Connectivity, Corridors, and the Transformation of Global Power: Rethinking International Relations in the Twenty-First Century
By Ayan Hajimatova
Connectivity has emerged as an increasingly important dimension of international relations, yet its implications for the distribution and exercise of global power remain insufficiently integrated across transport, digital, and energy systems. Existing scholarship has examined infrastructure, interdependence, technological networks, and geoeconomics from a range of perspectives, but these approaches often consider individual forms of connectivity in isolation. This article addresses this gap by examining how interconnected infrastructure networks contribute to the transformation of global power in the twenty-first century. The study adopts a qualitative and interpretive approach based on a synthesis of academic literature, policy documents, institutional publications, and other publicly available sources. It develops a comparative analytical framework centred on three principal dimensions of connectivity: transport corridors, digital infrastructure, and energy networks. The analysis demonstrates that connectivity can function as a strategic dimension of power by shaping the movement of goods, information, technology, and energy; creating positions of network centrality; and generating both cooperation and asymmetric forms of interdependence. The findings further indicate that connectivity does not replace traditional sources of power, including military and economic capabilities. Rather, it provides additional mechanisms through which states can translate geographical position, material resources, technological capacity, and institutional influence into strategic advantages. The article therefore conceptualizes connectivity as both a source of opportunity and a potential mechanism of dependence and geopolitical leverage. This perspective contributes to broader debates on international power, globalization, interdependence, and geoeconomics by emphasizing that contemporary influence depends not only on the capabilities states possess, but also on how those capabilities are embedded within and connected to critical networks. The framework provides a basis for future empirical research using comparative case studies, network analysis, and quantitative measures of connectivity and strategic dependence.
Heritage, Memory and Contested Public Space
By Time Travels Hub Research Office
This editorial demonstration paper examines heritage, memory and contested public space as a contemporary question within Cultural Studies. The study sets out the conceptual background to the problem, reviews the principal positions in the current literature, and proposes a structured framework through which the topic can be evaluated by researchers, students and practitioners. Evidence is drawn from published scholarship, comparative cases and established analytical practice in the discipline, and is organised around three guiding questions: what is currently known, where the evidence remains contested, and which methods offer the clearest route to progress. The findings are presented as a reasoned synthesis rather than as new empirical data, and are intended to illustrate the structure, tone and rigour expected of full-length publications hosted on Time Travels Hub. The paper closes with practical recommendations for researchers entering the field and with a short agenda for future work.
