| Summary/Abstract |
The popular uprisings and ensuing political developments in North Africa entail serious implications for Africa and its emerging peace and security regime, otherwise known as the African Peace and Security Architecture (APSA). Notably, they triggered questions on the adequacy of the normative and policy frameworks of the APSA to provide clear guidelines on how the African Union (AU) may pursue a principled response to similar events. Most importantly, the events have put to the test the potential role and limitations of the APSA to address serious democratic deficits. In this article, it is argued that although the issues that precipitated the uprisings are identified as threats to peace and security under the APSA, the APSA lacked clear guidance on how the AU may pursue a principled response to the uprisings. Nor did it prescribe the means of adequately enforcing the commitments AU member states undertook in the various AU instruments. While the article proffers options for rectifying these gaps, it notes that many of the limitations of the APSA arise from constraints of consensus-building among, and political will of, member states to respond to crises coherently and effectively.

| Summary/Abstract |
With the fast changing of world scenario and the politics evolving around it, especially where India is more concern, is a great challenge for the Indian foreign policy. It is hard to predict what the 21st century will turn out to be, but we live in a time when our inter-dependent and networked lives co-exist. China has gradually surrounded India and is influencing all the Indian neighboring countries.

| Summary/Abstract |
The introduction of multiparty politics in Africa and the resultant electoral democracy have had mixed outcomes in Africa. While there has been a general improvement in the continent's body politic and governance outlook, there have also been incidences where the democratic project has, by default or design, undermined or been undermined by Africa's structural fault lines that have led to relapses into instability and violence. This article reflects on the democratic project, particularly on the aspect of electoral democracy, by revisiting its trajectory and examining its challenges and prospects on the continent.
