International politics over the last few decades have explored new dimensions of security and economic growth. China has seen sustained growth in its economy, and significant progress in technology through which its military has undergone profound technological transformations. This has defined its commitment for being a great power in the region and the world. China’s interest in establishing military strongholds dates to late 20th century when the government started to increase its military expenditure moderately with an objective of homeland security and secure its command in the Asian region which is a natural progression of the country’s ascension to great power status. China being the most populated country and third largest country in the terms of geographical area in the world claims to possess all the attributes of a superpower. These conditions have left some analysts with an opinion that rapid growth of Chinese economy and its military power would be a possible threat to the region and the world. Some analysts also have predicted that China will represent an alternative pole to American global dominance. This article looks into the rise of China and its military modernization fueled by its economic might and whether it would bring dynamic changes or challenge the power balance at global level.

Japan-India relations have always been a topic close to a number of academicians for a number of reasons. However, comprehensive literature on the bilateral relations remains scattered in book chapters and international journals. A comprehensive study encompassing all the aspects of IndiaJapan relations was needed at one place in the form of a book to give a clear picture about the multi-faceted aspects of the much talked about bilateral relations to readers. The book authored by Shamshad Khan has attempted to give a holistic view of these bilateral relations. The title of the book itself is explanatory and one can have a basic knowledge of everything starting from religion to more contemporary foreign policy and strategic issues. The book is divided into eight chapters, starting from chapter on Buddhism to the last concluding chapter which does provide some policy suggestions.

China’s aid and assistance policy has been focused on developing new production centres which can contribute to its manufacturing base. Further, it has been the endeavour of China to engage the south Asian countries so that it can reach out to the Indian Ocean region as well as explore political and economic synergies with the smaller countries of South Asia. China has espoused for connecting its southern provinces with South Asian countries through initiatives such as BCIM economic corridor while at the same time developing the port and road infrastructure of the lest developed nations. This would help China to promote trade and investment in the South Asian region as well as explore economies of scale through engaging the resources and labour of the low costs production centres. Under this pursuit, China has started engaging Bangladesh through political interactions, defence cooperation and engaging the country through economic and investment initiatives. For a country like Bangladesh which has been largely dependent on its select exports and remittances from its expatriate labour it needs to be seen how better relations with China would define its geo-political importance in the South Asian region. This paper explores the dynamics of the relationship and explores future potential of the relationship.

China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), a flagship project of OBOR or BRI, has brought China and Pakistan economically and strategically close. As significant part of the corridor develops through the disputed region of Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK), it has been difficult for India to accept the project as it infringes on its sovereignty. The nature of investment, the controversies associated with the location of the corridor in Pakistan, the opacity of the investments, the conflict in Baluchistan, and the manner in which Pakistani civilian and military administration has become embroiled in the multi-billion-dollar project, has made CPEC more of a challenge to the region, than a corridor of opportunity. The paper will try to assess the nature of the project and the various challenges that it entails. Building upon these notions, the article in the end would attempt to make future predictions for the region.

Relations between Japan and India two ancient civilisations and two vibrant democracies have been built on practice of Buddhist religion, cultural similarities and historical linkages. However, the defence and strategic complementarities that have developed in the last one decade have been because of changing regional dynamics and the lacklustre performance of the regional security organisations. References has been made that the China factor plays prominently in the development of the relationship which is one of the main factor but not the only factor in the ties. The rise of China and its effect on the bilateral relationship between India and Japan need to be evaluated from a rational perspective. India and Japan have explored new complementarities given the increasing liberalised trade and investment between the two countries and the need for Japan to diversify its investment and trade portfolio. The cause for security cooperation between the two is to maintain balance of power in the region and create adequate cooperative measures so that China enmeshes itself into regional security obligations without structurally changing the status quo both in the Indian Ocean, South China Sea and East China Sea. This article addresses the evolving power matrix from the point of view of Japan and how it strengthens security cooperation with India for a peaceful and stable region.

As the title of the book suggests, the authors have tried to find aspects from history where India and China have actively interacted together in the past be it for cultural exchanges, diplomatic ties or for trade purposes. In addition, they (authors) have tried to use these aspects to try and explain different phenomenon such as the two starkly different paths taken by the two countries in expanding their economies and how tourism has developed for example. The book introduces me to a concept called “Asian Century” wherein they mean to suggest that with the rapid growth being shown by India and China and both being emerging global powers that the global economy will in the future will significantly be dominated by Asian economies, politics and culture. Therefore, in the light of the possibility of an Asian dominated global economy, a better understanding of the growth and the path followed by these two countries in achieving this growth is imperative.

Rapid development of infrastructure along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) between India and China, as well as within the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) plays a decisive role in the strategic calculus of India. Despite numerous rounds of talks between India and China under the Special Representative(SR) mechanism, little concrete progress has been achieved in the direction of settlement of the boundaries. However, in terms of confidence building mechanisms much has been achieved including the 1996 CBM which promises peace along the border between these two important Asian neighbours. Unfriendly incidents like face-offs between the border forces and armies, allegations of border intrusions, and gradual build up of military on both sides of the border region suggest that the possibility of military confrontation is still alive between these two close neighbours. However, given the institutional frameworks which have been built overtime, the military confrontation has been avoided. Reports of China’s rapid infrastructure development in TAR in general and its border regions contiguous to South Asia in particular, compel a country like India try to understand China’s objectives for doing so. The more recent standoffs in Depsang in 2015 and subsequently at Doklam in 2017 are testimony to China’s increasing confidence in dealing with the border issues through show of power and deployment of armed personnel on ground. This article takes an objective assessment of the infrastructure that China has developed in the Tibet region and how it is meant to give strategic advantage to China.

‘Why Nations Fail’ is a book about the huge differences in income and standards of living that separate the rich countries from the poor. In this sense, the main questions that the book seeks to answer are: What are the constraints that keep poor countries from becoming prosperous? Why are countries like Egypt for example, so poor compared to the United States? Can poverty be eradicated? Why are the poor nations failing to prosper and why are they poor?

The signing of the Chabahar Port Deal between India, Iran, and Afghanistan is literally living up to its name, Chabahar which means four springs -char-four bahar- springs in Persian. It has led to the budding of new hope of regional economic prosperity, peace, and greater friendship and cultural ties. The Chabahar port in southeastern Iran will open a gateway from the warm waters of the Oman Sea leading to the Indian Ocean and the landlocked countries of Afghanistan and Central Asia. It will pave the way for India to conduct transnational trade and commerce with the regional countries as well as beyond. India, an emerging economic powerhouse, will have direct access to the natural resources of the region which means wider market accessibility for the region as a whole and economic prosperity. The port will also allow India to bypass Pakistan’s volatile territory, currently, the only limited overland route between India and Afghanistan through which Afghan truckers are allowed to carry their goods to the Attari–Wagah border but are de–barred from carrying Indian products through Pakistan. Chabahar will also enable India to counter China’s growing presence in the Arabian Sea. China has invested US $46 billion in the Pakistani port of Gwadar. Given that both China and Pakistan have territorial disputes with India, it makes sense for India to take pre-emptive measures and strengthen its maritime power in the region proportionately. For the landlocked Central Asian region, the deal means wider market accessibility for their natural resources and produce as well as a chance to be an equal partner in globalization. Culturally, the port deal will connect the peoples of the region showcasing their distinct features, cuisines, customs and traditions, norms and values and an opportunity to learn from others. It also means a better shot at regional security with greater understanding and agreements. This appears on the surface to be a win-win situation but will it all be plain sailing? Herein comes the significance of regional geo-politics that has the potential to rock the boat if not to scupper the deal altogether. Intricate diplomatic choreographing is needed if this deal and the hopes of the region are to bear fruit.

In the complex globalised world that we live in today, more than ever before in the history of international relations, what immediately and most particularly strikes research in the field of international politics is how economic relations highlight as well as underscore the relationship between and amongst nations. Economic ties have strung together the far reaches of the globe into an intricate web of interdependence via trade, investment, infrastructure, technology, and intellectual property transfers. In contemporary times, this multilateral and nuanced connect has become imperative to understanding how global systems work and fail – both at the theoretical and pragmatic levels.
