| Summary/Abstract |
In January 2012, the Obama Administration was reportedly sketching
a new space arms control initiative that would broadly contain
the European Union (EU) draft Code of Conduct.
1
Reportedly,
it is an attempt to outline the international norms and connote
commencement of the obligation for non-threatening activities in
space. It aims at encouraging transparency among nations that have
space programmes and diminishing the damage caused by hazardous
debris, and generally makes an international call for space security
considerations. However, this announcement implies the possibility
of an arms control treaty, which following the space policy unveiled
last year, is completely averse to the US unilateral stance supported
by the Bush Administration. Obama's new plan is domestically facing
tremendous critics, and there are concerns over the US space military
capability and dominance cornering into limitation.

| Summary/Abstract |
As a significant step in strengthening the India - Korea strategic partnership, New Delhi opened a defence wing in Seoul on November 6,2012,anticipating the possibility of altering the geo - political realities in Asia. This initiative has drawn attention from other neighbouring countries. In tune with nurturing defence cooperation between India and South Korea, the two players seem to have not only become bigger stakeholders in Asia, but also two have taken a position that provides aligned priorities on designing a strategic hedge against rivals of both countries. A series of interactions and achievements propelled by the two countries during the last few years has provided momentum and thrust to this partnership. Keeping in mind the regional geo - political underpinnings, will this nascent strategic cooperation lead to a greater and responsive high - technology collaboration?

| Summary/Abstract |
Presently, the world seems to be facing a nuclear turning point.
1
Whereas certain optimists view the existence of nuclear weapons
as, to some extent, likely to stabilise international security, nuclear
security has emerged as one of the most fearful threats to global
security. The growing accuracy and predictable use of nuclear
weapons is now, more than ever, creating a need for world leaders
to control and eliminate the dangers posed by the acquisition of such
weapons by aspiring parties and nations. In the meantime, though
the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan threatens to disrupt nuclear
energy programmes in the world, it is undeniable that the demand
for nuclear energy is increasing in many countries, thus, making it
imperative that we earnestly contemplate the many ramifications of
these developments. At this point, while it is difficult to separate the
military and civilian uses of nuclear technology, there is a need for
legitimised and organisational action to work against illegal nuclear
proliferation on a global level, which will require much goodwill and
cooperation among nations.
