Bhutan and climate change: identifying strategic implications / Bisht, Medha   Journal Article
Bisht, Medha Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract The paper seeks to understand Bhutan's climate diplomacy and to identify the strategic implications of climate change for Bhutan. The implications are scaled at the national and the regional levels. The impact of climate change is studied within the broader analytical framework of the threats posed and the opportunities offered to Bhutan in the context of regional politics. The main argument is that India-Bhutan cooperation on climate change needs to be synchronized with the co-benefit approach, which India has been articulating at the national level. This approach, it is argued, will go a long way towards evolving a 'nuanced' approach in contemporary environmental diplomacy.

Bhutan–India power cooperation: benefits beyond bilateralism / Bisht, Medha   Journal Article
Bisht, Medha Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2012.
Summary/Abstract The article argues that as India and Bhutan have moved into the second phase of power cooperation, it is important that the two countries revisit their policies and identify approaches that will be sustainable in the long term. The article emphasises that a sub-regional energy grid between Bhutan, India and Bangladesh can become an effective conduit for strengthening sub-regional diplomacy and help in addressing the latent but underlying concerns of Bhutan, which have the potential to impact India-Bhutan bilateral relations in the long term.

Bhutan's foreign policy determinants: an assessment / Bisht, Medha   Journal Article
Bisht, Medha Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2012.
Summary/Abstract This article assesses the shifting preferences of Bhutan towards the foreign policy determinants. Three determinants (national security, political culture and economic engagement) have been studied as they play a significant role in shaping Bhutan's policy behaviour. These determinants have been analysed with respect to India, Nepal and China, three countries that have been of critical interest to Bhutan's foreign policy. The main argument of the paper is that when security threats are high or medium, protecting territorial integrity, sovereignty and political culture shapes Bhutan's foreign policy and, alternatively, when security threats are low, economic opportunities determine Bhutan's foreign policy choices.

Concept of ‘Order’ in Arthashastra: re-engaging the text / Bisht, Medha   Journal Article
Bisht, Medha Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Going beyond the binaries of Western and non-Western, this article lays out a conceptual–analytical frame for understanding ‘order’ in international relations (IR). What does ‘order’ mean? What are its key characteristics? How is the conventional ‘Western’ understanding different from or similar to the understanding advanced in Arthashastra ? These are some questions that this article seeks to address. The article picks up the discussion on English School of IR, juxtaposing it with Kautilya’s Arthashastra . The indicators chosen for this more revisionist interpretation of the text are ‘operative principles’, ‘code of conduct’ and ‘structures’. It is argued that the Kautilyan concept of order is broadly normative whereby norms were stipulated by the dharmashastras . Thus, underlining the distinct cultural and contextual undertones, the article emphasises that the normative underpinnings of ‘order’ in Arthashastra have to be read within the existing philosophical frames of the Hindu tradition. The cognitive–cultural frame of understanding orders perhaps best suits the purpose.

India-Bhutan relations: from developmental cooperation to strategic partnership / Bisht, Medha   Journal Article
Bisht, Medha Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2010.
Summary/Abstract The India-Bhutan relationship is perhaps the only bilateral engagement in South Asia, yielding high dividends to both parties. While Bhutan all through the years has appreciated India for its economic assistance, India, for its part, has been sensitive to Bhutan's developmental needs. The relationship has helped Bhutan shape a unique developmental trajectory based on gross national happiness. Bhutan's economy has grown substantially in recent years. However, the development cooperation between the two countries can be effectively divided into three significant waves. The first wave (1960s-1970s) focused on building the social and physical infrastructure. The second wave (1980s-1990s) saw substantive efforts towards democratisation and decentralisation. The third wave of the relationship focused on developing hydel projects, which has now expanded into other areas such as information technology, disaster risk management, education and research cooperation.

Towards a networked strategy: framework for maritime South Asia / Bisht, Medha   Journal Article
Bisht, Medha Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This article revisits the widely cited SAGAR speech by the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, delivered on 12 March 2015, at Port Louis, Mauritius. It takes the speech as a foundation to revisit the meaning of maritime South Asia, bringing to fore a ‘networked identity’ of the Ocean. This approach, while incorporating a dimension of resilience, also offers a conceptual/policy window to deal with complex traditional and non-traditional threats emanating from maritime space. Concepts from network literature, such as connections, relationality and communication are employed to invoke networked imageries of the Ocean at a metaphorical, conceptual and praxeological level. In arguing for international/interregional maritime cooperation, SDG-14 is presented as an essential background condition for effective translation of SAGAR speech into this novel framework, which helps in raising critical questions related to maritime security and development.
