| Summary/Abstract |
The League of Nations (LN) was conceptualized by the Treaty of Versailles,1
which formally ended the First World War on 28 June 1919. The Treaty also
created the International Labour Organization (ILO), a unique multi-stakeholder
multilateral structure in which policies are decided by governments, employers
and workers, without any government exercising veto power

| Summary/Abstract |
As a conflict zone for power and supremacy, history cannot exclude the
oceans. During the early phases of modern history, oceans were the zones of
intense contestation where most of the conflicts among major and aspiring
powers played out. The contestations played the most significant role in shaping
both history and civilisation. It would not be farfetched to say that the modern
history of the world is also, in a way, the history of oceans. The tussles for
power, resources, land, and people were mostly fought over the seas and
oceans, as these were the only modes of communication and transportation
linking distant countries and continents. Though the Indian Ocean, covering
the expanse from East Africa to the Indian subcontinent and Australia, has
always been the theatre of human interactions, it caught global attention only
in 1498 when the Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama arrived at Calicut (now
Kozhikode) after a successful sea voyage.

The United Nations will celebrate its 75th anniversary in 2020. This is a good
time to look back at its performance, and examine how far it has met the
aspirations of its founders and how relevant it is in today’s world. India is a
founder member of the organisation. What has been India’s approach to the
UN? How does India view the organisation, and what expectations does it
have of it?

Any discourse on International Relations (IR) today never fails to talk about
the Soft Power of countries. Ever since Joseph Nye coined the term, it has
become rather obligatory to use it. It is not as if the aspects of the so-called
Soft Power were never recognised before. Earlier, it was known by other
terms, one of which was cultural and civilisational diplomacy. Countries
projected their cultural and non-transactional sides to get the friendships of
others.

Since 2005, when the United States of America (USA) and India signed the new
framework for the India-US Defence relationship, the bilateral defence ties have
grown to become strong, and potential driven. With initiatives such as the Defence
Technology and Trade Initiative (DTTI), the India-US Declaration on Defence
Cooperation, the signing of agreements such as the Logistics Exchange Memorandum
of Agreement (LEMOA) and the Communications Compatibility and Security
Agreement (COMCASA), the two countries have made bipartisan efforts to move
beyond the “hesitations of history”.1

| Summary/Abstract |
This article seeks to understand why India may have decided to withdraw
from the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) as
was announced at the third RCEP summit meeting held in Bangkok on
4 November 2019. It also examines briefly the possible implications of
this decision, particularly in the present context of looming challenges
on the international trade front. It explores possible options for India
and what its priorities could be. Finally, in the event that there may be
a re-consideration by India about joining RCEP, what could be some of
the guiding elements?

| Summary/Abstract |
Science is the basic knowledge of nature and Technology is the practical
application of that knowledge. This is sometimes not so clear. For example,
we knew that penicillin works against bacteria, but not why. At each level of
understanding, new science opens up, and there is new technology to be
applied. Another concept is Governance. The goal of governance in any country
is firstly national security and, secondly, a better quality of life for its people.
Science and Technology have a very strong impact not only on society but
also on the international system. There are many examples of this, such as
mobile phones and smart phones. In the international system, countries which
discover and use new science and technology gain an advantage - both
economic and military. Because of this, all governments must deal with science
and technology in an appropriate manner, and respond to new developments
in both.
