INDIAN FOREIGN TRADE: Trumped Up or Down
0Original price was: ₹495.00.₹395.00Current price is: ₹395.00.The world is still spellbound by the phenomenon called Mr. Donald J. Trump – the new President of the United States of America. He has spectacularly garnered the attention of people around the globe, influencing their viewpoint on world politics and international trade; the resultant impression has great consequences for the US and the world. Trump has taken a surprisingly divergent stand against the trade policy that was being pursued by the Obama administration. This has resulted in chaos, and muddied the world trade process. USA is India`s number one trade partner, especially for exports. Any significant shift in the American trade policy is surely going to impact India`s trade relationship with the superpower, and its domestic economic growth, whereas the agenda set by the Indian Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi, is to increase Indian exports to the US and move to the next level of trade engagement (after a very successful relationship with the previous American President, Mr. Barack Obama). It becomes imperative now, more than ever, to carefully assess this shift and understand its impact on the Indian foreign trade in order to understand whether the accession of Trump as the US President is in India`s interest or against it.

LOOK EAST TO ACT EAST: Transforming India-ASEAN Relations in Modi Era
0Original price was: ₹1,495.00.₹1,395.00Current price is: ₹1,395.00.Act East Policy launched in 2014 has been one of the signature foreign policy approaches of Modi-1 government and is a proactive foreign policy initiative. The movement from Look East to Act East was necessitated by the changing contours of security architecture in the larger context of the Indo-Pacific region. Act East Policy has further expanded the geography within its imprint; Myanmar to Australia comes under its domain. ASEAN and East Asian countries expect India to play a counter-balancing role within the region. Under Modi government, India has taken a principled stand on disputes like South and East China Seas stating that all disputing parties must adhere to international laws. This policy provides a broad canvass for issues ranging from economy, culture to strategy. The reelection of Modi with a larger majority in May 2019 is bound to consolidate the Act East Policy. India has developed convergences with many important countries of the region under the ambit of this policy and it is bound to pay more dividends in the foreseeable future for India`s national interests.

MAVERICK LEADERSHIP: Embracing The Power of Constructive Disobedience
0₹995.00It is easy to deal with an ‘Unlawful Order’. How do you deal with a ‘Lawful but an Awful Order’?This book builds a powerful narrative that constructive dissent, constructive disobedience, and positive defiance are positive tools for the long-term sustenance of an organisation. They are an extension of integrity, moral courage and value-based leadership.Covered in sixteen chapters, the book critically examines the theme in all its dimensions. Interesting case studies on the ‘My Lai Massacre’, General Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in dealing with a reckless US President in 20-21 and the India-China conflict highlight the complexities and the challenges involved. A critical analysis of the Indian bureaucracy compels serious introspection for overhaul.The wars in the last 100 years, mostly of choice and not necessity, meet the definition of ‘Folly’ and the ‘Law of Stupidity’. The outcome was clear from the beginning, there were alternatives and warnings, and finally, they devastated humanity without bringing any good to the perpetrator. When civil institutional oversight fails or gets compromised, a country’s military and civil society have a critical role to play. They must prevent descent into chaos.It was not the greed of a few corporate honchos but the compliance of many that destroyed flourishing corporates. It was not the obedience of millions of African Americans but the defiance of one black woman that ended racial segregation. It was the defiance of one Indian soldier in the 1857 mutiny that laid the foundation of the Indian freedom movement. Organisations have a natural affinity with oligarchy and exploitation. Constructive dissent and constructive disobedience ensure the long-term good of all stakeholders by preempting fatal decisions.An engrossing food for thought for an intellectual mind. -

The threat perception from each group has been covered in this book in details. The book will be useful for further research on militancy, terrorism, radicalization and security related issues.

Modi`s message of development and good governance combined with the economic agenda of growth attracted the attention of young and aspiring India. His government must achieve on diverse subjects like economy, foreign policy, food security, external and internal security, job creation, administrative reforms etc. The people of India have high hopes and expectations from Modi`s government and they will be impatient to see how Narendra Modi will out his agenda. It is an opportune time to for him to restore people`s faith in democracy and India`s glory.
