This book analyzes energy security through the lens of oil and
natural gas and explains how geopolitics and security challenges
affect India's quest for energy security. It also offers insights
into India's international trade and investment in the overseas oil
and natural gas markets and discusses shale energy, adopting
region-specific (Africa, West Asia, Central Asia, and LAC),
country-specific (Russia and the US), maritime-specific (Arctic and
South China Sea), and pipeline-specific (TAPI, MBI, IPI, and RCI)
approaches to analyze India's oil and natural gas trade and
investment abroad. The introductory chapter examines energy
perspectives in international relations and conceptualizes energy
geopolitics and energy security from both international and Indian
standpoints. The book also highlights the similarities and
differences in the issues involved in the global oil and natural
gas market, and India's approach to these, offering a roadmap for
holistic and integrated energy security through oil and natural
gas. Since India's energy trade and investment in the international
oil and natural gas market are not free from the effects of
political instability, corruption, environment crisis, militancy,
terrorism, war, and geopolitical involvement and interference, the
book investigates the nature and extent of the security threats and
competition India faces in the oil and natural gas-producing
countries while pursuing its trade and investments there. As major
sources of energy, oil and natural gas are strategic assets, and
energy security is one of the core areas of India's foreign policy
pursuits. As such, the chapters critically assess India's energy
policy and resource diplomacy, providing analyses of the issues
raised, identifying the central arguments and presenting existing
cooperations - with past examples where necessary. The book appeals
to scholars and policymakers active in the fields of energy,
political science, international relations, economics, foreign
policy, peace and conflict, security and geopolitics, as well as
non-experts interested in this topic.

This book looks at different dimensions of political participation
of women voters in India. Elections in India have witnessed an
increasing electoral participation of women, both as political
actors and as voters. Taking note of this positive development, the
book looks at what has contributed to this increased turnout among
women voters in Indian elections and discusses in detail the
factors that facilitate or hinder this participation. Drawing on
empirical data from 11 Indian states, it looks at key issues like
the voting behaviour and political activities of Indian women;
individual and motivational factors affecting participation; the
political socialization of women at home; the role of internalized
patriarchy and political opinions; along with the challenges faced
by women in attaining representation in Indian politics. An
important contribution in the study of voting patterns, this book
will be indispensable to scholars and researchers of political
studies, women’s studies, gender studies, sociology, Indian
politics, political sociology, voting behaviour and South Asian
studies. It will also be useful for journalists and activists.

This book explores the development of sustainable public
procurement (SPP) as a strategic policy instrument to support
decoupling of economic growth from environmental degradation and
enhancing social well-being. Offering an in-depth case study of
India's SPP implementation trajectory, it discusses the challenges
of integrating sustainability criteria into purchasing decisions,
and examines policy choices and best practices to address them. It
investigates the legislative, institutional, and governance
framework for SPP in India, and identifies priority actions to
accelerate wider uptake of SPP policy and practices. Furthermore,
the book highlights the evolving role of SPP policies in response
to emerging global mega trends, such as international trade, low
carbon economy, circular economy, and Industry 4.0. Given its
scope, this book appeals to scholars of economics, public
administration, and environmental and social sciences, as well as
to policymakers, practitioners, and advocates interested in
steering transformational changes towards mainstreaming sustainable
procurement practices in developing economies at the desired scale.
"This book comes at the right time to compensate for the lack of
in-depth works on the origins, nature and reality of the
implementation of sustainable purchases." - Farid Yaker, Programme
Officer, Sustainable Public Procurement, Economy Division, UNEP,
Paris, France. "...If you are a procurement or sustainability
professional anywhere in the world, please read this book. It will
change the way you think and feel about your profession." - Shaun
McCarthy OBE, Chair, Supply Chain Sustainability School, London, UK

Why are children from disadvantaged and minority communities
overrepresented among academic underachievers, poor learners and
school dropouts? This volume engages with this question and
examines classroom learning as a process that involves a multitude
of actors situated in specific social, cultural, and historical
contexts. The volume covers an interdisciplinary spectrum of
educational processes, contexts, educational ambitions, and
limitations of low caste, working class and middle-class students
from different Indian communities and regions. The volume delves
into the problem of academic underperformance from a social
identity perspective and probes into social context-based
variability in classroom learning, systemic disadvantages in the
form of negative stereotypes and the family as an under-studied
social group in all discussions of schooling. It also examines the
teacher perceptions and attitudes toward Adivasi students and other
minority groups in primary schools, and their effect on children's
classroom engagement. The essays in this volume provide insights
into unresolved and critical research questions that require
attention of teachers, school management, educators, and policy
makers alike. This book will also be useful for academicians,
policymakers, teacher educators, pedagogic practitioners in India
and abroad, and state and central government institutions working
on school education, educational psychology, policymaking in
education, learning methods and research on educational
enhancement.
