| Summary/Abstract |
International political order has always been in flux. This has been the history of international relations since the dawn of colonialism and its eclipse. Colonialism was demarcated by the absolute ruthlessness of the colonisers towards the colonised. Colonialism impacted many countries leaving them dealing with issues that still smoulder. The wars of the last century revealed the use of the colonised as cannon fodder for conflicts that were essentially, between colonisers.

| Summary/Abstract |
China and Pakistan relations are at their strongest today reflecting many facets, some known and some evolving. Known facets are the following – China’s increasing leverage in Pakistan, Pakistan’s admiration for being considered a ballast to the ‘One Road One Belt’ initiative from China, China’s ploughing ahead in a region where ‘norms’ are unknown, Pakistan’s adroit shift in cultivating the superpowers over decades with the United States being supplanted by China, and, the relative weak response from India to the changing strategic tectonics in the region.

| Summary/Abstract |
A noteworthy aspect of China’s growing centrality to global politics are the methodologies the country adopts when deepening its influence with smaller countries. Whether they are countries of Africa, South America or Asia, Chinese influence, in economic terms to begin with, is increasing year after year. China’s growing influence is a rather new slant in international geopolitics where the inconsistencies of the past – the Cold War and the two world wars of the 20th century - are now increasingly being replaced by newer expressions, especially the rise of China in economic and strategic terms.

| Summary/Abstract |
The 'rise of China' discourse articulates the transformation of China's internal structure and growth of its comprehensive national strength. From a Chinese perspective, the 'rise of China' and 'peaceful development' are concurrent themes that express and blend with the twin trends of globalisation and multipolarisation. This article argues that by adhering to the processes of 'multilateralism' and promoting 'commercial diplomacy', China has consciously made efforts to improve its international image

| Summary/Abstract |
For long a marginal sphere in geopolitics, South Asia is now witnessing the beginnings of a rivalry with newer shades of a strategic calculus altering the geopolitical landscape of the region. If the cold war years were marked by a benign neglect of South Asia by the ‘superpowers,’ the current epoch is increasingly highlighting the centrality of the region not only to Asia, but also, to the world beyond. This article argues that a strategic paradox exists in South Asia with India remaining the central pillar and regional superpower – owing more to geography - while China is fast making inroads into the region, hoping to off-balance India in the process and emerge as the new fulcrum.

| Summary/Abstract |
Democracy is the most ideal political construct where everyone is equal owing to the rule of law being the paramount equalizer. The regular manner in which elections to public office are held are tantamount to the functioning of a political system where the voice of the people prevails. Issues motivating people to vote depend on issues domestic and global, with the average constituent aware of the pluses and minuses faced at the individual level.

India and Iran are indeed a bilateral puzzle. Geographically close, politically different, in economic terms relatively distant and culturally sharing similarities, their near neighbourliness has not manifested into a self-sustaining relationship for several reasons. This aspect of a bilateral being guided into institutional and political historical ignorance needs correction…now. This article strives to argue for a stronger bilateral between the two countries.

| Summary/Abstract |
Foreign policy of a country represents the manner and intent announcing to the world, comprising the comity of nations and multilateral institutions, a systematic pattern of behaviour, where sovereignty, territorial integrity and autonomy of decision making, not constrained by others is paramount. Sovereignty is at the core of national interests and for a world shaped by a Westphalian methodology of what a country ought to be, independence of decision making comes at the forefront.

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.

A continuity in international relations and global security has been the prevalence of variables and determinants. Variables are intrinsic and dynamic, while determinants are central and reveal a relative flexibility when political and economic considerations mutate.

| Summary/Abstract |
The recent election in Sri Lanka, witnessed Gotabaya Rajapaksa elected President, a laudable development with a lot of implications for the island and South Asia in particular. India as South Asia’s largest country cognises the overwhelming changes taking place. The geographical and historical symbiosis between the two countries necessitates a bilateral relationship where the two countries cannot be seen as following a different weltanschauung.
