Indo Japan cooperation in peacekeeping comments. This book lies at the intersection between United Nations peacekeeping operations and India Japan relations. While India has been at the forefront of UNPKO since its beginning Japan due to its unique recent history and pacifist constitution is a more recent hesitant and tentative contributor to overseas peaceful military operations. Instead Japan is the second largest contributor to the UN's regular and peacekeeping budgets and has provided some senior civilian representatives to specific peacekeeping operations. Both nations thus have a wealth of experience to exchange and share. This unique book is an attempt precisely at this even though this cooperation must remain situated within the broader context of their bilateral relationship. The participation of some of the most experienced practitioners from both countries in international peacekeeping operations lends this book its particular distinction and must be read with all the seriousness that his issue deserves. 262 pp. …

Index. The Taliban were gold like figures for a war torn country's war weary people. They promised to rid the country of anarchy lawlessness and disintegration and thus earned the support of Afghans. The Taliban were defeated or so we were told by the Americans when the Frankenstein came back to haunt them. The Taliban were consigned to the dustbin of history or so we thought when Hamid Karzai was anointed as the newest ruler in Kabul. However if lessons of history canons of geo strategy and reports from Afghanistan are anything to go by Taliban were not done away with not by default but by design. The author rejects the widely believed argument that the Taliban movement has been defeated once and for all. The author claims that the endgame in Afghanistan is likely to be an eventual induction of the Taliban elements into the Afghan Government by way of a consensus reached among Pakistan the US and Karzai. However in the course of time such a status quo is unlikely to endure. Pakistan's internal and geo strategic compulsions will prompt it to advocate for more and more space for the Taliban in the Afghan Government. In short this study is an in depth analysis of the raison d'etre of the rise fall and resurgence of the Taliban. 138 pp.…

The birth of the South Asian Association for Regional Co operation (SAARC) in 1985 marked a new beginning for the seven South Asian countries India Pakistan Bangladesh Nepal Bhutan Sri Lanka and Maldives. For the first time these countries made an institutionalized effort to forge multilateral co operation among them. But even after twenty years of existence of the SAARC the leaders of the South Asian countries are usually much more comfortable in dealing with the countries outside the region than they are with themselves and the past for them remains the present. Therefore the first twenty years experience of this regional organization can hardly put SAARC in the same category of the European Union (EU) or even in that of Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN). While the latest phase of globalization must have forced the leader the SAARC countries to rethink their relationship vis a vis one another and to work for a free trade region in South Asia but the turbulent years are yet to be left in mind. But why could not SAARC succeed when many other regional organizations are reaching new highs. Who were at fault. This book is a humble attempt to find probable answers to these serious questions that have been bothering the people of South Asia for quite some time. 412 pp.…
