The Growing Complexity of Sino-Indian Ties

View the Executive SummaryAccording to most political observers, the global political architecture is undergoing a transformation with power increasingly shifting from the West to the East. The two most populous nations on the earth, China and India, are on their way to becoming economic powerhouses and are shedding their reticence in asserting their global profiles, making their relationship of still greater importance for the international system.

India\u27s Changing Afghanistan Policy: Regional and Global Implications

View the Executive SummarySince 2001, the situation in Afghanistan has afforded New Delhi an opportunity to underscore its role as a regional power. India has a growing stake in the development of peace and stability in Afghanistan; and the 2011 India-Afghan strategic partnership agreement underlines India’s commitment to ensure that a positive momentum in Delhi-Kabul ties is maintained. This monograph examines the changing trajectory of Indian policy toward Afghanistan since 2001, and it is argued that New Delhi has been responding to a strategic environment shaped by other actors in the region. U.S.-led North Atlantic Treaty Organization forces are preparing to leave Afghanistan in 2014, and India stands at a crossroads as it remains keen to preserve its interests in Afghanistan. The ever-evolving Indian policy in Afghanistan is examined in three phases before implications of this change for the region and the United States are drawn. There has been a broader maturing of the U.S.-India defense ties, and Afghanistan is likely to be a beneficiary of this trend. Managing Pakistan and unravelling Islamabad’s encirclement complex should be the biggest priority for both Washington and New Delhi in the coming years if there is to be any hope of keeping Afghanistan a stable entity post-2014.https://press.armywarcollege.edu/monographs/1534/thumbnail.jp

GENETIC ENGINEERING AND FARMING IN ANIMALS: A REVIEW

Availability of animal protein for human consumption is very low in the developing countries mainly because of low productivity of existing livestock; ways and means to improve productivity through breeding are discussed and some basic issues requiring further research pointed out. Human beings have been altering the characteristics of farm animals through selective breeding since the beginning of domestication thousands of years ago. In recent decades, selective breeding has been aided by a number of assisted reproductive technologies such as artificial insemination and embryo transfer. Within the globalized animal breeding industry, a small number of large multinational companies control the vast majority of livestock and poultry breeding. Increasingly, specialized breeds have been developed that produce very high yields of a single commodity (such as meat, milk or eggs). The drive to increase productivity has, in many cases, had serious consequences for the health and welfare of the animals
