| Summary/Abstract |
From what has been stated above, following concluding remarks are made. Initiatives and policy decisions of Russia to dissolve Warsaw Pact, ‘Constructive Cooperation’, Founding Act on Mutual Relations and Reset-Policy played an important role for promoting cooperation between Russia and NATO. But pursuance of policy of Eastward expansion of NATO on misplaced perceptions of threats from Russia, refusal to accept Putin’s proposal of ‘Equal Footing’ with NATO, problems arising out of Russia’s relations with Georgia and Baltic states, impact of ‘Colored Revolutions’, allegation of annexation of Crimea by Moscow, persisting differences on Crimean issue and accusation for east Ukrainian crisis, economic sanctions to punish and weaken Russia have been responsible for ongoing conflicts between Russia and NATO.

In Africa, there is a dire need of cultural plurality sensitization so as to integrate all the ethnic groups and accommodate them giving a proper share in power structure. Modern and technological education is urgently required so that Africa is not dependent on foreign nations to explore their resources. They should be able to be their equal partners and shun their dominance. The resources, instead of being wasted on conflicts, may be utilized for development of Africa and the Africans could become the wealthiest persons.

| Summary/Abstract |
The terrorist power grows in arithmetical progression where as the state power in the age of science and technology can grow in geometrical progression. One fact has is very clear that both the power of state and terrorist has increased. Ultimately, problem of terrorism cannot be solved by violent means. Good ends can be achieved only through good means. Violence leads to counter-violence and anti-humanity. States have to bring down terrorism by applying multi-level approach including changing the behaviour of terrorist through non-violent means.

| Summary/Abstract |
The India–Pakistan relation caught in the quagmire of hopes and despair, following the disillusionment of jinxed legacy of partition and its results, now need to unwind and move ahead the bumpy road, strategically and pragmatically. The turmoil between the two neighboring nations, for over six decades, has drifted them apart to the point of animosity, generating ego clash more than political and economic ones. The anti-Indian animus is inherently ingrained in the psyche, with military calling all shots in Pakistan. The fissures in the bilateral relation may be mended diplomatically and strategically ensuring palpable peace in the region. Prescriptions may be drawn to resolve the bilateral relations but unless orges in the domestic domain of the nations are mitigated, countries are stable internally, external solutions to any issue would not ensure lasting effect. Military forces may counter external aggression but Socio economic, political stability is always a pre condition for peace to prevail.

| Summary/Abstract |
Iran-Israel relations have lifted from close ties between Iran and Israel during the phase of the Pahlavi dynasty to hostility since the Revolution and ending of Gulf war. The most contentious issue of the Iranian-Israeli conflict is Iran’s nuclear project. The Israeli fear of an Iranian version of a “final solution” might push Israel to launch a preemptive strike against Iran. However, just one blow might not be enough, considering the various measures Iran implemented in order to protect her nuclear setup. Israel should therefore be ready for a long struggle, in which the rear of both sides would be hit. Israel could be part of a vast anti-Iranian coalition, including Arab states that are also on alert, fearing Iran’s ambitions, particularly after losing Iraq as their shield.

Threats to human security cannot be countered independently by one nation, therefore cooperative action and multi sectoral approach is needed. These insecurities are context specific, that is, it varies across different locations even in the same country, across nations and regions.

| Summary/Abstract |
North Korea hosted its seventh Congress of the Worker’s Party of Korea on 6 May 2016, the first in nearly 36 years. It came to a close on 9 May. Once the announcement was made about this, speculations were abound engaging analysts to unravel if the event could be related to a generational reassignment of key personnel and announcement of new pro-market policies or a public reinforcement of nuclear weapons strategy. What made the Korea-watchers ponder was because of Pyongyang’s some recent conducts such as latest and fourth nuclear test in January 2016 followed by satellite launch, “’70-day battle” (a short-term economic campaign to maximize industrial and construction output with limited time and resources), and multiple conventional weapons and ballistic missile tests.

| Summary/Abstract |
The protracted unresolved border dispute between India and China has transformed the subcontinent into a locus of sustained geopolitical rivalry. The total disputed area between the two countries runs to approximately 1,35,000 sq. km. and in the absence of a well-demarcated border, a Line of Actual Control is employed by both sides to claim the area up to which each side has effective military control. Except the limited but intense war in 1962 and the direct military confrontation in 1986-87, major escalated conflicts along the border have been prevented by adept diplomatic measures and understanding between the two sides. The trajectory of conflict resolution and peace management along the Sino-India border forms a significant foreign policy discourse and the manner in which a mutually acceptable permanent solution to the dispute is reached would be of great interest and concern not only for the region, but also the international community at large.

| Summary/Abstract |
The South China Sea seems to be heading towards a new flash point of conflict between China and the US and her regional allies. The fundamental reasons for the recent tensions are rising and assertive China with her persistent power projection, countermoves of the US under 'Asia Rebalancing' with the help of her regional allies' and lack of consensus on a new regional security architecture among regional players, China and the US. The US continues to be the resident power in this region since the World War II. The rise of China has unsettled the prevailing security regime in the Asia-Pacific region.

| Summary/Abstract |
The unprecedented devastation, both in terms of men and material, has brought the Syrian crisis into prominence into international politics of world order. The crisis has sucked in the Syrian citizens as rebels and as victims; the nation-states of West Asian region; the dreaded terrorist organizations of the world; ethnic community like Kurds; withal the major powers of the world. Needless to mention that each of the parties involved have their own vested interests, enough to transform Syria into a battle-field at the cost of life of men, modesty of women, and future of children. Involvement of too many actors has made the crisis so complex that peace seems to be a far cry.

| Summary/Abstract |
The turmoil of terrorism has been the cardinal concern of world for so long. This got intensified after 9/11 as situation in Afghanistan and neighboring Central Asia had serious security related implications for the region and countries beyond. Now when major exit of US led NATO has happened and Afghan security forces are proving inadequate to the task, such concerns are being revisited. A new dimension has been added in view of IS entering Afghanistan, thus further vitiating the situation of security. However, contrary to this kind of popular view it has been argued here that the move to give responsibility of security to the local forces is a move in the right direction as ultimately this has to be task of the state of Afghanistan. Training and equipping of the Afghan security is the only course as larger political issues beyond immediate security concerns are to be settled by domestic forces.

| Summary/Abstract |
The expansive South China Sea covering an area of more than 3.5 million square kilometres consists of atolls, reefs, and small islands, only one of which has fresh water to support human habitation, has drawn considerable strategic and media attention in recent times. The Spratlys and the Paracels in particular are two of such islands, which China calls Nansha and Xisha islands, have shot into lime light in recent years and has all the potential to trigger a conflict, which can destabilise the region primarily for the geo-strategic reasons. China occupied the Paracels in 1974 from South Vietnam.

| Summary/Abstract |
In a word, Syria has become an arena for regional as well as outside actors; more significantly, these actors have the responsibility to find out peaceful resolution of the Syrian conflict, but these actors are playing bloody politics for geo-political interests and they have made Syrian conflict very complicated and there are less possibilities to resolve this problem, because mediators have also become the part of the problem and not part of the solution, indeed, they are also fighting a proxy war in Syria, and therefore, all the actors have high stakes in the regional politics of West Asia.

In the case of Syria there were times when President Obama was ready to act but the domestic and external environment were a mismatch. A relation between the two branches has been designed to create a deadlock however when external actors contribute to this, any kind of policy formation becomes difficult. There is no secret that President Obama has had a tough time dealing with congress and this is not only in Syria but in all avenues of policy making and not secluded to partisanship.

| Summary/Abstract |
Afghanistan has always played a very crucial role in the Asian and world politics and acted as playground for the ‘Great Game’. Due to its unique geographical location and presence of abundant natural resources, controlling of Afghanistan has been a long cherished dream for the colonial powers in the past. In the nineteenth century, Afghanistan served as a ‘strategic buffer’ state between Czarist Russian and the British Empire in the subcontinent. Afghanistan's relations with Moscow became more cordial after the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917.

Global climatic change will affect water availability. It is predicted that by the year 2025 a full 35 per cent of the world population will be living under conditions of water scarcity or stress. Formerly internal rivers have now become international water. Since the Second World War, the total number of the world’s independent nations has doubled. Decolonization is the reason in the increase of number of International River. Non-navigational uses of waters get importance thannavigational uses.
