Book excerpt: It Is Generally Viewed That A Country Like Bangladesh Which Is Weak, Poor And Heavily Dependent Upon The Assistance Of The International Institutions And Major Powers Of The World Can Not Have Any Thing Significant In Its Foreign Policy Which Can Be Studied. The Reality Is Contrary To The Common Perception. Foreign Policy Of All The Least Developed Countries Including Bangladesh Is More Important For Their Policy Makers Than Any Domestic Policy. Policy Formulation For Development In Any Area And Its Implementation Through Programmes Is Largely Dependent Upon The International ?Development Partners?. National Budget Of Bangladesh Is Normally Presented In The Parliament Every Year After The Annual Meeting Of The International Aid Consortium On Bangladesh. Foreign Policy And Diplomacy Is The Only Tool To Mobilize And Maintain Differents ?Development Partners? Interested In The Problems Of A Ldc Like Bangladesh. Foreign Policy Is Not Important Only For The Development Of The Ldcs But Also For Their National Security. Like All Developed And Developing States, These States Too Have Their Threat Perceptions ? Actual Or Imaginary. In Most Cases Unsettled Borders Are Causes Of Conflicts Among The Developing Countries Including The Ldcs. Active And Moderate Foreign Policy In The International Organizations, Cooperative Relationship With The Major World Powers And Problem Free Cordial Relations With Neighbours Is Essential For Their Security. Dissuasion Of Neighbour/S Or Any Other Interested Foreign Power From Covert Or Overt Support To Peaceful Or Insurgent Movement/S Of Disaffected Group/S Within The Country Is A Big Challenge To The Foreign Policy Makers Of These States. Development And Maintenance Of Military Capability As Deterrence To Any Foreign Intervention Is Non-Feasible For Them. Diplomacy Is The Only Effective Means For The Protection And Promotion Of Their Vital National Interests Particularly When The Other Party Is More Powerful. The Status Of Bangladesh As The Largest Ldc In Terms Of Population, The Geo-Politics Of Its Location, The Overlapping Physiography And Hydrography With India Are The Factors Which Create Many Challenges For The Development And Security Of The Country. There Is No Alternative Of An Active, Moderate And Liberal Foreign Policy For Bangladesh To Overcome The Problems Coming In The Way Of Nation-State Building. Despite Many Of Its Failures, Bangladesh Which Was Leveled As A ?Basket Case? By The Pessimists After Its Emergence As An Independent State Has Been Successful In Overcoming Many Of Its Problems And Improving The Quality Of Life Of Its People In Many Respects. Its Achievements In The Sector Of Human Resources Development In Recent Year Have Been More Appreciable Than India And Pakistan. Active Foreign Policy Has Played Important Role For Bangladesh?S Successes In Different National Sectors. The Present Work Analyzes All The Important Dimensions Of Bangladeshi Foreign Policy In A Theoretical Paradigm. It Is Hoped That The Book Will Be Helpful In The Study Of The Foreign Policies Of Other Ldcs Particularly Of South Asia.

Download or read book China Studies in South and Southeast Asia written by Manomaivibool Prapin and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2018-08-10 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rise of China has reconstituted the regional identity in Asia as well as the lens through which understanding of China and self-understanding are no longer separate processes intellectually. China scholarship in South and Southeast Asia necessarily highlights meanings of encountering China that Western social sciences fail to reflect because academics in many places, being migrants, navigate and combine more than one civilization forces. With China in itself undergoing transformation, it is unlikely that one can simply speak of China without multiple qualifications of what one actually refers to. The book gathers authors who come from different scholarly traditions to reflect upon how the presentation of China in academic writings as well as think tank analyses can engender different identity possibilities. The book therefore complicates the category 'China' to enable mutual empathy between everything that in one way or another relies on Chineseness as object or subject in accordance with the identity strategies of the China experts.

Download or read book What We Won written by Bruce Riedel and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2014-07-28 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In February 1989, the CIA's chief in Islamabad famously cabled headquarters a simple message: "We Won." It was an understated coda to the most successful covert intelligence operation in American history. In What We Won, CIA and National Security Council veteran Bruce Riedel tells the story of America's secret war in Afghanistan and the defeat of the Soviet 40th Red Army in the war that proved to be the final battle of the cold war. He seeks to answer one simple question—why did this intelligence operation succeed so brilliantly? Riedel has the vantage point few others can offer: He was ensconced in the CIA's Operations Center when the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan on Christmas Eve 1979. The invasion took the intelligence community by surprise. But the response, initiated by Jimmy Carter and accelerated by Ronald Reagan, was a masterful intelligence enterprise. Many books have been written about intelligence failures—from Pearl Harbor to 9/11. Much less has been written about how and why intelligence operations succeed. The answer is complex. It involves both the weaknesses and mistakes of America's enemies, as well as good judgment and strengths of the United States. Riedel introduces and explores the complex personalities pitted in the war—the Afghan communists, the Russians, the Afghan mujahedin, the Saudis, and the Pakistanis. And then there are the Americans—in this war, no Americans fought on the battlefield. The CIA did not send officers into Afghanistan to fight or even to train. In 1989, victory for the American side of the cold war seemed complete. Now we can see that a new era was also beginning in the Afghan war in the 1980s, the era of the global jihad. This book examines the lessons we can learn from this intelligence operation for the future and makes some observations on what came next in Afghanistan—and what is likely yet to come.

Download or read book Shaping the Emerging World written by Waheguru Pal Singh Sidhu and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2013-08-01 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India faces a defining period. Its status as a global power is not only recognized but increasingly institutionalized, even as geopolitical shifts create both opportunities and challenges. With critical interests in almost every multilateral regime and vital stakes in emerging ones, India has no choice but to influence the evolving multilateral order. If India seeks to affect the multilateral order, how will it do so? In the past, it had little choice but to be content with rule taking—adhering to existing international norms and institutions. Will it now focus on rule breaking—challenging the present order primarily for effect and seeking greater accommodation in existing institutions? Or will it focus on rule shaping—contributing in partnership with others to shape emerging norms and regimes, particularly on energy, food, climate, oceans, and cyber security? And how do India's troubled neighborhood, complex domestic politics, and limited capacity inhibit its rule-shaping ability? Despite limitations, India increasingly has the ideas, people, and tools to shape the global order—in the words of Jawaharlal Nehru, "not wholly or in full measure, but very substantially." Will India emerge as one of the shapers of the emerging international order? This volume seeks to answer that question.

Download or read book Trade And Investment In South Asia An Analysis written by Choudhury Rahul Nath and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2019-09-26 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) flows started gaining traction in South Asia from the late 20th century onwards, when nations from the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) began moving away from highly controlled regimes and adopting liberal and open economic policies.In the context of surplus labour and capital scarcity faced by South Asian countries such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, to varying degrees, the economic reform process has provided an opportunity to actively promote inward FDI flows, with the goal of providing the much-needed capital for the growth of this region. Several policy initiatives were undertaken to attract FDI and incentives were announced to fascinate investors, resulting in the inflow of FDI across the region.This book examines FDI inflows in SAARC nations in the light of regional policy changes in the 21st century. It investigates the relationship between trade and FDI in the region, and also provides insights into the ease of doing business in the SAARC region.
Download or read book The South Asia Papers written by Stephen P. Cohen and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2016-04-12 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This curated collection examines Stephen Philip Cohen’s impressive body of work. Stephen Philip Cohen, the Brookings scholar who virtually created the field of South Asian security studies, has curated a unique collection of the most important articles, chapters, and speeches from his fifty-year career. Cohen, often described as the “dean” of U.S. South Asian studies, is a dominant figure in the fields of military history, military sociology, and South Asia’s strategic emergence. Cohen introduces this work with a critical look at his past writing—where he was right, where he was wrong. This exceptional collection includes materials that have never appeared in book form, including Cohen’s original essays on the region’s military history, the transition from British rule to independence, the role of the armed forces in India and Pakistan, the pathologies of India-Pakistan relations, South Asia’s growing nuclear arsenal, and America’s fitful (and forgetful) regional policy.
Download or read book Crossing the Bay of Bengal written by Sunil S. Amrith and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2013-10-07 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Indian Ocean was global long before the Atlantic, and today the countries bordering the Bay of Bengal—India, Bangladesh, Burma, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Malaysia—are home to one in four people on Earth. Crossing the Bay of Bengal places this region at the heart of world history for the first time. Integrating human and environmental history, and mining a wealth of sources, Sunil Amrith gives a revelatory and stirring new account of the Bay and those who have inhabited it. For centuries the Bay of Bengal served as a maritime highway between India and China, and then as a battleground for European empires, all while being shaped by the monsoons and by human migration. Imperial powers in the nineteenth century, abetted by the force of capital and the power of steam, reconfigured the Bay in their quest for coffee, rice, and rubber. Millions of Indian migrants crossed the sea, bound by debt or spurred by drought, and filled with ambition. Booming port cities like Singapore and Penang became the most culturally diverse societies of their time. By the 1930s, however, economic, political, and environmental pressures began to erode the Bay’s centuries-old patterns of interconnection. Today, rising waters leave the Bay of Bengal’s shores especially vulnerable to climate change, at the same time that its location makes it central to struggles over Asia’s future. Amrith’s evocative and compelling narrative of the region’s pasts offers insights critical to understanding and confronting the many challenges facing Asia in the decades ahead.
