India’s National Security Annual Review 2016-17

India’s National Security Annual Review 2016-17

The global security environment in the last five years has been characterised by a state of ‘no war no peace’ among major powers resulting in a state of uncertainty about their national security objectives. For instance the US has been concerned about the attitudes of Iran Russia North Korea China and others and yet did not expect a direct military conflict with them. On the other hand China has expanded its naval strategy from a mere ‘off-shore defence’ to ‘open seas protection’ and has called for both ‘defence and offence’ instead of merely ‘territorial air defence’ thereby indicating preparedness for the possibility of a military confrontation. The major powers have been thus groping for suitable responses to their threat perceptions. It is in this kind of a complex and confusing international environment that India as a rising power has been called upon to wade through its strategic partnerships with major powers and nurture friendships with various Asian and African countries. This sixteenth volume of India’s National Security Annual Review offers indispensable information and evaluation on matters pertaining to national security. It undertakes a thorough analysis of the trends to provide a backdrop to India’s engagement with various countries. The volume also discusses persisting threats from China and Pakistan. With contributions from experts from the fields of diplomacy academia and civil and military services the book will be one of the most dependable sources of analyses for scholars of international relations foreign policy defence and strategic studies and political science and practitioners alike. | India’s National Security Annual Review 2016-17

Territorial Politics and the Party System in Spain: Continuity and change since the financial crisis

Territorial Politics and the Party System in Spain: Continuity and change since the financial crisis

Across Western Europe the global financial crisis of 2008 and its aftermath not only brought economic havoc but also in turn intense political upheaval. Many of the political manifestations of the crisis seen in other Western and especially Southern European countries also hit Spain where challenger parties caused unprecedented parliamentary fragmentation resulting in four general elections in under four years from 2015 onwards. Yet Spain a decentralised state where extensive powers are devolved to 17 regions known as ‘autonomous communities’ also stood out from its neighbours due to the importance of the territorial dimension of politics in shaping the political expression of the crisis. This book explains how and why the territorial dimension of politics contributed to shaping party system continuity and change in Spain in the aftermath of the financial crisis with a particular focus on party behaviour. The territorial dimension encompasses the demands for ever greater autonomy or even sovereignty coming from certain parties within the historic regions of the Basque Country Catalonia and to a lesser extent Galicia. It also encompasses where these historic regions sit within the broader dynamics of intergovernmental relations across Spain’s 17 autonomous communities in total and how these dynamics contribute to shaping party strategies and behaviour in Spain. Such features became particularly salient in the aftermath of the financial crisis since this coincided with and indeed accelerated the rise of the independence movement in Catalonia. | Territorial Politics and the Party System in Spain: Continuity and change since the financial crisis

Political Representation in Indonesia The Emergence of the Innovative Technocrats

Political Representation in Indonesia The Emergence of the Innovative Technocrats

This book analyses the transformation of political representation in contemporary Indonesia to argue the need to better understand how political representatives use claims to engage in storytelling about themselves and the community they represent. By adopting a new approach that focuses on the cultural and performative aspects of representation and draws on a substantive evidence base of representative claims this book examines common narratives developed by Joko Widodo Tri Rismaharini Basuki Tjahaja Purnama Ridwan Kamil and Nurdin Abdullah. Through this analysis the book highlights two key foundations of their claims: technocratic focus and innovative engagement. This study considers how the ideational power generated through the representative claim-making of these leaders interacts and competes with other forms of power. Moreover the author emphasises the success of the representative claims developed by the innovative technocrats while noting the impact their emergence has had on the broader context of Indonesian politics. An empirical monograph on new and upcoming leaders in Indonesia this book will be of interest to scholars of democracy and democratisation and political change in general and Southeast Asian politics and Indonesian politics in particular. | Political Representation in Indonesia The Emergence of the Innovative Technocrats
