| Summary/Abstract |
The face-off between Chinese and Indian armed forces at Doklam, an area disputed between Bhutan and China‚ was caused by Beijing’s growing assertiveness with its neighbours. The Chinese leadership however did not expect New Delhi’s adamancy which attracted the support of some other countries including Japan. According to Beena‚ Beijing nonetheless still pursues a long term strategy to vasselise smaller countries in its neighbourhood.

Shantesh Kumar Singh notes the growing importance of health as a critical factor in human and national security due to its links with the economy, the stability of state institutions and public morale. Worsening socioeconomic inequalities are responsible for the vulnerability of both disadvantaged and affluent populations. Reforms of the current economic system are needed to comprehensively address the challenges posed by communicable viral and microbial infections.

Yossef Ben-Meir critically analyses the national developmental model adopted by the Kingdom of Morocco through six policy frameworks that address the major economic and environmental issues and problems affecting Moroccan society, particularly its poorer sections. A lack of education and the persistence of top-down methods of governance are largely to blame for the inability to decentralize decision-making and harness widespread grassroots initiatives.

| Summary/Abstract |
Zimbabwe’s foreign policy under Emmerson Mnangagwa has been designed to aid economic recovery, facilitate economic growth, create employment and encourage a climate conducive for attracting investors to the country. Jefferson Ndimande and Knowledge G Moyo assert that the policy is a combination of pragmatism, realism and neoliberalism, informed by the dichotomy of change and continuity from the old order whilst trying to chart a new course.
