Indo-Asian Geopolitics: Contemporary Perspectives by DRaS
India remains integral in all the discourses on Asian Century. Eminent scholars have conceptualized and provided nuanced interpretations of India's aspirations, threats, and options with regard to Pakistan, Afghanistan, Russia and China in South China Sea. Acknowledging these scholarly views but stepping beyond, a set of emerging scholars from India attempt to examine the concepts of nations, national identity and war, and multilateralism in this book. Extrapolating these concepts into current affairs, they then evaluate CPEC, India-Afghanistan- Pakistan, and China-Taiwan conundrum. They also critically look at the emerging challenge of private military contractors in international security and the potentially provocative Russia-India-China alliance using the Primakov Doctrine, taking de-dollarization as a case study. The student-authors were mentored and guided in their research for their contributions during their internship with Praghna Centre for Research and Defence Research and Studies, as part of a research writing program spanning four months.

The Startup Habit
Between 2012 and 2014, the authors of this book met regularly on weekends to discuss the entrepreneurship scene in India and Kerala in particular. We swapped stories of the budding entrepreneurs, their struggles and successes. We worried about the disappointments, cheered the excitements and patiently waited for the turnarounds of the young men and women who had taken the plunge into the exhilarating environment of entrepreneurship. Over the course of several months, from what we saw firsthand, from what we heard and from what we read, it dawned on us that there is a pattern among the success stories. We began a more structured analysis to see if our hunch was correct. This book is the produ...

Artificial Intelligence and TheFuture of Power
A recurrent debate surrounding AI concerns the extent of human work that could be replaced by machines over the next twenty years when compared to new jobs created by AI. Numerous reports have addressed this issue, reaching a wide range of conclusions. Experts consider it a reasonable consensus that eventually a significant portion of blue- and white-collar jobs in most industries will become obsolete, or at least transformed, to such an extent that workers will need re-education to remain viable. This percentage of vulnerable jobs will continue to increase over time. The obsolescence will be far worse in developing countries where the standard of education is lower.
The Bhishma Way
Contemporary dilemmas, whether in business or politics, bear an uncanny resemblance to the predicaments witnessed in the ever-timely epic, the Mahabharata. Who else but Bhishma Pitamah then to the rescue of the modern-day manager, politician or bureaucrat! In the epic, Bhishma is the upholder of truth and dharma, his life shaped by the difficult choices he makes. He isn’t always infallible, but even where his decisions are questionable, he serves as a role model. Prof. N. Balasubramanian uses this powerful figure and his selfless values as a guide to make the right choices in The Bhishma Way. He discusses the importance of values, dharma, truth, justice and governance in businesses and governments. Analyses of real-life cases—among them, Union Carbide and the Bhopal gas tragedy, James Hardie and asbestos in Australia, and Ok Tedi in Papua New Guinea—complement the mythological stories and insightful anecdotes in this illuminating and thought-provoking book. This serves as an instructive read for anyone striving for a higher moral code in day-to-day decision-making and leadership.

Look East to Act East Policy
This volume captures the success of India’s Look East Policy (LEP) in promoting economic engagement with neighbouring countries in Asia and simultaneously its limitations in propelling growth in the bordering North Eastern Region — India’s bridge head to South East Asia. It analyses the instrumental role of LEP in bringing a tectonic shift in India’s foreign trade by redirecting the focus from the West to the East, thus leading to a fundamental change in the nature of India’s economic interdependence. Besides discussing foreign trade, it expounds as to how LEP made India play an important role in the emerging Asian security architecture and liberated Indian foreign policy from being centred on South Asia. The essays also enumerate the reasons for LEP’s failure in the North Eastern Region and chart out actionable programmes for course correction that might be factored into its latest edition — the Act East Policy. This book will interest scholars and researchers of international relations, international trade and economics, politics, and particularly those concerned with Northeast India.
