| Summary/Abstract |
Enclaves are the most distressed areas in the world where the ray of development hardly reaches. This study aims to evaluate the progress in the development in Dahagram–Angarpota enclave of Bangladesh after the initiation of 24-h open corridor access through the Indian territory in 2011. The study reveals that after 24-h open access through the corridor, the enclave achieved substantial positive changes in all the five indicators, namely, economic, social and infrastructural, technological, health and demographic indicators. However, the achievement in the four influential factors of development such as income, wealth, poverty and food security are still below the national level. Binary logistic regression model identified a positive change in income–wealth index of households through the changes in corridor access, education, electricity supply, number of livestock and involvement with micro credit. In the process of raising income–wealth, achieving food security and alleviating poverty, this study has suggested some policy recommendations that would guide different development programmes in the area.

| Summary/Abstract |
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), founded in 1967, has proved to be one of the most successful regional organisations, whose example as a model is often cited when similar ideas are floated elsewhere. Started initially with five core members, it subsequently expanded to the present ten countries as members of the organisation. The primary focus in the initial phase of its existence was on economic cooperation. In the subsequent years, it started embracing security/strategic issues and threats to non-traditional security keeping in tune with changing times. The latest in this journey is the founding of the ASEAN Economic Community, which was established in 2015. This essay examines its evolution, performance and some of the challenges confronting the organisation and what future holds for it.

| Summary/Abstract |
The international relations literature on regionalism, both in economic and security issues, has grown dramatically over the last 15 years. One of the ongoing issues discussed in most articles and books is the conceptualisation of 'region'. Instead of thinking about regions using notions of interdependence and interaction we take a social constructivist approach, whereby states themselves define regions via the construction of regional economic institutions (REI). We explore how a conceptualisation of region based on REIs contrasts with various related concepts such as regional system, and regional IGO. Empirically, we show that most all countries belong to at least one important regional economic institution, REI, (for example, EU, Mercosur, ASEAN, etc). In short, the world is dividing itself into regions by the creation of regional economic institutions. We contrast our economic-institutional approach to regions with Buzan and Wæver's 'regional security complexes' which is based on security dependence. There are interesting agreements and disagreements between their approach and our economic-institutional approach to defining regions. It is perhaps not surprising that many REIs have taken on security roles, which we briefly show by looking at military alliances embedded in REIs. This suggests that policymakers are creating regions through institutional innovations that link economic and security issues.

| Summary/Abstract |
It is not often that one comes across academic opinions from Taiwan on issues local and global. This special issue of the China Report titled 'Taiwanese Engagement with the Indo-Pacific' details perceptions of leading scholars from reputed universities and think-tanks in Taiwan on strategic and security issues faced by the island. The discourse on Taiwan's need for security in a constantly changing world is an intensive and engaging arena that throws up voluble insights into the pace, depth, variety and intensity of Cross-Strait relations, engagement with the United States, policy on South China Sea disputes, contestations of external policy in the internal political sphere and relations with other stakeholders of the international system including India.

| Summary/Abstract |
Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zones (NWFZs) are binding agreements to prevent the acquisition and stationing of nuclear weapons within a particular region, and to secure guarantees from nuclear states not to use or threaten to use nuclear weapons against the zone. In the context of developing dialogues on nuclear proliferation and security issues in the Asian region, the existing Southeast Asian NWFZ (Bangkok Treaty), the current negotiations towards a Central Asian NWFZ, and proposals for NWFZs in South Asia and Northeast Asia, are examined and assessed from the viewpoint of their contributions to regional arms control and security, scope, and prospects for implementation. It is concluded that such zones provide an important avenue, in conjunction with the Nonproliferation Treaty, for regional groups of states in Asia to reduce nuclear proliferation threats within their own regions, to gain security assurances from the nuclear powers, and to facilitate wider confidence-building and cooperative security approaches to nuclear and weapons-of-mass destruction threats across the Asian region. Proposed ways forward include enhanced cooperation between existing NWFZ states, further international conferences in UN studies on NWFZ initiatives, and civil society pressures to establish NWFZs.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article explores how changing US security policies toward India were enabled by policy discourses. Since the second Clinton administration, the United States has shown a continuous interest in India. In order to analyze this, the article makes use of a critical constructivist approach in which phenomena are seen as socially constructed. It reveals how meanings are produced and attached to objects such as the United States and India within policy discourses. In policy discourses, security policies are not merely solutions to security issues: Policy discourses help to construct how security problems, objects, and subjects should be understood, and they simultaneously articulate security policies to solve the issues. These policy discourses enable and constrain foreign policy options available to foreign policy-makers. This article demonstrates that in 1997, India’s subject-position transformed, which made possible future policy changes in US foreign policy toward India.

| Summary/Abstract |
Mohd Firoz Ahamed presents various security related issues in the Indian Ocean, which although regional in nature are crucial for geopolitics. Providing a background to India–Oman relations, he states that the two countries have been interlinked historically not only through culture and trade as the security equation has also made a significant contribution in framing the relationship.
