This study aims to identify barriers to the use of e-learning and distance learning in Jordanian universities from the perspective of students in Jordan during the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The study used descriptive methodology to develop a questionnaire with 50 items, all of which were arranged in a behavioral order to match the structure of the interview items. Validity and reliability of the instrument were evaluated, and the instrument was applied to a sample of students (716), who were randomly selected. The results of the study showed that there are barriers to using e-learning and distance learning in Jordanian universities according to students' opinions about the coronavirus pandemic. The results also show that there are significant differences in student responses regarding barriers to online learning. It also covered the barriers and challenges that prevent this change, such as poor internet connection and lack of interest, showing the need for new courses to improve students' experience in online learning.

“…Territorial denial is one of the non-military mechanisms that enables soft balancing and seeks to ‘reduce or remove the military presence and external influence of an outside power from a specific region’ (Ferguson, 2012, p. 208). A manifestation of this mechanism can be found in the three states’ stance during the Syrian war, which was to oppose intervention or regime change in Syria and, as a result, to support Bashar al-Assad in the face of American pressure (Khatib, 2021). However, such efforts, aside from reducing US influence in the Middle East, indicate that the three states want to ‘obtain more influence together’ (Walt, 2005, p. 113), as a strategic triangle, which is also evident in the Afghanistan crisis following the American withdrawal in August 2021, with the three states holding a number of joint meetings on the situation.…”

The recent rapprochement among China, Iran and Russia reveals the emergence of a new, unexpected, regional strategic triangle with the potential to balance the United States’ dominant position. By focusing on the evolution of this strategic triangle in the post-Cold War period, this article investigates the driving forces that bring the three states together, namely the US power and unilateralism as materialised in NATO’s eastward expansion, the sanctions on Russia after the annexation of Crimea and the war in Ukraine, the sanctions against Iran, the US trade war with China and the hostile US posture during the coronavirus disease-2019 pandemic. Drawing on soft balancing theory, this article provides an empirical assessment of China–Iran– Russia strategies in countering the US power. Thus, this article aims to fill a gap in the existing literature by investigating this triangular relationship and its balancing potential under the analytic construct of a strategic triangle. Finally, the analysis demonstrates that the three states have employed soft balancing mechanisms, primarily economic strengthening and entangling diplomacy in international institutions. At the same time, territorial denial was sought on various occasions due to the regional importance of this triangular relationship. In conclusion, the article also offers insights into potential hard-balancing behaviour in the long run.
