The rule-based global order, which got developed during the Cold war and triumphed right after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, is now facing the first-ever jolt from the uncooperative and inflexible role of the nation-states across the globe. Hurting all the major economies, Covid-19 is also bringing an era that will be more authoritarian, and less liberal, including more open geostrategic competition and rivalry across the globe. The geostrategic rivalry and competition have already begun in the second decade of this century between the existing superpower America and the rising power China. The initial point of this competition is Washington’s policy of Pivot to Asia and Beijing’s ambitious initiative of Belt &amp; Road Initiative, and then subsequent trade war and other making and breaking of alliances across the world. However, the post-pandemic era will make all these strategies explicit and open. However, the current study concluded that these strategic great games, technology, big data, cloud computing, Artifical Intellengence will be playing the dominant role, and these phenomena will be the ultimate deciding factors in determining the future of the world.</p> Bilawal Abbas Tafazal Kumail Farah Sadiq Copyright (c) 2021 Bilawal Abbas, Tafazal Kumail, Farah Sadiq 2021-02-25 2021-02-25 4 1 & 2 1 14 TEACHER’S EFFICACY AS PREDICTOR OF STUDENTS’ ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTS https://journal.suit.edu.pk/index.php/jossh/article/view/579 <p>The research objective was to assess the impact of the teachers’ efficacy on students’ academic achievement.
