India's Near East
A revealing new history of India's faltering attempts to exert control over its eastern hinterland and the neighboring states of Bangladesh and Myanmar.
My Enemy's Enemy
The archetype of 'my enemy's enemy is my friend', India's political and economic presence in Afghanistan is often viewed as a Machiavellian ploy aimed against Pakistan. The first of its kind, this book interrogates that simplistic yet powerful geopolitical narrative and asks what truly drives India's Afghanistan policy.
Decolonizing Global Intelligence
From September 11 to the calamitous withdrawal of United States troops from Afghanistan, Western intelligence has failed to negotiate the largest military and humanitarian crises across the world. This book proposes to decolonize global intelligence from the peripheries of the Global South and put forward a new intelligence practice of ‘inclusive statecraft’. It shows how dominant Western intelligence systems have failed to protect the very ideas they promised to uphold and the discrepancy between the West’s ‘Responsibility to Protect (R2P)’ liberalist doctrine and the realist on-the-ground complex reality as observed by the ‘Failure to Protect (F2P)’ scholarships. Drawing theo...
India's Foreign Policy
This volume brings together cutting-edge research in the field of Indian foreign policy both at the theoretical and empirical level.
Institutional Roots of India's Security Policy
In recent years, India has asserted its desire not simply to be a balancing power but to become a leading power on the world stage. As India's economic development has steadily progressed, so too have its foreign policy and security ambitions. However, India's ability to sustain high rates of economic growth at home and project power overseas rests on unsteady state capacities. Despite widespread concerns over the severe institutional constraints that India faces, there is a lack of scholarly research on the administrative and organizational effectiveness of India's security institutions. Myriad inadequacies related to both procedure and personnel continue to hamper the Indian state's abilit...
Pakistan’s Ethnic Tensions
This book studies the ethnic tensions in Pakistan and their repercussions on its territorial integrity and stability of the multi-ethnic and pivotal state –located at the trijunction of South Asia, South-West Asia and Central Asia. It analyses the causes of the emergence of the ethnic tensions in Pakistan since its inception and their likely course in the future. It demonstrates how the lack of proper representation from different ethnic groups in the decision- making processes of the country has had catastrophic consequences in the nation’s past and present. The book will be highly valuable to scholars, researchers and students of International Relations, Pakistan Studies, Defence Studies, South Asian Politics, and Ethnic Studies, who are interested in the complexities of Pakistan’ ethnic problems.

Each contribution provides a careful discussion of the four major theoretical approaches to the study of international politics: Realism, Constructivism, Liberalism, and Critical Theory. In turn, the chapters discuss the relevance of each approach to the issue area a...
Securitising Decolonisation
With the right to petition the United Nations, the Ewe and Togoland unification movement enjoyed a privilege unmatched by other dependent peoples. Using language conveying insecurity, the movement seized the international spotlight, ensuring that the topic of unification dominated the UN Trusteeship System for over a decade. Yet, its vociferous securitisations fell silent due to colonial distortion, leaving unification unfulfilled, thus allowing the seeds of secessionist conflict to grow. At the intersection of postcolonial theory and security studies, Julius Heise presents a theory-driven history of Togoland's path to independence, offering a crucial lesson for international statebuilding efforts.

L'Afghanistan dans son environnement régional
Avec le retrait des Forces de l'OTAN en 2014, l'Afghanistan est-il livré à lui-même ? En guerre depuis 1979, ce pays intéresse trop de monde. Ses voisins proches (Pakistan, Iran, Chine), mais aussi les puissances qui l'ont occupé (Russie, Etats-Unis) sans compter celles qui ont un intérêt stratégique direct à son égard (Inde). Un groupe de spécialistes des questions régionales de la Fondation pour la recherche stratégique s'est penché sur les stratégies de ces différents acteurs.
