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. Condizione: 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.…
