Rulers have adopted sectarian approaches as a measure to secure their regimes. ISBN 978-93-86618-05-4, Price: ₹ 795 E-copy available	About the Book Since the outbreak of the Arab unrest, sectarian politics has become more pronounced throughout the West Asian region which is reflected in the growing polarisation of society and politics on narrow sectarian lines. Rulers have adopted sectarian approaches as a measure to secure their regimes. Opposition forces have also united themselves on the basis of their sectarian affiliations. This book focuses on three countries – Bahrain, Yemen and Syria, where protests have taken place during the Arab uprisings and who have witnessed widespread violence and political instability. The role of two major regional powers such as Iran and Saudi Arabia has been extremely critical in all these three countries. Both Iran and Saudi Arabia have used sectarianism as a foreign policy tool to pursue their interests in the region. They have been found to be involved in a ‘proxy war’ in these countries by the way of supporting either the regime or the opposition forces. Similarly the involvement of the two extra-regional powers, the US and Russia, especially in Syria has proven to be crucial for the security and geopolitics of the region. Sectarian faultlines has been widening since the outbreak of the unrest and has affected the political and security situation in West Asia.

The Geopolitics of Gas: Common Problems, Disparate Strategies	https://www.idsa.in/system/files/book_the-geopolitics-of-gas_srdadwal.jpg	Gas, E-Book, Energy Cooperation, Energy Security, Russia, West Asia, Australia, Arctic, China, India, United States of America (USA)	Shebonti Ray Dadwal	Non-Traditional Security	2017	BOOK	Publisher: Pentagon Press 2017 This volume looks at the evolving gas market and the various players who influence it -- both as producers and consumers. However, some of the players, such as Australia and the new African producers, as well as Japan and South Korea, the two largest LNG consumers, have not been included as their approach tends to be more commercial than geopolitical in nature. ISBN 978-81-8274-900-9, Price: ₹. 995 E-copy available	About the Book With huge supplies, including from unconventional plays, and its low carbon properties as compared to oil and coal and decreasing transport hurdles, natural gas has what it takes to fulfil the escalating demand for energy. Yet, the promise that it held a few years ago as the fastest growing major source of energy appears to be fading, ironically due to abundant supplies. On the one hand, while the risk of recovering producers’ costs for the high capital investments required for production and liquefaction is increasing, on the other, consumers are demanding lower prices in a market that has turned in favour of the buyer. As a result, geopolitics, which was always in play in the energy market, is growing, as gas producing and exporting countries compete for a larger share of the market, or at the very least, retain their existing ones. More importantly, the entry of new supply sources is also pushing the market from the traditional oil-indexed pricing mechanism that was prevalent in the European and Asian markets, towards a more flexible mechanism, including a hub-based one. As liquidity in the gas market is increasing, there are also signs that a global market, as against the current regional one, may be emerging. This volume looks at the evolving gas market and the various players who influence it -- both as producers and consumers. However, some of the players, such as Australia and the new African producers, as well as Japan and South Korea, the two largest LNG consumers, have not been included as their approach tends to be more commercial than geopolitical in nature.

The Arthasastra in a Transcultural Perspective: Comparing Kautilya with Sun-Zi, Nizam al-Mulk, Barani and Machiavelli	https://www.idsa.in/system/files/book_arthasastra-in-a-trascultural-perspective.jpg	Kautilya-Arthashastra, E-Book, Indigenous Historical Knowledge	Michael Liebig, Saurabh Mishra	Military Affairs	2017	BOOK	Publisher: Pentagon Press 2017 This book is the product of a collaborative effort by the Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses, New Delhi; South Asia Institute, Heidelberg University; and Institute of South Asian Studies, National University Singapore.

ISBN 978-81-8274-938-2 Price: ₹. 995 E-copy available	About the Book This book is the product of a collaborative effort by the Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses, New Delhi; South Asia Institute, Heidelberg University; and Institute of South Asian Studies, National University Singapore. The volume contains papers exploring Kautilya’s Arthasastra in a transcultural perspective, comparing it with the thoughts of Sun-Zi, Nizam al-Mulk, Barani and Machiavelli. It is agreed that the field of modern International Relations (IR) and Political Theory is predominantly Eurocentric, and based on European sources of philosophy and history. But, nowadays, scholars have been exploring the possibility of a world intellectual history, as ideas are dynamic throughout temporal and geographical spaces. They transform, hybridise and travel long distances over a period of time in such a manner that they appear belonging to the place where we find them at a particular point of time. It is also intriguing to observe that India, with a long civilisational and philosophical history, is credited with no contribution to the evolution of the modern IR and Political Theory. Therefore, this volume explores the philosophical systems, thought-figures and ancient cultural spaces, on the path from India to Europe, looking for any possibility of Kautilya’s Arthasastra, the most comprehensive and systematic text available on art of governance from ancient India, having interacted and influenced the evolution of IR and Political Theory that are considered as originally European intellectual contributions. We note that the chapters in this book give ample and convincing reasons for initially believing in the Arthasastra’s value for the evolution of IR and Political Theory, and making further research on Indian contribution to the intellectual history of IR and Political Theory a desideratum.

In order to ensure the exploration and use of outer space for peaceful purposes, the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS) was set up by the United Nations General Assembly in 1959. Subsequently, this committee led to the foundation of the “Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and use of Outer Space, including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies”. This treaty is commonly known as the Outer Space Treaty (OST). This treaty was opened for signature on January 27, 1967 as a binding legal instrument. On January 27, 2017, this treaty competes 50 years. Over the years this treaty has largely ensured responsible conduct of space activities. This book attempts to examine and contextualize the treaty and its relevance in the 21stcentury while tracing its journey over the last fifty years.

India-China Relations: Politics of Resources, Identity and Authority in a Multipolar World Order	https://www.idsa.in/system/files/book-ind-china-relations.jpg	India-China Relations	Jagannath P. Panda	East Asia	2017	BOOK	Publisher: Routledge 2017 The rise of India and China as two major economic and political actors in both regional and global politics necessitates an analysis of not only their bilateral ties but also the significance of their regional and global pursuits. This book looks at the nuances and politics that the two countries attach to multilateral institutions and examines how they receive, react to and approach each other’s presence and upsurge. ISBN 978-11-3883-359-3 Price: £90.00 E-copy available	About the Book The rise of India and China as two major economic and political actors in both regional and global politics necessitates an analysis of not only their bilateral ties but also the significance of their regional and global pursuits. This book looks at the nuances and politics that the two countries attach to multilateral institutions and examines how they receive, react to and approach each other’s presence and upsurge. The driving theme of this book is to highlight the enduring and emerging complexities in India-China relations, which are multi-layered and polygonal in nature, and both a result and reflection of a multipolar world order. The book argues that coexistence between India and China in this multipolar world order is possible, but that it is limited to a medium-term perspective, given the constraints of identity complexities and global aspirations these two rising powers are pursuing. It goes on to discuss how their search for energy resources, quest to uphold their own identity as developing powers, and engagement in balance-of-power politics to exert authority on each other’s presence, are some elements that guide their non-cooperative relationship. By explaining the foreign policy approaches of Asia’s two major powers towards the growing Asian and global multilateralism, and highlighting the policies they carry towards each other, the book is a useful contribution to students and scholars of Asian Politics, Foreign Policy and International Relations.

Summing Up Reviews Endorsement 'Dr. Panda has produced a timely tour-de-force treatment of the most important geopolitical relationship in Asia today. This path-breaking study provides a remarkably comprehensive assessment of China-India relations, analyzing not just bilateral ties, but how the relationship plays out on the subcontinent, in the Asia-Pacific region, within the broader sphere of developing nations and rising powers, as well upon the global stage. I highly commend this up-to-date and thorough volume to anyone seeking to understand the larger 21st century seismic forces reshaping the geostrategic landscape of Asia and the world.' Andrew Scobell, RAND Corporation, USA 'Jagannath Panda has produced an innovative book on India-China relations that goes beyond just bilateral relations to consider sub-regional, regional and cross-continental interactions in groupings ranging from BCIM to IORA to BRICS. The result is a wide-ranging but careful assessment of the increasing complexities and encounters between India and China in a changing international setting. Scholars and students will benefit from this fresh and comprehensive treatment of India-China relations.' Satu Limaye, East West Center in Washington, USA 'In India-China Relations Dr. Jagannath Panda has crafted a comprehensive, thoughtful, and necessary contribution on what has fast become one of the most geopolitically consequential relationships of the 21st Century. From the origins of the China-India border dispute to contemporary issues like the Dalai Lama succession, China's One Belt One Road Initiative, and disputes over water resources, Dr. Panda shines a bright analytical light on this "complex web of competition, cooperation, conflict, collaboration, and coexistence." What's more, his research is supported by a generous helping of detailed maps, graphs and charts that will serve as a reference point for scholars for years to come. For anyone interested in one of the most important, complex, and poorly-understood relationships in the world, India-China Relations is a must-read.' Jeff Smith, Asian Security Programs, American Foreign Policy Council, USA 'In his new book on India-China relations, Jagannath Panda succeeds in bringing new light on a much-debated issue. His goal is ambitious, and rightly so. Combining political, ideological, geopolitical and geo-economic perspectives, and the willingness to reassess international relations theories at the light of what is really happening on the field and in the decision-makers circles, the multilevel approach selected guides the reader step by step across the intricate geometries designed by the two great Asian nations. The analysis is well informed, nuanced. A must read for those concerned by the new Asian dynamics, and by their impact on the rise of multi-polarity in the global world order.'

ISBN 978-81-8274-914-6, Price: ₹. 895 E-copy available	About the Book Rivers are the most visible form of fresh water. Rivers are ancient and older than civilizations a ‘mini cosmos’ spawning history, tales, spirituality, and technological incursions. Flowing rivers are the largest renewable water resource as well as a crucible for both humans and aquatic ecosystem. Rivers also have a habit of moving on and on from their source from where they gush with gay abandon to their mouth where they quietly disappear into the surroundings. That journey is now being interrupted. Since the age of industrialization, humans have increasingly exerted a pervasive influence on water resources. Rivers in particular have drawn humans to monumental engineering interventions such as dams and barrages often as chest-thumping dominance and seldom as an enduring bond between man and nature. ‘Hydro-politics’ or water politics is not a popular expression among water practitioners. In using hydro-politics, the book does not in any way negate hydro-cooperation rather the chapters argue that cooperation is hydro-politics. Since no water dispute, as history tells, has almost ever led to war, states have to ensure that sensible hydro-politics prevails so that the possibilities of water wars are unlikely in the future. Transboundary rivers link its riparians in a complex network of environmental, economic and security interdependencies. Cooperation among South Asian riparians is undoubtedly high but that does not mean the absence of competing claims for water. Thus water will remain deeply political. Often water agreements are not always about water. History and hegemony play an important role in understanding the strategic interaction among riparian states and in the contextual framework under what circumstances politics interfere with cooperation or whether sharing of water acts as a neutralising factor in difficult political situations.

ISBN 978-81-8274-919-1, Price: ₹. 795 E-copy available	About the Book Bringing about change in any setup, especially major shifts, is a challenge. This challenge is accentuated further in a strictly hierarchical organisation like the army, presenting an unenviable contradiction to both senior military practitioner and the governing elite, wherein, change is inevitable, yet, it is most likely to be resisted. Military change is a relatively nascent area of study, especially in the Indian scenario. This book attempts to analyse this subject through an examination of existing literature, thereby co-relating some of its primary conclusion in the context of the Indian Army. This is done in relation to both conventional and sub-conventional threats and challenges, with a number of case studies as illustrative examples. The book concludes that given the wide spectrum of threats faced by the Indian Army, as also most major armies across the world, attempts at understanding military change only through the prism of conventional wars could be misleading. It suggests that change need not only be revolutionary to enhance effectiveness. It could be both revolutionary and evolutionary, top-down and bottom-up. While effective change is primarily major in conventional conditions, it could well be tactical and yet make a substantial impact in sub-conventional scenarios. The book reinforces the importance of operational changes in the sub-conventional domain, even as an assessment of strategic and organisational changes is undertaken. It attempts to answer important questions related to the drivers, shapers, facilitating conditions and limitations related to effective change. It also relates military change with organisational change in the corporate world to provide an interesting comparative analysis. Finally, the book reinforces its conclusions through a survey of officers from the Indian Army, to highlight existing limitations that need to be corrected in order to better innovate and adapt in pursuit of effective military change.
