| Summary/Abstract |
India has reason to fear Chinese encirclement, while the growing assertiveness and self-confi dence of the PLA is a cause for concern. Head-on confrontation between the two could largely destroy these ancient civilisations, while the prospect for peace could bring prosperity to not only South Asia, but the greater Asian region as a whole. Pushpa R Adhikari asserts that building confi dence and cooperation between all states in the region is vital for its progress and stability.

He assesses India's foreign policy as well as its contribution to international peace and security through UN peacekeeping operations and its role in addressing the structural inequalities in the world economic order through the human security perspective

| Summary/Abstract |
While attention has been justifi ably focussed on the alleged violation of the rights of Sri Lankan Tamils, a true perspective may be gained by including the entire nation in a study of the prevailing situation. Apratim Mukarji believes the unsatisfactory treatment of the Tamil issue is a corollary of President Mahinda Rajapaksa's objective of curbing all other powers and suppressing human rights throughout the country in order to strengthen and perpetuate his rule.

| Summary/Abstract |
According to C Sheela Reddy, women have been the worst sufferers in the post-Taliban period in Afghanistan. Without protecting their position and status from Taliban infl uenced elements and the traditional Islamic patriarchal society, it is naïve to think that the political future of the country will be peaceful and prosperous.
