| Summary/Abstract |
The Republic of Belarus occupies the western periphery of geopolitical Eurasia, by which I mean the post-Soviet space, and is fairly far removed from Central Asia. This distance, however, does not mean that Belarus is safely protected from the security threats emanating from the Central Asian region, and, on the whole, Inner Eurasia. The Belarusian expert community is not indifferent to these problems. Belarus has preserved its military and strategic importance for Russia within the categories of European confrontation of the previous period. Today, it is consistently and actively involved in military integration within the CSTO. The armed forces of Russia and Belarus are tied together by the so-called coalition approach. Civilian and military experts of the Republic of Belarus are studying the hypothetical possibility of its involvement, at the technical level, in the Collective Rapid Reaction Force of the CSTO if and when NATO pullout of Afghanistan sends waves of instability across Central Asia.

| Summary/Abstract |
The US occupation of Iraq in 2003 resonated the death knell of a republican, modern, secular, nationalist Iraqi state and the calibrated intention to undermine all existing solidarities by institutionalizing perennial sectarian conflicts. The Americans resolved, remaking the whole of West Asia to suit their economic and political interests, which implied the commencement of an imbroglio that would thereafter sweep the Arab world at least for a couple of decades.

| Summary/Abstract |
The emergence of the Indo-Pacific as a new geopolitical frame ofreference is embedded in the growing strategic importance of themaritime domain and the rise of states that have demonstrated theability to 'transcend' their respective subregions. However, the Indo-Pacific remains a concept in its infancy, as evidenced by the fact that itcontinues to compete with alternative conceptions of regional space inAsia. This article argues that India has a vested interest in the survival ofthis new strategic geography as it serves to reinvigorate the momentumof its post-Cold War re-engagement with Asia under the aegis of its 'LookEast' and 'extended neighbourhood' policies. In this context, India shouldcontinue to cultivate the Indo-Pacific concept and ensure its embrace inthe region's evolving strategic vocabulary.

| Summary/Abstract |
A country’s foreignpolicy comprises of self-interest strategies chosen by the state to safeguard its national interests and to achieve its goals within international relations.The approaches are strategically employed to interact with other countries. In other words, the foreign policy of a country is the sum total of the principles, interests, and objectives which it seeks to promote through its relations with other countries. It is also for influencing and changing the behavior of other states and for adjusting its own activities to the international environment. So the conduct and formulation of foreign policy is governed by the interplay of numerous determinants, institutions, processes and personalities.

| Summary/Abstract |
The Arctic, always before on the frigid edges of the international imagination, is becoming a hot topic in world affairs, particularly in Asia, because of its virtually untapped resources and increasing strategic importance. In 2012, the amount of cargo transported through the region more than doubled, and in May 2013 the Arctic Council, traditionally membered by Europe's Nordic countries, along with Russia, Canada, and the US, granted observer status to China, Japan, India, South Korea, Singapore, and Italy, a reminder that climate change is opening the Arctic to wider use and commercial exploitation, especially by Asian interests. Indeed, a Chinese shipping company sent that country's first commercial voyage through the Arctic in September 2013. And Russia is negotiating with Korean shippers about using the Northern Sea Route (NSR) for energy shipments. These developments are already bringing the Arctic and Asian security agendas together, and in the process changing Asia's strategic boundaries and planning.

| Summary/Abstract |
Geography plays an extremely important role in the economic wellbeing as well as strategic and foreign policy formulation of a nation. Factors such as size, location, climate, availability and accessibility to natural resources dictates a nations strength and weaknesses, and influences its philosophy, attitude and standing. Thus nations derive their powers from strategic environment like mountains, long coast lines and accessibility to various other natural assets.

| Summary/Abstract |
Given the importance of Central and East Asia to the current U.S. strategic landscape, it is curious that policymakers and historians largely overlooked the countries of South Asia during the Cold War, and especially the strategic import of Bangladesh. Nestled between the current con?ict in Afghanistan and threats of future competition with China or North Korea, and particularly vulnerable to "environmental emergencies," the region perhaps deserves a more strategic assessment than has previously been afforded A recent trove of studies on South Asia-focused on the Bay of Bengal writ large and Bangladesh speci?cally- illuminates the historical context for U.S. and global engagement in the region, accounting for the geopolitical, strategic and economic importance of the often- neglected Bangladesh.

| Summary/Abstract |
The Bay of Bengal region is now growing in economic and strategic importance. The good economic prospects of many Bay of Bengal states are making the region a cockpit for Asian growth and a key economic connector between East and South Asia. This article looks at strategic developments in the Bay of Bengal and their implications for our understanding of the Indo-Pacific. It argues that the Bay of Bengal needs to be understood as a region with its own particular strategic dynamics and issues. The area is fast becoming a key zone of strategic competition in Asia and is of vital strategic importance to India.
