NUS Press Britain and Sihanouk's Cambodia
Book SynopsisDiplomatic relations between Cambodia and Britain at the height of the Cold War provide unique insights into the overall foreign policies of both nations. King Norodom Sihanouk's strategy of preserving the independence and integrity of Cambodia through a policy of neutrality grew ever more challenging as the Cold War heated up in Indochina and the conflict in Vietnam became a proxy war between the superpowers. Despite its alliance with the United States, Britain's diplomatic objectives in the region largely aligned with Cambodia's, and British criticism of US policy towards Cambodia was a problem in the alliance.British diplomatic records present a fascinating window into Cambodian decision-making, and the rationale behind Sihanouk's sometimes apparently irrational policies. The reports yield new insights into Sihanouk's efforts to sustain Cambodia's integrity vis-à-vis its more powerful neighbours. Equally, a fine-grained analysis of British-Cambodia relations reveals much about the dynamics of British foreign policy in the period. Britain's ultimate dependence on its powerful American ally limited its influence in the region. After 1967, indeed, it ceased to have a strategic role. Over the period, British frustrations grew, even as it remained consistent in its foreign policy objectives and approaches.

Independent Publishing Network Pakistan in Turmoil: Story of the Decline of
Book SynopsisMujahid Hussain traces the roots of the compressive socio-political, economic, and moral degradation faced by Pakistan at individual, societal, governmental, and state levels. This book presents sharp images of conceptual confusions, policy decisions, and priorities that set Pakistan on a downward slide. It relates how a newly-acquired state ideology (religion) is overlaid on an imperfect democracy in order to achieve a utopia. The ideology, however, paved the way for dictatorship while suppressing cultural and religious diversity, right to express and constitutional guarantees such as equality before law. Besides, the ideology necessitated indoctrination while creating ghost enemies that validated disproportionate defence expenditures at the cost of education, health, and housing. The resort to ideology could not build even the moral fibre of the individual or society, which was soon distinguished as one of the most corrupt among nations. This book gives short narrations of the culture of the corruption and impunity that seeped into different sectors of state and society including journalism, politics, and the armed forces.

Academic Studies Press From Victory to Peace: Russian Diplomacy after
Book SynopsisFrom Victory to Peace: Russian Diplomacy After Napoleon explores how Russia’s diplomats understood European security as they worked to implement the edifice of pacification and peace constructed in 1814, 1815, and 1818. In response to developments across Europe and in Spanish America, Emperor Alexander I’s hopes for peace, pragmatic adaptability, and commitment to act in concert with the other great powers came fully into focus. Based on sources of Russian provenance, the book challenges characterizations of Alexander’s behavior as erratic and his foreign policy as heavy-handed and expansionist. Indeed, as historians assimilate the Russian perspective on European order (as well as the perspectives of other less well-studied countries), they encounter a multifaceted Restoration built upon practices of enlightened reformism and direct experience of revolution and war.
