Index. The Taliban were gold like figures for a war torn country's war weary people. They promised to rid the country of anarchy lawlessness and disintegration and thus earned the support of Afghans. The Taliban were defeated or so we were told by the Americans when the Frankenstein came back to haunt them. The Taliban were consigned to the dustbin of history or so we thought when Hamid Karzai was anointed as the newest ruler in Kabul. However if lessons of history canons of geo strategy and reports from Afghanistan are anything to go by Taliban were not done away with not by default but by design. The author rejects the widely believed argument that the Taliban movement has been defeated once and for all. The author claims that the endgame in Afghanistan is likely to be an eventual induction of the Taliban elements into the Afghan Government by way of a consensus reached among Pakistan the US and Karzai. However in the course of time such a status quo is unlikely to endure. Pakistan's internal and geo strategic compulsions will prompt it to advocate for more and more space for the Taliban in the Afghan Government. In short this study is an in depth analysis of the raison d'etre of the rise fall and resurgence of the Taliban. 138 pp.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. The deep roots of India's changing role in international affairs In 1947, India's adoption of a strategy of nonalignment was primarily seen as a way to preserve the country's sovereignty and independence amid Cold War rivalry. But what if preservation was actually ambition? India After Nonalignment traces the history and evolution of India's foreign policy to uncover a century-old aspiration: the nation's ambition to become a distinct pole―a centre of power, norms, and geopolitical activity―in a multipolar world. Using a fresh conceptual framework, Jacob examines how India's old nonalignment policy, ongoing aversion to military alliances, and recent enactment of strategic autonomy have collectively been driven by this deeply rooted desire to become a consequential and unique actor in foreign affairs. He discusses India's paradigm shift from a reactive posture to a proactive role in shaping international norms and culture, the balance of power, and the future implications of these aspirations for its foreign policy behaviour. As the country's growing power and geopolitical significance make its ambitions more explicit, Jacob provides the perspective necessary for scholars, students, and other readers interested in international relations and South Asian studies to better understand how India perceives its journey in the international system. …

India Pakistan bilateral dynamics/Kapil Kak. Index. India Pakistan relations are at a historic juncture. This new found warmth more than mere cold peace something that has traditionally characterised the relationship between the two countries has started manifesting in an urge to engage the other country with a positive frame of mind explore the finer aspects of the other and impelled an unprecedented popular momentum generated by the expectations of ordinary Indians and Pakistanis. The leadership in both India and Pakistan has not just accepted that they are willing to go beyond their stated positions but have realised that the welfare of the other is essential to their own. The people of Jammu and Kashmir are also undergoing an attitudinal metamorphosis towards realism and the imperatives of peace stability and prosperity. Still much remains unchanged. Mindsets suspicion terror tactics and political compulsions created by age old nationalist rhetoric remain potential wild cards in the ongoing process towards positive peace. Thus much of the challenging journey still lies ahead. This volume is an attempt to capture these diverse readings and views analyse the prospects of peace and the potential wild cards and present these before a discerning audience. 308 pp.…

Since adopting liberal economic policies two decades ago, India has become one of the two fastest growing economies in the world. While India has been reaching out to various regions such as Southeast Asia and the Middle East for expansion and strengthening its linkages, its relations with its immediate South Asian neighbours remain problematic. Her bilateral relations with the other regional countries have traditionally been contentious due to border issues as well as the fears and resistance of smaller countries to an Indian hegemony in the region.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. New Directions in Indian Foreign Policy aims to explore Indian Foreign Policy since the end of the Cold War and investigate the latest trends in India's foreign policy behaviour. The book covers a whole range of issues including India's nuclear identity, climate change, resource crunch, and diplomacy, India's great power aspirations, and domestic influences on foreign policy making. Considering that the end of the Cold War is widely understood to be a game changer for Indian Foreign Policy, it is an opportune time to ask whether India has indeed embraced a new foreign policy. In other words, two decades since the end of the Cold War and the beginning of the economic liberalization process and the coalition politics in the country, what are the changes and continuities in the contemporary Indian Foreign Policy. There is a dearth of comprehensive works on India's Foreign Policy outlook in the post-Cold War era. Thus, this book aims to fill this gap in the discipline of international politics. The focus of the book is not so much about what has changed for India, but how India has adapted or responded to the changes around it. The volume aims to produce important theoretical insights on Indian Foreign Policy. It also analyses the various aspects and implications of India's desire for greater global influence. (jacket).…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. The book addresses two major questions: whether India has a strategic culture which informs the country's foreign, defence and security thinking and whether India's foreign and security policies are based on a coherent strategic thinking. The volume, in other words, explores India's strategic culture, which shapes the country's strategic thought. From theories of grand strategy to critical constructivist interpretations, a whole range of approaches to this question are included. With its current rapid economic growth, demand for a permanent UNSC seat, successful alliance building (e.g. BRICS, Indo-US strategic partnership), and desire to play a greater role in global affairs, India's growing stature requires further analysis on how and why Indian policies are carried out. This book examines the various influences on Indian strategic culture. It will act as guide to those who wish to see patterns in Indian strategic thinking/planning and serve to explain the background of Indian foreign policies. This book is being produced two decades after the end of the Cold War, which had a major impact on international politics. Therefore, it allows for analysis of Indian strategic culture/thinking both during the Cold War and the changes it experienced after its end. A consolidated collection of academic opinions on India's strategic culture and thinking, especially from an Indian perspective, will greatly contribute to the field of international relations given India's rising importance in the global order.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - India-Pakistan border in Jammu and Kashmir has witnessed repeated ceasefire violations over the past decade. Indeed, with the new low in the relations between India and Pakistan, ceasefire violations have gone up exponentially. These have the potential to not only begin a crisis but also escalate an ongoing crisis. To make things worse, in the event of major violations, political leadership on either side often engage in high-pitched rhetoric some of which even have nuclear undertones. Using fresh empirical data and oral history evidence, this book explains the causes of ceasefire violations on the Jammu and Kashmir border, and establishes a relationship between ceasefire violations and crisis escalation between India and Pakistan. In doing so, the book further nuances the existing arguments about the escalatory dynamics between the two South Asian nuclear rivals. Furthermore, the book explains ceasefire violations using the concept of 'autonomous military factors'.…
