Summary/Abstract |
Though long in the offing, US withdrawal from Afghanistan became a reality with the signing of the Doha Agreement on 29 February 2020, ultimately leading to the establishment of Taliban 2.0 in Kabul. The unravelling of the two-decade-old US-led war and reconstruction effort in Afghanistan led to a long-predicted scramble among the regional powers to fill the vacuum created by US withdrawal and threw up a plethora of intriguing questions, particularly regarding China’s role and interests in the region. This article seeks to understand and analyze China’s ever-growing engagement in Afghanistan through the paradigm of Realism, arguing that China has long-term geo-strategic and geo-economic interests in the region which requires it to coordinate more closely with Pakistan and Iran and innovate diplomatically. This article is divided into two sections. The first section focuses on China’s interests in Afghanistan viz. BRI-CPEC extension in Afghanistan, rare earth, and the need to ensure peace and stability. The second section assesses China’s response to the emerging situation by focusing on China’s engagement with the Taliban 2.0 and co-opting of Pakistan and Iran for safeguarding its long-term interests. This article concludes while looking at the position of India in the gamut.

Summary/Abstract |
This paper highlights China’s views regarding CPEC and argues that stakes are very high for China in CPEC, and it is a project that must succeed if BRI is to go down in history as a success. However, CPEC’s success cannot be ensured without responding to the security challenge present in Pakistan and Afghanistan, which has the potential to jeopardise the CPEC and as a result the entire BRI. Hence, China is required to engage with both Pakistan and Afghanistan to ensure the long-term security of the CPEC. Building of CPEC and its further extension leaves India with limited options but augmenting economic, political and security concerns.

Summary/Abstract |
The unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or the unmanned aircraft, commonly called ‘drones’, have emerged as the new face of a technologically oriented warfare today. They provide the state with the technological capabilities to strike with utmost accuracy without the risk of endangering human lives of the armed forces. Today, drones have become the strategic weapons of choice for most of the states, including India. However, as the military technologies keep advancing and proliferation methods become more sophisticated (the case of UAVs illustrates this point), there is a challenge to the effectiveness of the existing arms control and export control regimes, like the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR), Wassenaar Arrangement, the Arms Trade Treaty. Indeed, one would wonder if the current international control measures are enough to prevent the proliferation of drones. This article aims to investigate some of these issues and answer whether proliferation of drones challenge the existing arms control regimes, and if so, how states should establish or modify the drones/arms control regimes to limit the proliferation of drones without endangering national security.

Summary/Abstract |
International politics is churning again. With conflict emerging between major powers like China and the US in the form of trade wars and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, it is essential for countries to guard their national interest above all else. With the possibility of a new world order emerging from this churn, Indian government now maintains a balance when it comes to engaging with the great powers. Additionally, with the threat of climate change looming over the entire world, countries need to prepare themselves against the recurring natural catastrophes and take preventative measures to reduce its impact. Furthermore, India being a democracy, espousing democratic values in international politics is also its goal.

Summary/Abstract |
Considering China’s recent engagement with the Taliban regarding China’s security concerns, as well as the possibility of Afghanistan’s participation in the BRI via the extension of CPEC to Afghanistan, it appears that there is a significant likelihood of extending CPEC to Afghanistan. This raises a number of questions. How is the new Taliban version distinct from its previous model? Has the Taliban changed its position on issues like women’s rights and support for terrorist organisations? How much would the new Taliban play into Pakistan’s hands, undermining the interests of various countries in the region, including India? The answers to these questions will provide vital insight into how the CPEC expansion may impact the region.
