| Summary/Abstract |
Managing India’s strategic predicament is a herculean task. China’s revisionist rise in the global order and its aggressive interventions along the Sino-Indian border is a pressing challenge. Augmentation of the role of non-state actors (NSAs) and non-traditional security issues in world affairs are other critical challenges for academia and policymakers. Persisting territorial disputes, residual from colonialism, have resurfaced in a new avatar of ‘Asian Century’ and great power politics in the region. These pose multiple challenges to practices of border management, migration, refugees, ethno-communal-religious tensions and interstate cooperation. India and the international community have to manage the aggregated impact of both ‘high politics’ and ‘low politics’ in contemporary world affairs with a complex canvas.
