Summary/Abstract |
For the Mumbai attacks of 26 November 2008, the Lashakr-e-Taiba recived training, funding and technical gadgets from the Inter-Service Intelligence (ISI) Pakistan, Middle East countries and United States (US) based companies restively. Fomenting insurgencies and supporting terrorism has been a major component of Pakistan's national strategy, especially against India. Yet t Indian security agencies are still badly trained and poorly equipped. Although, global cooperation is essential in combating international terrorism, the US has adopted selective rather than unified and comprehensive cunterterrorism measures to deal with this scourge in South Asia. It is no secret that the real rulers in Pakistan are the army and the ISI and at times they dwarf the civilian government in decision-making. If extremist forces take over Afghanistan and Pakistan, the world will become significantly less secure. However, international cooperation is not an entitlement and India must firs set its own house in order

Summary/Abstract |
Analysed here is the vexing Kashmir issue from various angles - firstly with regard to the lingering potential for nuclear conflict between India, Pakistan and possibly china and secondly in view of the growing socio - political alienations and divisions within both Indian and Pakistani societies, which risk disintegration as a result. The author also notes the rise of BRIC nations in the new multipolar system and places the Kashmir dispute in the context of the conflict between radicalized Muslims and people of other faiths as an aspect of the reassertion of rival culture and religious identities worldwide. Finally if India and Pakistan connot rise above their quarrel by symbiotically investing in their mutual stability, they will allow Western nation and China to dictate on outcome.

Summary/Abstract |
The reconfiguration of Southeast Asia (SEA) is explored, with respect to the emergence of India and the rise of China, in shaping the region as a multipolar political space, focusing on understanding the fluidity of SEA as an economic and political source of regional power, especially in the aftermath of the diffusion of bipolar political dominance in the region with the end of the cold war.
An examination of the political economy and the formation of regional powers reveals the nature of this fluidity and its transformation. The region will play a large role in determining the futures of India and China where not only their impact on the region, but also its impact on them, will contribute to the ways, in which the two nations evolve,
