| Summary/Abstract |
East Asia now occupies a prominent place in the study of international relations (IR). This, of course, does not mean that IR scholarship in the past failed to pay due attention to East Asia. Wars, trade, and international integration in this region have been the subject of analysis in countless books and scholarly articles. However, the renewed interest in this region is not so much empirically driven (to increase East Asian coverage in the literature) as before but rather represents a theoretical inquiry pertinent to the intellectual underpinning of the scholarship itself. Today, some experts of the region harshly criticize the 'euro-centric' bias of existing IR study and seek to provide alternative conceptions based on the East Asian experience.1 In response, other scholars have advanced views less provocative but more nuanced about the originality of East Asia. And, there are still others who flatly reject the connotation that the logic of East Asian international relations is inherently different from that elsewhere. Thus, a diverse set of perspectives has been laid out on the table, but their strengths and shortcomings are yet to be evaluated systematically.

| Summary/Abstract |
The India-US strategic partnership is unequal. The US is a global power and India is, at best, a regional one. The USA would want to fit India into the jigsaw puzzle of its global interests, whereas India can only hope that the USA would increasingly align itself with its regional interests. Even achieving this would be difficult as the USA has historically pursued policies in our neighbourhood that have been detrimental to our interests; even now it is unable to overcome the legacy of the past, or go beyond the traditional ties it has developed with particular countries in our region, and the geopolitical need to maintain a certain regional balance so that its primacy is maintained. Nevertheless, the transformation in ties is real. If a realistic, and not an idealised, view of the relationship is taken, the overall assessment of the strategic partnership and its future seems to be positive in all objectivity.

| Summary/Abstract |
The vast majority of Indians is worried about China`s rise and considers it a security threat, an opinion poll has revealed, with the result exposing a serious trust deficit between the Asian giants. The surveys, conducted by the Lowy Institute for international policy and the Australia Indian Institute, Found that 83 per cent of Indians considered China a security Threat. A possible war with China was rated a "big Threat" by almost three in four respondents. Reasons included China`s possession of nuclear weapon, competition for resources, and border disputes. Even through China is now India`s largest trading partner, just 31 per cent of Indians agreed that China`s rise had been good for India.

| Summary/Abstract |
Inaugurated in December 2012, the second Abe administration embarked upon a number of initiatives, including recovery after the Great East Japan Earthquake and economic revitalization. Japan's defense force is also an area for review and deliberation. To be better prepared to respond to natural disasters as well as to promote cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region, Japan is pursuing strengthened defense force for its national interest in a harmonized manner with regional interests and global security.
