Sterling Publishers Pvt.Ltd The United Nations: In the New Millenium
Book SynopsisWe are now entering a world of greater plurilateralism, one that recognizes the shortcomings of multilateralism, the limits of bilateralism and the untenability of unilateralism. The current global situation has opened up spaces for more decentralised globalisation offering more opportunities to many more middle powers to participate actively in the international arena. What will the new order look like in the 21st century? The UN''s conflict prevention, peace-making and building role in regional conflicts, interstate and intrastate wars, and terrorism are serious developments coexisting with major power elitism, cross-veto, and implementation gaps. Universal membership of 193 countries makes consensus-building elusive. Big powers resort to unilateralism, regionalism, plurilateral and issue-based strategic groupings acting on their perceived national interests. The United Nations, therefore, enters the post globalized era in the 21st century as a central point of constancy in an age of flux. Through years of patient effort, it has achieved a complementarity in the working of its different organs which makes it the only organ most suited to fulfil its arduous tasks, thereby justifying its sustainability over 75 years. This new revised edition of the book looks at the old and new mandates of the United Nations today.

Juggernaut Publication India Versus China: Why They Are Not Friends
Book SynopsisWhy have relations between India and China, which comprise nearly forty per cent of the world's population, been troubled for over sixty years? A war in 1962 was followed by decades of uneasy peace, but in recent years a rising number of serious military confrontations has underlined their huge and growing differences.This book examines these differences in four crucial areas: their perceptions and prejudices about each other; their continuing disagreements over the border; their changing partnerships with America and Russia; and the growing power asymmetry between them, which affects all aspects of their relationship. China demands deference as a Great Power and the dominant country in Asia, while India wants recognition and respect as an equal. With such a deep divide separating the two neighbours, what does the future hold?

Manohar Publishers and Distributors Tipping Point: A Short Political History of India
Book SynopsisA French journalist once asked Nehru that, what was the most difficult part of his experience at the helm had been?' He replied, making a just society using just means. He further added, making a secular republic in a religious country.' Both these projects appear endangered today. In the circumstance that we find ourselves today, this book sketches the history of political forces in modern India. It begins defining these political categories of left, right and far-right with the usual reference to French Revolution (for want of an indigenous equivalent), and discusses movement of forces towards left, or towards the right from the balance of socio-political forces or status quo at a point of time in India. It recalls historical facts, uses chronological order for clarity and leaders' names and political parties, their world view and ideas of nation, social groups they represented, and their movements. It progresses by reopening only a few windows to modern Indian history and looks at periods like, the 1920-30s, and 1970s-80's, when there were significant movements and consolidation of socio-political forces to the right and far right.

Manohar Publishers and Distributors The Heirs of Vijayanagara: Court Politics in
Book SynopsisThis comparative study investigates court politics in four kingdoms that succeeded the Vijayanagara empire during the 16th to 18th centuries: Ikkeri, Tanjavur, Madurai, and Ramnad. Building on a unique combination of unexplored Indian texts and Dutch archival records, this research offers a captivating new analysis of political culture, power relations, and dynastic developments. This monograph provides, in great detail, both new facts and fresh insights that contest existing scholarship. By highlighting their competitive, fluid, and dynamic nature, it undermines the historiography viewing these courts as harmonic, hierarchic, and static. Far from being remote, ritualised figures, we find kings and Brahmins contesting with other courtiers for power. At the same time, by stressing continuities with the past, this study questions the recent scholarship that perceives a fundamentally new form of Nayaka kingship.

Aspekt B.V., Uitgeverij A World without States
Book SynopsisHumanity is still living in the transitioning period from an animalistic to a humane existence. This is characterized by matters including war, violence and inhumanity. It is not surprising. Today the entire surface of the earth is divided into states, and communities that only care for their own interests. It is exactly this system of states that obstructs a fast and effective approach to large problems such as lasting peace, security and the habitability of the world. They are, after all, global problems. The system of states divides humanity into hostile units and has established a political barrier for a solution to the problem. There is only one solution for this problem and that is ending the sovereignty of the 193 states. Retain the right for private political policies, take away the ability to bully and threaten other countries, to own armed forces, to commit inhumane crimes. But who should govern us? A world government! A government that merely focuses on world problems. Because the solution to these problems is more important than local issues. Without a global authority humanity is left empty-handed. Dago Steenis (1925) wrote a remarkably positive book, something that is actually more than a book, it is a thought that can be passed on. Not like a pamphlet, but based on his speech. According to Steenis history cannot be a linear concept, not a static process, without progress. On the contrary. History precisely demonstrates that we have a reason to be optimistic, developments of mankind are evolutionary, and an increasing form of human growth and potency. Since the emergence of culture man gradually replaced natural evolution by cultural evolution.

Kopernik Chaotic Uncertainty: Reflections on Islam The
Book SynopsisImmanuel Wallerstein is one of the most important and yet controversial thinkers and activists of our time, writing on a wide range of topics from global economics and international politics. To Wallerstein, capitalist world-system, which was created over the last five hundred years, and whose main ideology was liberalism, has been going through a deep structural crisis since the 1970s.

In his works in last few decades, Wallerstein has devoted almost all of his energy and time analyzing and explaining how the capitalist system could be replaced by a better system. In that regards, he considers Islamism as one of the most important dissenting movements in the World-System, but necessarily as a powerful force to replace it.

Hamad Bin Khalifa University Press Overcoming Smallness: Challenges and
Book SynopsisThe great majority of the world's legally sovereign states are small. The conventional view among scholars and policymakers has been that size is the determining factor of state-behaviour and that the lack of surplus capabilities in small states limits their capacity to act autonomously both at home and abroad. The co-authors acknowledge the constraints of "smallness", but at the same time, this book argues for a more nuanced view of small states. In doing so, the authors frame their discussion in terms of the extensive and constantly evolving theoretical literature on small states. They also draw on a wide-range of small state case studies, with a special focus on the recent blockade of Qatar, to analyse the opportunities as well as challenges that small states must deal with as economic and foreign policy actors in the contemporary global system.
