| Summary/Abstract |
Neighbouring states are most relevant in foreign policy' and Myanmar, indeed, has strategic, economic, cultural and religious signi?cance for India. Myanmar is not where only China and India 'meet'; it is also the intersection between South Asia and Southeast Asiaz. It is a gateway to South Asia and a land bridge to the Association for Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). It is an opportunity and also brings with it a certain amount of vulnerabilities as well. Myanmar has huge potential for meeting India's energy requirement and for markets for Indian consumer goods; in return, India can contribute immensely in the field of infrastructure development, communication, education, tourism industry, science and technology. India and Myanmar are historically linked to each other through religion, people-to-people contact and sharing ethnically identical populations on both sides of the borders. The porous land borders of India and Myanmar are a cause of concern for peace, stability and economic development. Inhospitable terrain and an underdeveloped border region provide an ideal platform for insurgents, non-state actors, drugs and weapons traffickers to operate and spread their network

| Summary/Abstract |
This article examines the current crisis in Guatemala as a case study in the phenomenon of "criminal insurgency" in Latin America. Since the close of Guatemala's civil war in 1996, crime-especially violent crime-has increased dramatically, to the point that drug traffickers, organized crime syndicates, and youth gangs are effectively waging a form of irregular warfare against the state. The police, the judiciary, and entire local and departmental governments are rife with criminal infiltrators; murder statistics have surpassed civil-war levels in recent years; criminal operatives assassinate government officials and troublesome members of the political class; and chunks of territory are now effectively under the control of criminal groups. All this has led to growing civic disillusion and eroded the authority and legitimacy of the government. Rampant crime is causing a crisis of the democratic state.

| Summary/Abstract |
Neither intensifying the drug war nor legalizing all drugs offers much hope of reducing drug abuse in the United States or lessening violence in Mexico. The key to changing outcomes on both sides of the border is changing the incentives facing dealers and users.

| Summary/Abstract |
President Duterte has launched a wide-ranging campaign of extra judicial killings in violation of constitutional norms and legal procedures. Disregarding ASEAN practices, he has also initiated a strategic shift away from the US towards China and Russia. Vinod Saighal points out that the advent of the Trump administration may halt the far reaching moves, although the evolution of the Philippines’ policies is unpredictable.
