Hardcover. Zustand: New. Crises are inevitable in human and organizational life, arising from natural and man-made causes. In business organizations, effectively managing a challenge is a crucial managerial responsibility.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. As warfare continues to influence our world today, the study of military history provides one of the only avenues for us to understand past and present conflicts in context. It is fundamentally important to all modern military organizations, since it is central to how they train and prepare their military commanders for the rigours of war. It also adds to the professional knowledge of a soldier. Military History is an important paper for the DSSC/TSOC entrance examination. However, time for study and preparation is always at a premium as professional, social and domestic commitments can be distractions. To meet the need for developing an understanding of the syllabus for the examination, the author has distilled the essential elements in one volume.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. The war, which began with the Russian invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022, is the most significant conflict of the century so far, even outstripping the US invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq. With it, war revisited Europe after 70 years, plunged it into turmoil, and directly or indirectly, impacted the entire globe. What makes it worse than earlier wars, is the nuclear shadow hovering over it which threatens to darken the world. A war which everyone thought would be over in a fortnight or so, extended interminably. The sheer scope of the war is reminiscent of the Second World War, and many of the battles were fought on the same ground. The book traces the background and major flow of events right from the crucial battle of Kyiv and Kharkov in the initial days, the Russian capture of the coast, the Donbas battles, the Ukrainian counter-offensive and the Russian response. The economic and geopolitical aspects are highlighted. The impact on India and the world, with a likely emergence of a new global order, have been delved into in detail. The book takes you through the course of the war and helps envision its impact, as it explores one of the most epochal events of our times.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. This book is the result of joint research of scholars from India and the Kyrgyz Republic and focuses on current trends in relations between the two countries. It contains a detailed examination of the cultural, historical, political, diplomatic, and economic aspects of IndiaKyrgyz cooperation at the bilateral, regional, and international levels. Both the countries are poised to play significant roles in international affairs, and this book advances knowledge in understanding how and why these developments have occurred.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. The contemporary world presents a human society paradigm undergoing rapid transition in terms of evolving roles and high expectations. Governments address these issues by changing, reforming, or re-inventing themselves to ensure faster inclusive growth and rapid alleviation of poverty. However, globalization and liberalization policies have perceivably excluded many sections of the population, attributed to the deteriorating law and order situation, corruption and exploitation, raised the price index, criminalised politics, politicized the administrative machinery, produced mega financial scams, poor principles and social norms and degenerated the value system. To radically improve outcomes in rural infrastructure, ex-servicemen from the Armed Forces, who are the only credible and educated workforce in villages, characterized by self-motivation, rich experience, discipline and multi-talented persona could be meaningfully employed for scrupulous governance within a timeline of 'augmentation and progression'. We need to establish 7,000 self-reliant village clusters through the Rural Area Planned Integrated Development (RAPID) programme under a dynamic public-private partnership model to bring sustainable development and prosperity to rural areas and usher in smart villages. Mission-oriented thrust areas are potable water, optimised renewable energy sources, mitigation of infant and maternal mortality rates, multi-specialty health care, increased literacy level, and improved functional literacy of self-help groups and unemployed youth. Ex-servicemen are 'role models' of ethical and transformational leadership with veritable ingrained morals and righteous conduct focused on 'Duty, Honour and Country'. They are empowered crusaders of good governance, who believe in the Credo fundamentally, practise it religiously and live by it virtuously.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Bangladesh, Bhutan, India and Nepal (BBIN) are home to 21 per cent of the world's population. With projected economic growth in the BBIN countries, a consequent increase in the demand for electricity and heavy dependence on fossil fuels are expected despite the pitch for renewable energy. The region also faces unprecedented climate change, particularly in the Hindu Kush Himalaya, the cradle of major sub-continental rivers, and where melting glaciers, unpredictable weather conditions, and rainfall patterns are affecting the life of millions and instigating frequent natural disasters. Since 2014, India has tried to maximise sub-regional interaction with the aim of promoting cooperation in the economic, social, cultural and scientific fields. This has opened new thinking and opportunities, complementing the pace of globalisation and liberalisation. The fear, of course, is that this approach can easily dissipate in the face of security complexities and political difficulties. The climate-water-energy nexus is now a familiar concept in the resource management debate requiring long-sighted approaches that help avoid maladaptive pathways and, as a tool, to anticipate the tilt and balance of the nexus resources and the nature of their interactions. The nexus as a policy approach brings together the concept of 'security and sustainability'. However, the framing of the nexus around a scarcity crisis narrative often pushes states towards control and possessiveness of the resources rather than driving them towards stability and durability solutions. Beyond this framework, a more nuanced politicaleconomy understanding of the BBIN sub-region is essential.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. During the first two decades of the twenty-first century, besides the structural factors namely geography, history, politics, international system and the world order, five conjunctural factors dominated Turkish foreign policy behaviour and conduct. These include the Strategic Depth (Stratejik Derinlik) doctrine with 'zero-problem' with neighbours embedded in it followed by the Blue Homeland (Mavi Vatan) doctrine focused on enhancing Türkiye's maritime presence in its immediate neighbourhood and the periphery. Thirdly, and arguably the most important, is the personality of Recep Tayyip Erdogan who as a dominating figure in contemporary Turkish politics has shaped not only the political discourse but foreign policy praxis. Erdogan's personalised style of interventions has undoubtedly had a profound impact on Ankara's interactions and engagements with the wider world. Finally, pan-Islamism and neo-Ottomanism are two important drivers in Turkish foreign policy and were visible notably in the Middle East and North Africa region and came into prominence in the wake of the Arab Spring uprisings. In this context, it is pertinent to ask what are Turkish foreign policy ambitions and how do these impact India? Given that Ankara has expanded its presence, or at least is striving to expand it, in the geographically contiguous Southwest Asia region that connects India to the Middle East, the question how Indian foreign policy should view Türkiye becomes even more important. The bilateral challenges between India and Türkiye make it even more pertinent for Indian scholars and policymakers to take a deep and hard look at Türkiye's foreign policy doctrines and praxis. This book is an attempt in that direction. It systematically analyses the structural and conjunctural factors in Turkish foreign policy and notes that Türkiye's foreign policy is embedded in a glorified identification of the past, both Ottoman and Kemalist, and in its geographical location as a multi-regional actor.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. The book is about assessing the effectiveness of a traditional UN Peace Operation. The book first goes on to develop a conceptual framework for the evaluation of UN peace operations and apply that to assess the performance of a traditional UN Peace Operation with UNIFIL as a case study. The author relies on empirical data, supported by perceptions and practical experiences of peacekeepers and 'subject matter experts' at both the operational and tactical levels using a mixed method of qualitative and quantitative analysis. The author proves that UNIFIL can be assessed to be a satisfactorily successful UN Peace Operation. He ends the book with a few major takeaways and offers actionable recommendations to the practitioners of peacekeeping and for future reform of UN peace operations. This book is the first of its kind by a former Indian peacekeeper who holds a PhD from Tilburg University, the Netherland.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. The book is a collaborative endeavour of an esteemed academician and a dedicated uniformed soldier, shedding light on India s current position in the dynamic landscape of artificial intelligence (AI). It delves into the heart of the global AI Summer, a transformative phenomenon reshaping industries across the globe. It meticulously chronicles the progress made in AI in India over the past five years, emphasizing the pivotal role played by the Government think-tank, the NITI Aayog, in setting the tone for AI initiatives within the country. Furthermore, it examines the collective efforts of government bodies, industry players, academic institutions, and defence organizations in harnessing AI s potential to fortify national security. One of the book s distinctive features is its comparative analysis of India s AI progress with that of the P-5 nations, including the USA and China, who are currently engaged in fierce competition for AI dominance. In just half a decade since its initial steps into the AI arena, India has managed to ascend to the ranks of the top 50 nations, a remarkable achievement that underscores its growing prominence in the AI landscape. Backed by a wealth of meticulously researched facts and figures, this book provides readers with invaluable insights into how India is leveraging this disruptive technology to significantly impact military operations and bolster national security. In an era marked by the emergence of the Fifth Generation of Warfare (5GW), and another change in the character of conflict, this book explores AI s role as a game-changer in safeguarding the nation. Artificial Intelligence and National Security is an indispensable read for think tanks, strategists, and policymakers. It not only addresses the potential benefits of AI for national security but also confronts the ethical concerns surrounding its use. Moreover, the book outlines a roadmap for the development and implementation of crucial AI strategies aimed at ensuring t.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. It is easy to deal with an 'Unlawful Order'. How do you deal with a 'Lawful but an Awful Order'? This book builds a powerful narrative that constructive dissent, constructive disobedience, and positive defiance are positive tools for the long-term sustenance of an organisation. They are an extension of integrity, moral courage and value-based leadership. Covered in sixteen chapters, the book critically examines the theme in all its dimensions. Interesting case studies on the 'My Lai Massacre', General Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in dealing with a reckless US President in 20-21 and the India-China conflict highlight the complexities and the challenges involved. A critical analysis of the Indian bureaucracy compels serious introspection for overhaul. The wars in the last 100 years, mostly of choice and not necessity, meet the definition of 'Folly' and the 'Law of Stupidity'. The outcome was clear from the beginning, there were alternatives and warnings, and finally, they devastated humanity without bringing any good to the perpetrator. When civil institutional oversight fails or gets compromised, a country's military and civil society have a critical role to play. They must prevent descent into chaos. It was not the greed of a few corporate honchos but the compliance of many that destroyed flourishing corporates. It was not the obedience of millions of African Americans but the defiance of one black woman that ended racial segregation. It was the defiance of one Indian soldier in the 1857 mutiny that laid the foundation of the Indian freedom movement. Organisations have a natural affinity with oligarchy and exploitation. Constructive dissent and constructive disobedience ensure the long-term good of all stakeholders by preempting fatal decisions. An engrossing food for thought for an intellectual mind.…
