There is nothing more difficult to carry out, nor more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to handle, than to initiate a new order of things - Machiavelli
There has been a continuing transformation in the art and science of war ever since the aircraft was first used as a weapon of war, and then with the adoption of technological excellence. The use of the third dimension to enhance military capabilities had developed and settled during World War II. Gen Eisenhower put emphasis in his words when he stated, "The Normandy landings were based on a deep-seated faith in the power of the air force in overwhelming numbers to intervene in the land battle." Ever since that era, aviators, the world over, have been putting forth their case that air power should hold centre-stage in any war.

India, throughout its existence, has remained a land power. India too has a rich martial tradition, but a tradition that is deeply entrenched in its threat perception which is primarily focussed on its northwestern border. The evolution of this mindset has its reasons; throughout its :history, almost all the invasions came from the northwestern border -through the passes in the Hindul

| Summary/Abstract |
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fifth Assessment Scienti?c Report, published on March 31, 2014, once again reemphasised that climate change is real, caused by humans, and it continues unabated.' If humanity does not choose to reduce global carbon emissions and live in harmony with nature, global warming will continue and the Earth will see far more dangerous and potentially irreversible impacts in the decades ahead. There has never been a greater urgency to act than there is now.

| Summary/Abstract |
China has been surging ahead and pushing for infrastructural development in the western region of the country, which includes the restive areas of the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region (XUAR) and the Tibetan Autonomous Region (TAR). This push is essential if it sincerely wants the often ignored west of the country to be at par with the relatively more thriving east. Included in the government's plans, which began in the year 2000, is the setting up of small-scale industries and factories and also tapping into the vast mineral deposits in the area, and, in the process, generating employment for the locals. Furthermore, plans to improve connectivity within the area are also underway. This includes establishing rail and road networks linking the region, in particular the Tibetan plateau with the mainland. Massive projects are already underway, with some in the second or third phases. Prime among these projects is the ambitious Qinghai-
Tibet Railway (QTR) link.

| Summary/Abstract |
The 21st century brought a whole new reality to the notion of the Asia-Pacific with the rise of countries like India and China, a reviving Japan, along with security and economic links right from the Indian Ocean to the Western Pacific, creating one large strategic unit. With over 21 economies having a Gross Domestic Product
(GDP) which comprises about 56 percent of the world's economic output, the Asia-Pacific region has become the key engine for the global economy. The region is of great geo-political importance, as it consists of some of the world's major energy and trade routes, and the largest militaries'.

| Summary/Abstract |
Diplomacy is an integral part of the Chinese state machinery. Though always important and firmly embedded in the Chinese mind from time immemorial, of late it has widened its reach. The institutional base of China's diplomatic machinery is firm and strong. It has found legitimacy in the state apparatus. An analysis of the past and the present will enable an appropriate understanding of the Chinese actions of recent times.

| Summary/Abstract |
As Poland is fielding the US missile defence system in its territory, it is also simultaneously working on its own missile defence system due to the trust deficit with the United States. The Ukranian crisis and the integration of Crimea into Russia have prompted Poland to beef up its missile defence programme. However, as Warsaw strives to modernise its missile defence capabilities, this article would aim to study the politics of fielding a missile defence system in Poland from certain important dimensions.

| Summary/Abstract |
A fundamental debate in international relations pertains to the application of rationality and context to different situations. Rationality is a hugely debated concept in philosophy. Across disciplines, the conceptualization of rational thought and practice provides various puzzles and problems. Yet, it is the most in?uential concept in modern day parlance and forms the foundations of approaching any problem. To be rational, according to Plato, is to let reason govern all intrinsic human thinking. He says reason is the supreme quality of human beings which gives them their unique character. The internal re?ective process of a human being is what gives him/ her an evolutionary advantage. Knowledge, according to rationality, is
innate and achieved through continuous reflection and processing. One's surroundings, undoubtedly, constrain or enable reason but the latter is the final instrument through which human beings have the ability to shape the environment to their advantage. Aristotle considered reason analogous to a charioteer who steers the seemingly irrational aspects of human thinking i.e. spirit and appetite. Further, there are myriad debates within the concept of rationality itself.

| Summary/Abstract |
Defence cooperation has been the major plank in the bilateral relations between India and Russia. It can be argued that the relations between the two countries ?ourished due to the common threat perceptions and the international milieu during the Cold War period. It can also be stated that the current scenario in the strategic partnership between the Kremlin and Delhi has remained strong due to the geo- political imperatives, shared security concerns and mutual benefits which mostly emerged through strong defence ties.
