Summary/Abstract |
Since independence from British rule, the Union of Myanmar (Burma) has been undermined by several secessionist movements, pitting ethno-religious minorities against the dominant Barmar population. as such, the country exemplifies the fragility and fissiparousness of most nation-states in Asia, exposed to internal subversion often fostered by outside forces. this article analyses the main regional insurgent actors and the present government’s plan to end conflict by conceding wide autonomy to minority areas within a genuine federal structure as intended by the Panglong Agreement of 1947.

Summary/Abstract |
Although there are positive signs of a big power playing an important and responsible role in a war ravaged country in its aftermath, China's foray in Afghanistan reflects that it is walking a diplomatic tightrope in Afghanistan. It is trying hard to maintain a silent but highly strategic presence in the country while at the same time managing its relations with other actors present in Afghanistan. However, as the date of US-NATO exit plan by the end of 2014 approaches; the politics between various domestic, regional, and international actors get surcharged.

Summary/Abstract |
ASEAN has proven to be a successful regional association. It has much to offer the IOR and its sub-regions as the larger region moves to a new era of development and regional institution-building. It could play a useful role in dampening down some of the instability that is emerging in the IOR. Therefore, ASEAN as an institution and as a potential security stabilizer in the region and its members, cannot afford to ignore these trends and should pay increased attention to promoting links with all the important countries of the IOR, especially with an "emerged great power" like India. China's rapid rise to great power status and India's emergence as a major power compelled new ways of thinking about the relationship between the Pacific and Indian Oceans as well as between East Asia, South Asia, West Asia and East Africa.

Summary/Abstract |
To increase India's 'soft power' in the region, India must also take note of the factors that are eroding it and must envisage actionable corrective measures with a long time perspective plan. To conclude, India's 'soft power' strategy in its LEP can go beyond its present role promising great possibilities and rich dividends in the future. But is India ready to act hard on 'soft power'?
