With no peace in sight in the general area held by ISIS, Iraq and Syria, I consider these areas as the most deadly conflict zones of the world. Afghanistan is also considered as a dangerous conflict zone but may not be as deadly as the previously mentioned areas. I consider Afghanistan more important as it affects India directly.

There is hardly anything as dynamic as the world politics. This is very clear from the situation which prevails in Afghanistan. Great Surgeons come from different corners of the world, with latest surgical instruments and a long list of medicines, to do the surgery in Afghanistan and make it healthy and wealthy, fail, and return to their home land with a long face.

| Summary/Abstract |
Afghanistan is at crossroads going through a complex transition period. What transpires in Afghanistan will not only impinge on the stability and security of the country, but will have implications for the regional security scenario. After much political speculations concerning the future of Afghanistan post Karzai, a new political dispensation has now emerged in Afghanistan, as the withdrawal policy of the United States stands at a critical juncture.

| Summary/Abstract |
To sum up, what accounts for the rising incidence of internal armed conflicts in plural societies is the interplay of variety of factors ranging from the nature of the polity (i.e. liberal/transitional democratic or autocratic), stage of economic development, level of integration and state-society engagement to the process of state formation and national identity construction.

| Summary/Abstract |
The US occupation of Iraq in 2003 resonated the death knell of a republican, modern, secular, nationalist Iraqi state and the calibrated intention to undermine all existing solidarities by institutionalizing perennial sectarian conflicts. The Americans resolved, remaking the whole of West Asia to suit their economic and political interests, which implied the commencement of an imbroglio that would thereafter sweep the Arab world at least for a couple of decades.

| Summary/Abstract |
The unilateral declaration of Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) by the Chinese government and its enforcement from 23 November, 2013, 10 AM (Chinese time) has triggered a different kind of geopolitical scenario and geo-strategic consideration in Asia. The changing nature of geopolitics can be seen in terms of the reactions that the states have shown. This is perceived differently by other states, especially the rival forces as the symbolism of Chinese expansionism.

Human beings themselves are responsible for war as the seeds of conflict are sown in their minds. When conflicts assume large proportions, the whole world gets affected by them. The situation in Iraq is beyond imagination with people’s predicament of having to face lack of food, shelter, medicines and security posing serious problems. The children in particular, who are soft targets exist in nightmarish conditions.

| Summary/Abstract |
Therefore, national policy in Central Asian States should shift from ethnocentrism to civic nationalism based on a common set of values and shared homeland. Instead of putting emphasis on historical roots, which are not only a source of pride for achievements in the past, but also a source of traumas and inter-ethnic conflicts, a focus on the contemporary achievements of the nations would be more beneficial.

Due to the changing nature of Conflict, establishment of internal security in post conflict societies is a major challenge for the international players. The Bosnian conflict has played a very important role in the international security scenario. It provided the chance to the international actors to show their peacekeeping and conflict management capacity in a war situation.

| Summary/Abstract |
Iran nuclear deal agreed in first week of April this year is a major breakthrough. After the long wait for almost 12 years, finally Iran agreed for accepting severely extensive inspection regime. No doubt, in bargain it got the promise from P5+1 i. e. U.S.A., U.K., Russia, France, China and Germany to lift all the sanctions imposed on it. On one hand deal is an initiative to end Iran’s isolation in world polity. On other, it marks an important step that world community has taken towards arms control in recent time. Of course all the details are yet to be finalized by the end of June. Nevertheless, it calls for an urgent need to enquire into the various aspects of this deal from the perspective of contemporary geo-politics.

So far as Israel and Hamas is concerned, no peaceful or co-operative chemistry or relationship exist between them. The two share a hostile and antagonistic posture to each other that involves armed confrontation, political struggle and accusations of terror strikes. Furthermore, while one is a state actor, because in 1948, Israel had become a sovereign state, many countries had given recognition immediately.

No other region in the world has seen as much violence, physical destruction and civilian casualties, internal displacement of population, militarization of society and enduring psycho-social trauma in the past decade as West Asia. With the increase in the number as well as intensity of armed conflicts in the region since the US-led invasion of Iraq in March 2003, West Asia remains the locus classicus of recurrent warfare.

We’ is often constructed and characterised on the basis of ‘What We are Not’—the ‘Other’. Consolidation of the ‘self’ is done through the construction of the Xenophobia within the society. Nationalism; be it ethnic or political, be it in India or in West Asia; arises to protect or emancipate ‘we’ from the ‘Other’ or ‘Outsider’. Needless to say, the definition and preconditions of being ‘we’ and ‘outsider’ is determined by the elites of the concerned community and becomes the narrative for the entire community.

The state of peace and security poses several continuing challenges in the African continent, which has its roots in the history. Besides the steady progress of African Union’s (AU) achievements, the continent is still faced with certain incessant conflicts. While the efforts of AU and the regional organisations are appreciative, yet due to paucity of funds of many African countries including the AU itself, many a time faced with obligation of providing maximum thrust in performing their task.

Throughout ancient times, the breathtakingly beautiful Valley of Kashmir has stood for peaceful contemplation, intellectual advancement and religious diversity co existing in an atmosphere of tolerance for the most part. In the modern geopolitical era, this same diversity, evident from the blend of Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism and Buddhism in this single state, has made it a center of warfare rather than cultural advancement.

To be noted that the United States of America is the only responsible for what is happening in West Asia today. The blunder mistake of the United States of America was to topple Saddam Hussein of Iraq from power. He was a strong leader of Iraq since 1979 and there was no question of the rising power of Shi’a Crescent in the region. There was a balance of power between Iraq and Iran. But the decline of the Saddam Hussein was a great opportunity for Iran to reach out to the predominantly Shi’a communities in the regional states of West Asia.

In the recent past, China’s ascendance in the world promenade has been spectacular and phenomenal. The ‘rise’ of China has been a prominent focus of global discourse and contemplation. It is in this backdrop that, India’s concerns vis-a-vis its mammoth neighbour has gained currency. Although clichéd it may appear, it is indubitable that New Delhi’s policy obsession with Beijing assumed heightened proportions, particularly in the United Progressive Alliance/UPA-II phase of governance (May 2009-May 2014).

It is thus evident that China stands isolated on the issue of the South China Sea even as the international community and the immediate neighbouring countries have rallied support or at least have arrived at a convergence of opinion. Several solutions to the issue have been mooted; such as a declaration of a new code of conduct, or a peace initiative based on joint development and sharing of resources.
