Summary/Abstract |
Yunnan was one of the worst-hit areas during World War II, almost completely destroyed by Japanese bombing. By today the province has been rebuilt, however, and the old Burma Road - that icon of the war, used to transport support material for the Allies into China - has been upgraded into a six-lane highway. Once it crosses the Chinese border, however, this potentially lucrative land link between China and India falls into disrepair, despite years of plans to upgrade it. On the Indian side, the Ledo Road (or Stilwell Road, after an American general), links up to the Burma Road, and is indeed motorable. But it too falls into disrepair on the Burma side.

Summary/Abstract |
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies hold great promise for facilitating military decisions, minimising human causalities and enhancing the combat potential of forces. This article focuses on development and fielding of Lethal Autonomous Weapon Systems (LAWS) against the backdrop of rapid advances in the field of AI, and its relevance to the Indian security scenario. It gives a broad overview of the possible military applications of this technology and brings out the main legal and ethical issues involved in the current ongoing debate on development of LAWS. Further, international as well as Indian perspectives are given out on the development and deployment of LAWS. It reviews the status of AI technology in India, assesses the current capability of the Indian Army (IA) to adapt to this technology, and suggest steps which need to be taken on priority to ensure that Indian defence forces keep pace with other advanced armies in the race to usher in a new AI-triggered Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA).

Summary/Abstract |
Australia’s comprehensive strategic approach towards the Indo-Pacific region and a renewed interest in the Indian Ocean has served to rekindle its relationship with India. Australia’s recently released 2016 Defence White Paper (DWP 2016) demonstrates that a growing convergence in strategic approaches can be discerned as Australia looks West and India begins to ‘Act East’.

Summary/Abstract |
Humankind and its quest for development has brought the planet at the verge of facing existential crisis. Loss of biodiversity, disturbed heat budget of earth, imbalanced ecosystem equilibrium and unstable carbon cycle are all consequences to massive and unsustainable industrialisation and greenhouse gas emissions from vehicular exhaust, agriculture and burning of fossil fuels. Realising the threats and inevitability of climate change, a momentum was built towards climate action which included climate governance, mitigation, adaptation and climate finances. This paper focuses on the 2022 climate summit held in Egypt (COP 27) which aims to bring climate action and collaborate to fight climate emergency. Developing strategies for decarbonisation, emission reduction and setting up long term and affordable climate finance mechanisms to facilitate capacity building and devolution of resources for efforts in mitigation and adaptation against climate change.

Summary/Abstract |
Covid has not required a global economic crisis or a World War to become a pandemic. It is, in contrary, threatening to accelerate a global economic slowdown and fuel a conflict of global proportions among major powers over scarce resources and strategic influence. The on-going pandemic will have significant economic impact globally.

Summary/Abstract |
This article analyses the contrary approaches and perceptions of India and China across the economic, political and military domains including the unresolved border and territorial issues, China’s South Asia policy, military modernisation and nuclear competition, border infrastructure and its impact on military build-up in the border areas. In particular, the article investigates how India–China relations have changed under Chinese President Xi Jinping. Although some continuity is discerned in China’s policies, there is also greater aggressiveness and more vigorous efforts to balance India on China’s part.

Summary/Abstract |
This article attempts to understand BRICS from the perspective of a multi-polar world order and the role played by India at the BRICS. Specifically, the article looks at the implication that BRICS has for future of multilateralism, promoting new institutional delivery mechanisms, upholding the space for development and equity, and highlights India’s contribution to the shaping of the BRICS agenda. The future of BRICS cooperation and scope for deeper collaboration would necessarily evolve out of the priorities of global governance reforms, contribution to global public goods, meaningful economic cooperation, deepening of institution-building efforts and the convergence of the guiding principles.
