Summary/Abstract |
India's Myanmar policy and its shift from an idealist position to one that is driven by pragmatism is a subject matter of much importance today as regards the success of India's rejuvenated 'Look East Policy'. Considering the reasons for the policy change, the article examines as to how far the policy is adequate for fulfilment of India's objectives in that country. But, above all, India has to maintain a cordial relationship with Myanmar's newly elected civilian government headed by President Thein Sein to extend its influence in Southeast Asia and also due to internal security concerns of its north-eastern states, which are under continuous threat from various insurgent groups.

Summary/Abstract |
This article, written before the recent floods, notes that ever since Independence, problems of identity, national security and ethnicity have contributed to Pakistan's history of instability. As a result the country now faces three crises, firstly a conflict over governance between the military and the civilian politicians; secondly a growing terrorist threat from extremist groups, a threat which the army has been slow to recognise; and thirdly a severe economic crisis which complicates the response to the first two crises. The challenge is to start the process of nation-building and achieve a sustained period of democracy under a civilian government, however imperfect. There are some good signs: a small but increasingly vocal middle class is emerging and the press is becoming more influential. But success will also require policy shifts on security from both the army and India. There is not much sign of movement from either of them.
