| Summary/Abstract |
The Modi-led government is placing a strong accent on the use of soft power in India’s foreign policy. One of the more novel manifestations of these initiatives has been engagement in Buddhist diplomacy. The Buddhist faith, due to its emphasis on peaceful co-existence and its wide pan-Asian presence, lends itself well to soft-power diplomacy. This brief will examine India’s attempts at leveraging its historical and present-day associations with the faith, alongside similar attempts by the Chinese state.

| Summary/Abstract |
The civil war in Ethiopia between the Tigray region and the federal government led by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has lasted for a little over one year, and possibilities of ending it through dialogue between the contending parties still appear bleak. The Ethiopian Defence Forces, Eritrean Defence Forces, Amhara Special Force and allied militia on one side and the Tigray Defence Forces (TDF) of the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) and Oromo Liberation Army (OLA) on the other side have been engaged in a pitched battle.

| Summary/Abstract |
In the Indo-Pacific, tensions between China and the U.S., Australia, India and others are building momentum with China’s escalating actions in the wake of the COVID-19 catastrophe which has shaken Indo-Pacific geopolitics considerably. As a geopolitical partnership, the relevance of the Quad is now proven. The Indo-Pacific seems to have come of age. The rise of India and China, as well as the ensuing great-power competition and deepening economic links across the Asia-Pacific and the Indian Ocean regions are often seen as a reality. The geopolitical strategic endeavour about the perceived ‘rise of China’ is viewed by influential observers and practitioners, particularly in the USA, Australia, Japan and India as a churning in Indo-Pacific region. China’s growing influence in Asia, the ‘Indo-Pacific’ is not an innocent or neutral description, but is a manufactured super-region designed to hedge against a perceived Sino-centric regional order.

| Summary/Abstract |
Climate change is an issue that many have called the greatest development challenge of our generation. And through our Strategy 2020, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) has committed to reduce impacts of climate change as part of our efforts
to achieve environmentally sustainable economic growth. What happens in South Asia will clearly have a profound impact since the countries of this region are growing rapidly and are extremely vulnerable to climate impacts.

| Summary/Abstract |
This year, India’s defense diplomacy has ramped up. In 2015 alone there have been 18 military exercises- naval, army and air force- with 13 countries, among the largest engagements the country has had. Most significant is Japan joining the Malabar exercises in the Bay of Bengal and the first-ever maritime exercise with Australia. This is increasing India’s presence from the Arabian Sea to the Bay of Bengal. As these exercises intensify India will be better positioned to handle regional security challenges.

| Summary/Abstract |
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is driven by several factors: ethnic, national, historical, and religious. This brief essay focuses on the religious dimension of the conflict, which both historical and recent events suggest lies at its core. That much is almost a truism. What is less often appreciated, however, is how much religion impacts the identity of actors implicated in this conflict, the practical issues at stake, and the relevant policies and attitudes — even of non-religious participants on both sides. It follows that religion must also be part of any real solution to this tragic and protracted conflict, in ways a concluding paragraph will very briefly outline.

| Summary/Abstract |
In Ethiopia, different political reforms have taken place. Following this, the country circled viciously into wars at many times. The Derg regime deposed Emperor Haile Selassie in 1974. And the Derg was defeated by the Ethiopian People Revolutionary Democratic Front coalition party in 1991. Albeit the coalition party ruled Ethiopia for more than 27 years, it obliged to make political reform
because of high protest from Oromo youths. However, there are debates among scholars regarding the success of current political reforms in Ethiopia.

In 1917 Patel found the course of his life changed after having been influenced by Mohandas K. Gandhi. Patel adhered to Gandhi’s satyagraha (policy of nonviolence) insofar as it furthered the Indian struggle against the British. But he did not identify himself with Gandhi’s moral convictions and ideals, and he regarded Gandhi’s emphasis on their universal application as irrelevant to India’s immediate political, economic, and social problems. Nevertheless, having resolved to follow and support Gandhi, Patel changed his style and appearance. He quit the Gujarat Club, dressed in the white cloth of the Indian peasant, and ate in the Indian manner.

India, the world’s biggest importer of weapons, has long been desperate to expand its indigenous
defence industry. It has not been easy. A “Make in India” defence policy was launched eight years
ago, followed in 2020 by “Atmanirbhar Bharat” (Self-reliant India), when the government raised
the maximum stake that could be held by foreigners in joint ventures in defence from 49% to 74%.However, by the start of last year, foreign direct investment in the defence industry had reached only $380m, against a target of $10bn by 2025.

The Biden administration has reportedly considered Uzbekistan and Tajikistan that border Afghanistan, as well as Kazakhstan, as possible staging areas for monitoring and quickly responding to possible security problems that may follow the U.S. militar y’s withdrawal from Afghanistan. Russia’s allies in Central Asia appear to be slowly distancing themselves from the Kremlin, an emerging shift born of the war in Ukraine.

| Summary/Abstract |
A month after the Biden Administration pulled U.S forces out of Afghanistan, only seventeen per cent of the country’s more than twenty-three hundred health clinics were functional. Doctors in the hospital in Kabul told that they hadn’t been paid since the Taliban seized power, in August, and that medicine is in short supply. The new government is struggling to feed the country’s thirty-nine million people, and the chance that an Afghan baby will go hungry and die is the highest in twenty years. Half of the country’s population needs humanitarian assistance to survive, double the number from 2020. More than twenty million people are on the brink of famine.
