Summary/Abstract |
Britain’s relationship with the European Union has always been problematic - prior to its entry into the EU in 1973 as well as during its 43 year membership. However the process of its disengagement from the EU, post June 2016, is technically so complex that the negotiation, just begun, have assumed a polemical overtone. A botched snap election gamble it by the British Prime Minister has added to the confusion.

Summary/Abstract |
Dissolution of the USSR and the end of the Cold War had transformative impact on geopolitical environment of Europe. In a changed environment, initially Russia moved towards Western countries and organizations for a closer partnership. Early enthusiasm, however, did not last long and a disillusioned Russia changed the course of its foreign policy from western-orientation to multipolar orientation. At the turn of the 21st century, President Putin adopted a pragmatic approach to cooperate with the West in a framework of fight against terrorism.

Summary/Abstract |
Multiculturalism can be understood and explained as a fact, as a value and as a policy. In the contemporary milieu of ever increasing international migration and mixing of cultures, cultural diversity is inevitable. In this context to understand multiculturalism in all its dimensions becomes all the more relevant. Both India and Europe are multicultural. If on one hand the magnitude of ethnographic-cultural diversity of India and Europe presents interesting patterns of ‘unity in diversity’ then on the other hand it poses challenges of social integration of people from different cultural and ethnic background.

Summary/Abstract |
In the last few years, Europe is facing many challenges. These include difficulties in managing a single currency mechanism, influx of refugees, crisis in Ukraine, terrorist attacks, rise of populism and British exit from the European Union (EU). Despite these difficulties, the EU is still a major economy with huge capacities to influence issues concerning global governance. As a major trade and investment partner of India, developments in Europe have significant implications for the Indian economy and India-EU ties. After a few years of sluggishness, India-EU strategic partnership is again gaining momentum with an agreed Agenda for Action 2020. As negotiations on bilateral trade and investment agreement may take time, both India and the EU are focusing on other areas where increased consultations can lead to concrete outcomes. The areas include climate change, energy, environment, counter-terrorism, maritime security, science and technology, development cooperation, migration and mobility, civil society linkages and dialogues on Asia and Africa.

Summary/Abstract |
The “essence” of the EU is essentially all about subjecting inter-state relations to the rule of law and it is but natural for the Union to preach and practice multilateralism, both in domestic and external fronts. The EU’s preference for multilateralism remains at two levels. At the first level, the Union expects that the third countries must have direct relations with it at the multilateral level than with its member states bilaterally and at the second stage, the EU professes multilateralism at the international level with the UN at its centre.

Summary/Abstract |
The issue of climate change has invoked the European Union’s interests since the time the issue became a political one in early 1990s. The EU has been an active entity in formulating rules and policies to address climate change domestically and internationally too. It was a leader in the climate change issue for a decade responsible for successful ratification of the Kyoto Protocol and implementing various policies and practices. Its role however has considerably weakened post Copenhagen Summit in 2009.

EU’s development policy framework had its origin in the “association” of the overseas countries and territories (former colonies of founding members) with the fledgling EEC for economic and social development at the insistence of French in the negotiations in 1956 leading to Rome Treaty.

Summary/Abstract |
We face a world in which geopolitical and geo-economic risks are multiplying. Most of West Asia is ablaze, stoking speculation that a long Sunni-Shia war (like Europe’s Thirty Years’ War between Catholics and Protestants) could be at hand. China’s rise is fuelling a wide range of territorial disputes in Asia and challenging America’s strategic leadership in the region. And Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has apparently become a semi-frozen conflict, but one that could reignite at any time.

Summary/Abstract |
Even a casual observer of European political and social scene today would be quick to identify the rise of right-wing political parties across Europe. Given the horrific brush with right-wing politics and nationalism that Europe had in its Fascist and Nazi incarnation during the interwar period this contemporary right-wing ascendance has elicited both attention and apprehension.

Summary/Abstract |
Foreign and security policy cooperation is an ambitious goal of the European Union (EU). The EU has been successful to portray itself as a single actor in areas of international trade negotiation. However, on critical areas of ‘high politics’ of ‘national importance’, the EU Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) characterizes an interplay of politics at the domestic, regional and international level.
