This book presents an alternative roadmap for a world characterised
by geopolitical uncertainty. The surging expectations about a
future world of democratic values and high economic growth, born
out of superpower bonhomie at the end of the Cold War, did not lead
to the promised outcomes. Instead we are faced with deeply
destabilising challenges, like climate change, widespread state
fragility, terrorism, arms race, disruptive newer technologies,
global economic volatility, and ineffectiveness of multilateral
institutions, old and new. The volume: surveys the intellectual
discourse, the attempts to redesign the global institutions, and
the geopolitical trends since the end of the Cold War for an
understanding of the contemporary geopolitics, analyses the
characteristics of the contemporary geopolitics, the seeming
intractability of the global challenges, and the ongoing discourse
about preventing their further deterioration, foregrounds the
Gandhian praxis and IR theory for managing power transitions
anchored in non-violent mobilisation of empowered masses, ensuring
institutional resilience, and illustrates them through ongoing
conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, outlines an approach, based on
the Gandhian experience of managing political change, towards
conflict, geopolitical uncertainties, and institutional
ineffectiveness for securing a better future globally, including
South Asia. Accessibly written, this volume will be indispensable
for foreign policy experts, government think tanks, and career
bureaucrats. It will also be essential for scholars and researchers
of international relations, foreign policy, politics, and
governance and public policy.
