2009.

Summary/Abstract

This paper argues that the fluidity that permeates the contemporary international community is driven by especially political and economic globalisation, which has a huge impact on the relationship between the nation and the state. As the individual nation state is increasingly dependent on the international community for its economic survival this dependency on the global has as a consequence that it rolls back aspects of national sovereignty thus opening up the national hinterland for further international influences. These developments initiate a process of disaggregating state and nation, meaning that a gradual disarticulation of the relationship between state and nation produces new societal spaces, which are contested by non-statist interest groups and transnational more or less deterritorialised ethnic affiliated groups and networks. The argument forwarded in this article is that Southeast Asians of Chinese descent utilise these newly created spaces for setting up diasporic-like networks thus providing substance for transnational ethnoscapes or nations without states.

Reconceptualising land warfighting strategy / Sharma, Rakesh

Sharma, Rakesh	Journal Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

Without the benefit of a formalized National Security Strategy, a maze of pronouncements and reflections dictate the ongoing broad war-fighting conceptology. Two or two and a half front (simultaneous) war under a nuclear overhang, the basis of current strategic and structural construct, is one such key element. Often short, intense, swift, limited wars are spoken of without exemplifying or paraphrasing it towards implementation or structural transition. The on-going thrust towards military modernisation and capability building (including for deterrence) relies on these constructs.
