Summary/Abstract In 1991, an interim arrangement called the caretaker system was introduced in Bangladesh to facilitate the transition from dictatorship to democracy.

Khan, Amir Ullah Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

In the post-cold war era, strategic thinkers and policy makers developed a new discourse that took into account non-military security issue like lack of healthcare, poverty, illiteracy, unemployment, poor food, poor sanitation system, poor governance and environmental issues as non-traditional security issue. This innovative paradigm shift has helped expand the horizon of security studies. The contribution of Copenhagen school is noteworthy in this connection.

Sixteenth Lok Sabha: India’s lurch to the right / Al-Adawy, Heba   Article
Al-Adawy, Heba Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract As jubilant supporters of what was once a fringe Hindu nationalist party celebrated result of a nine-week election marathon, there was arguably some element of incongruity in the scenario. Holding face-masks of the controversial Narendra Modi (NaMo) and waving saffron symbols of lotus flowers were not merely members of the Sangh parivaar or hardline Hindu nationalist, but also young, liberal Indians as if rejoicing a crucial cricket victory.

While control of it may not quite unlock the world for china as control of the greater Caribbean unlocked the world of America; the Caribbean, even with the Panama Canal, has never lain astride the great maritime routes and energy to the degree that the South China Sea presently does.
