| Summary/Abstract |
The concept of ‘Vivir Bien´ or ´Good Life’ has emerged in Bolivia’s political, policy and diplomatic discourse after the ascension to power of Evo Morales in December 2005, the first person of indigenous ethnicity to be President of Bolivia. In South Asia and other parts of the world much is known about Bhutan’s Index of Happiness, but little is heard about ‘Vivir Bien’ or ‘Good Life’, the ideology of Life, Politics and Diplomacy emanating from Bolivia, in the heart of Latin America. ‘Good Life’, now the core of Bolivian polity, arises from the Andean Cosmovision which places Nature at the centre of Life and the need to maintain balance and harmony in one’s interaction with Mother Nature. Bolivia is attempting to put back on centre stage the original peoples of the land—the Aymara, the Qechua and the Guarani—and their ancient yet timeless wisdom of Life in Harmony with Nature.

| Summary/Abstract |
Many sub-regional initiatives are prospering in Asia. As the limits to regional cooperation become evident, particularly in the SAARC context, sub-regional cooperation offers a window of opportunity for India to push through economic integration of India with its South and South East Asian neighbours. Already some examples exist which need to be emulated and expanded upon such as ADB‘s SASEC programme for some South Asian countries or BIMSTEC involving South and South East Asia. This paper spells out the need and rationale for energising sub-regional cooperation among three major countries straddling the South and South East Asia axis namely India, Bangladesh and Myanmar. It argues that there is sufficient content and context in the three bilateral relationships, which of late have been witnessing upswings, to start working on various trilateral cooperation proposals. This will not only be a win-win formula for all three countries involved but will also propel greater cooperation in some other larger configurations of sub-regional cooperation namely BIMSTEC or BCIM-EC as these three countries form the geographical kernel of other frameworks as well.

| Summary/Abstract |
A visa is issued to facilitate an individual’s travel to another country in a regulated way. There are agreements between some countries on a no-visa regime; however, most countries do follow some sort of visa system. Typically, a visa allows a person to travel to the destination country as far as the port of entry (airport, seaport or land border crossing) and advises the immigration officer to allow the visitor to enter the country. It also stipulates the purpose of the visit, maximum duration of stay on each visit and number of entries allowed to the traveller within the validity period of the visa. Although most countries use printed visa stickers, e-visas have recently also come into vogue.
