against Russia, cyber defense collaboration, and humanitarian assistance. The analysis underscores the strategic motivations behind U.S. engagement with Ukraine, rooted in the promotion of democratic values, containment of Russian aggression, and the preservation of global stability. Additionally, the historical development of U.S.-Ukraine relations, including disarmament agreements and evolving defense cooperation, is discussed to contextualize current policies. The article also reflects America’s broader geopolitical goals and the global ramifications of the Russia-<br>Ukraine conflict.</p> Tea CHUMBURIDZE, Ilona CHUKHUA Copyright (c) 2025 Journal in Humanities https://jh.ibsu.edu.ge/jms/index.php/SJH/article/view/555 Thu, 26 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0400 The Cold War era in the USA: foreign and domestic policy https://jh.ibsu.edu.ge/jms/index.php/SJH/article/view/552 <p>In the general time frame of the Cold War (1947-1991), the U.S. and the USSR participated in an arms race, among other things. This period had a profound effect on American foreign and domestic policy, particularly as the Americans sought to stem the spread of communism and survive a potential nuclear war while maintaining global influence. This paper critically examines the discursive shape of, and challenges to, the legacy of U.S. foreign and domestic policy through the Cold War years that lingers still in the U.S. and global cultural life.</p> Maia ANTIDZE Copyright (c) 2025 Journal in Humanities https://jh.ibsu.edu.ge/jms/index.php/SJH/article/view/552 Thu, 26 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0400
