| Summary/Abstract |
The ongoing worries complicating China's rise are exacerbated by China's perceived double-bind dilemma: China is attacked as a threat to regional stability when it is active in the regional arena and damned as an irresponsible stakeholder when it is not. As an emerging global power China is naturally seeking to secure its ever-increasing interests abroad. Therefore, China's double-bind will intensify as China's foreign policy evolves from 'biding its time and hiding its capacities' to that of an increasingly proactive regional actor. The author argues that, in light of this likely transition in Chinese foreign policy conduct, the time is more pressing than ever before to mitigate anxieties and maximise the chances of China's positive-sum integration within the region. The argument correlates with the proposal by Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd in 2008 that the region begin contemplating the realisation of an Asia Pacific community (APc) concept, as a framework to rehabilitate the region's multilateral architectural mélange and implicitly reform the ASEAN Way-driven modus operandi with a more muscular APc Way. Such an outcome may be realised through streamlining the region's institutional alphabet soup and reforming the lacklustre ASEAN Way.

| Summary/Abstract |
Last August, the Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney performed what has become a quadrennial rite of passage in American presidential politics: he delivered a speech to the annual convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. His message was rooted in another grand American tradition: hyping foreign threats to the United States. It is "wishful thinking," Romney declared, "that the world is becoming a safer place. The opposite is true. Consider simply the jihadists, a near-nuclear Iran, a turbulent Middle East, an unstable Pakistan, a delusional North Korea, an assertive Russia, and an emerging global power called China. No, the world is not becoming safer."

| Summary/Abstract |
India is the world largest democracy, the second most populous nation, one of the fastest growing economies, the fourth largest armed forces in the world and universally acknowledged to be an emerging global power. In 2010 joint study by the US National Intelligence Council and the European Union declared it as the world's third most powerful nation to the pleasant yet some disbelief of even a number of Indians! Yet India's progress and prosperity, it human development indices and the wide spectrum of security challenges confronting it, both internal and external, appear as varied and telling as the endemic diversity of India's demographic, social linguistic, religious, character and content besides a lack in economic inclusiveness or an equitable growth pattern. While millions are racing up the ladder of affluence, many more still live in sub-Sahara like conditions in abject poverty.
