Fears of Anarchy?

Volume XXXV No. 8-9 - AUGUST-SEPTEMBER 2011By ThebookreviewindiaSeptember 14, 2017Leave a comment

It is commonly argued today that the greatest threats to world order and security come not from strong and well-organized sovereign states, but the world’s most fragile states, alternatively called ‘failing’, ‘quasi’, ‘faltering’ or ‘weak’ states.

Challenges for a Cooperative Agenda

Volume XXXV No. 8-9 - AUGUST-SEPTEMBER 2011By ThebookreviewindiaSeptember 14, 2017Leave a comment

With increasing globalization, economic integration is an important part of development efforts in any region. Despite a lack of cohesive economic unit in South Asia, there has been growing interest in South Asia as a destination for trade and investment.

Dynamics of Decision-making

Volume XXXV No. 8-9 - AUGUST-SEPTEMBER 2011By ThebookreviewindiaSeptember 14, 2017Leave a comment

The book under review is a refreshing volume rich with brilliant theoretical insights, first-rate empirical analysis and bold academic arguments which would not only be useful for students of South Asian international politics but also policy makers of the region.

Contemporary Policy Challenges

Volume XXXV No. 8-9 - AUGUST-SEPTEMBER 2011By ThebookreviewindiaSeptember 14, 2017Leave a comment

International Relations (IR) theory has been a relative latecomer to South Asia. Until a few years ago, much of the IR literature in South Asia—and indeed on South Asia—had been unabashedly untheoretical.

Patterns of Progress

Volume V No. 4 - JANUARY-FEBRUARY 1981By ThebookreviewindiaSeptember 14, 2017Leave a comment

The contention that modernization of the agrarian sector is a precondition for economic growth and development is not a mere claim. It is an irrefutable fact which the economic history of the pre­sent day advanced countries has admit­tedly established.

Where Lies The Burden of Moral Action?

Volume XXXV No. 8-9 - AUGUST-SEPTEMBER 2011By ThebookreviewindiaSeptember 14, 2017Leave a comment

Good books often get their timing wrong. In the current context in India, where morality and ethics are both at a discount, this book is both timely and excellent. It comprises a collection of papers, of somewhat uneven quality, presented at a workshop in 2007 in Vancouver on South Asian ethical practices.

Of Migration and Its Mixed Consequences

Volume XXXV No. 8-9 - AUGUST-SEPTEMBER 2011By ThebookreviewindiaSeptember 14, 2017Leave a comment

International migration is not a new phenomenon for the globetrotting Indians who today constitute more than twenty-five millions living either permanently or temporarily in different countries around the world.

Of Crises of Citizenship and Capitalism

Volume XXXV No. 8-9 - AUGUST-SEPTEMBER 2011By ThebookreviewindiaSeptember 14, 2017Leave a comment

In the classical Marshallian framework, citizenship was visualized in terms of a contradictory relation to capitalism. The three components of citizenship, under the scheme Marshall espoused, referring to civil, political and social, were coterminous with the expansion of the right to free speech, right to participation and economic welfare.

From Different Theoretical Perspectives

Volume XXXV No. 8-9 - AUGUST-SEPTEMBER 2011By ThebookreviewindiaSeptember 14, 2017Leave a comment

More so than most other Indian states, Gujarat appears enigmatic to many observers. Its most famous son is Mohandas Gandhi, but he is also a uniquely despised figure in much of middle class Gujarati society at home and abroad.

Formulating the Central Problem of Identity

Volume XXXV No. 8-9 - AUGUST-SEPTEMBER 2011By ThebookreviewindiaSeptember 14, 2017Leave a comment

Absolute unity will also mean a self-cancellation of love for it needs an other for it to live (p. 248)
