| Summary/Abstract |
India’s global ambitions are intricately linked to its growth as a leading nation as well as its regional influence. Brimming with opportunity yet equally troubled by challenges deep-rooted in its vast expanses, history and extra-regional geopolitics, cooperation in South Asia has proved to be a predicament as unique as the region itself. It is argued that South Asia’s performance in terms of socioeconomic indicators depends to a large extent on India’s geo-economics, and hence, this essay focuses on the use of trade policy in the geo-economics of India with its neighbours. On one hand, trade and investment figures indicate India’s position as the gravitational core in South Asia has weakened. On the other hand, it is doing more than ever under the aegis of the “Neighbourhood First” and the “Act East” policy to strengthen connectivity infrastructure at the sub-regional level, given the sombre achievements of the SAARC region as a whole in strengthening regional economic ties. The essay makes pointed recommendations for effective regionalism amongst the South Asian nations.

| Summary/Abstract |
The absence of a democratically elected government, the poor state of law and order and the many restrictions and violations of basic rights, especially those of women, under Taliban rule in Afghanistan are developments of deep concern. Moreover, the increasing tension along the Durand line with Pakistan, and the challenge posed by the Islamic State-Khorasan to the Taliban have made the security situation precarious. This paper examines the emerging strategic and security trends in Afghanistan in the post-Taliban takeover period. Should India engage with the Taliban regime so that it can influence its decisions, provide aid to its needy, and limit the security impact for the region, especially on Jammu and Kashmir? What would be the fallout if the Taliban regime is recognised and its relationship with the international community is formalised?

| Summary/Abstract |
The Himalaya is a unique ecological system and millions of people depend on its rivers for water, food and energy. It has distinctive biodiversity with a variety of high altitude vascular plants, grasslands, birds, etc. The Himalaya is under stress due to natural hazards such as earthquakes, landslides, floods, glacial lake outburst floods, climate change impacts such as the retreat of glaciers, and changes in precipitation patterns. Besides, anthropogenic activities related to infrastructure development, urbanisation, tourism, etc., also affect the Himalayan system. Defencerelated activities by China, Pakistan and India have placed additional pressure on the Himalayan ecology. The geological, cryospheric, hydrological and atmospheric processes and their interaction need to be modeled for the preservation of the Himalayan ecosystem. The formation of the Himalayan Science Council (HSC) is a positive step but it needs to set up monitoring systems for observing/measuring geological, hydrological, cryospheric, atmospheric and biological phenomena. Collaboration between research institutes of the Himalayan nations is a critical necessit

| Summary/Abstract |
The enduring asymmetry between India’s military capabilities vis-à-vis its adversaries is a matter of concern. The widely held view that it is largely because of the politico-bureaucratic apathy, which manifests itself in the continuing absence of a National Security Strategy (NSS) as the basis for defence planning and inadequate budgetary allocations, needs revaluation. The situation has not changed despite the government having set up a high-level Defence Planning Committee (DPC) in 2018 to inter alia draft the NSS. The budgetary allocations also continue to fall short of the requirement projected by the armed forces. This paper broadly explores these two issues and argues that there is a need to consider the desirability of setting up a 24x7 Defence Planning Board for financially viable defence planning and a bespoke Defence Capability Acquisition Organisation, both of which have been recommended in the past by committees constituted by the Ministry of Defence itself.

| Summary/Abstract |
China has always been a difficult society to understand because of its opaque, secretive
and authoritarian political system, and insights into its functioning and what drives
its behaviour are still far from definitive. Ensuring an accurate understanding of China
is a task of the greatest consequence for India. This requires the marshalling of all our
intellectual, intelligence and strategic resources and expanding our skill set. The stakes
involved are such that we need an authentic Indian perspective on China. We cannot
see China through the eyes of others. We have a rich body of expertise on China based
on the collective experience of our serving and retired diplomats as well as the expanding
study of China in our academic institutions and the growing body of Indian students in
China. This represents a large and invaluable resource.

| Summary/Abstract |
The perception of conflicts between explicit political actors such as nation-states has an interesting peculiarity over its manifestation. When visible violent outbursts of conflict are absent, the international community often becomes optimistic and tends to envision a world matured from past failures (read conflict). This image is not formed by discounting the elements of latent conflict but is often built on the conviction that economic interdependence is infallible. The interdependence is understood to be such that, in a globalized world, often the perils—spillover effect of wars and the imposition of sanctions—deter conflict actors from engaging in one, and if engaged, not prolonging it. However, time and again, the repulsion between potential carnage and sanctions seems least effective. The international community is often taken off-guard by conflictual events that make them ponder if economic interdependence promoted through globalization is a true factor in preventing wars.

| Summary/Abstract |
International sanctions affect international trade significantly. They lead to a decrease in the trade flow between the sender and the targetFootnote1; when the political relationship is strained, it can negatively affect trade flows.Footnote2 Moreover, the threat of economic sanctions may be even more important than the actual imposition.Footnote3 The anticipation effect may bring controversial results for both the sender–target interactions and the target’s relations with the third countries. On the one hand, political and diplomatic tensions increase the exposure of international firms to political and credit risk and encourage them to temporarily delay trade. Footnote4 On the other hand, the threat of sanctions can act as an incentive for potential targets to stockpile against future negative effects of sanctions and result in short-term positive effects.Footnote

| Summary/Abstract |
On 27 October 2022, the much-awaited Nuclear Posture Review (NPR) of the United States (US) was released in a declassified form, but not as an independent document as it had been issued in the past. It was part of the National Defense Review (NDR) of 2022, as it formed part of a single document comprising the NPR, NDR and The Missile Defense Review (MDR). The NDR of 2022 had assigned four priorities to strengthen America’s deterrence prowess. These priorities are as follows: protecting the homeland, deterring strategic attacks, prevailing in the conflict, and creation of a ‘resilient joint force and defence ecosystem’.

| Summary/Abstract |
The development of society provides for constant changes in the axiological foundations of legal regulation within the State. The Constitution, on the other hand, acts as a fundamental document that forms the basis of relations between the cells of society, taking into account current values. Based on the study of the world experience in constitutional construction, a conclusion is made about the presence of a general trend in the replenishment of the value catalogue of Constitutions, taking into account the historical experience accumulated by States and national priorities. The article discusses the process of improving the organization of the State power system in the context of constitutional reforms on the example of Russia and others Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries and some European countries in recent years. It concludes that the conditions improving the efficiency and consistency of the entire public administration system in the countries under consideration have unconditionally formed due to ongoing constitutional reforms that have updated the system of social relations. The subject of the study are the constitutional amendments in the countries under study, mainly in the context of changes in the model of functioning and interaction of the higher State authorities.

| Summary/Abstract |
With France’s support to the Indian vision of ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’, defence industrialization and joint development, India and France have expanded their strategic security relations significantly. Such developments point towards convergence in matters of regional and global consequence. The first part of the article examines the historical background of military ties as well as cooperation on non-traditional security threats. The second part attempts to examine the evolving France–India relations in the wake of Chinese aggression along with their engagement in the Indo-Pacific region. The concluding third part extrapolates the findings on to the future to study the challenges to their partnership.

The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) States have over the decades proved to be dependable partners in India’s energy security. However, the energy transition necessitates examining its impact on the India-GCC energy partnership. Will India-GCC energy partnership last the transition from hydrocarbons to renewables? What will be its medium- and long-term impact? Can hydrogen replace hydrocarbons as the vehicle for India-GCC energy cooperation? This article answers some of these questions based on a systematic study of innovation in the field of hydrogen as a fuel, India’s National Green Hydrogen Mission and the growing investments in capacity building in hydrogen production in the GCC States.

| Summary/Abstract |
The Himalayan region is renowned as a powerhouse of Asia. Despite its abundant natural resources, youthful population, and strategic location between two rapidly developing Asian economies, the social and economic conditions in the Himalayan region, particularly in Nepal and Bhutan, have remained consistently underdeveloped. Various factors contribute to this, including climate change-induced disasters, political instability, strained bilateral relations between lower and upper riparian countries, and inadequate resource management. This article aims to address the existing research gap by exploring the energy potential of the Himalayan region and its viability for sustainable economic growth in the face of increasing global temperatures and climate-induced energy crises. The article asserts that, unless the region diversifies its energy sources to include other renewables, the Himalayan region (comprising Nepal, Bhutan, and the Indian Himalayan States-IHS) may not be able to serve as a stable hydro energy supplier to the South Asian region. This is due to inherent challenges and the strategic competition between India and China, both regionally and globally.

Left-Wing Extremism (LWE) in India has had its share of crests and troughs.Footnote1 The movement saw a renewed upward trajectory from 2004 when two major insurgent groups united under a single banner of the Maoist party.Footnote2 In the last decade or so, the insurgency has exhibited a declining trend.Footnote3 26 April 2023 however was an eventful date in so far as LWE in India was concerned. Nonetheless, the event was perhaps no surprise considering the ever predictable and standard modus operandi implemented by India’s Maoist extremists.Footnote4 On 26 April, ten police officials and a driver were assassinated in Chhattisgarh’s Dantewada district, as the Maoists ambushed them through an Improvised Explosive Device (IED).Footnote5
