From Nicopolis to Mohács, A History of Ottoman-Hungarian Warfare, 1389-1526.
:
In From Nicopolis to Mohács , Tamás Pálosfalvi offers an account of Ottoman-Hungarian warfare from its start in the late fourteenth century to the battle of Mohács in 1526. During this period of one century and a half, the Kingdom of Hungary was the most constant and strongest rival of the expanding Ottoman Empire in Europe, and as such waged constant warfare in defence of its borders. Based on the extensive use of hitherto unexplored source material, Pálosfalvi not only offers a sound chronology of military events, but also a description of Hungarian military structures and their transformation under constant Ottoman pressure, as well as an analysis of the reasons that lay behind the military breakdown of Hungary in the third decade of the sixteenth century.

India in World Affairs : The Next Decade /
:
It is very evident that much of the scholarly work currently done in the field of defence, human resources, strategic and development studies converges on issues which impact international relations both in policy formulation and its implementation through bilateral or multilateral arrangements. Issues such as Energy, Environment, Disaster Management, Technology, Food, Agriculture, Poverty, Health, Refugees, Migration, Trade, Political Formations among others, are now increasingly influencing global decision-making. The Osmania Universiy Centre for International Programmes-OUCIP had organized an international conference to reflect on these issues. The present volume is an edited collection of the papers presented at the conference. Divided into nine parts, the essays deal with India's reach, role and responsibility as a soft power, her relations with immediate neighbours as well as the big powers in the decades ahead. It also includes essays on India's influence and contribution to regions like Africa, Middle East and Asia-Pacific as well as her ability to tackle the issues like Food, Water Energy, and so on in her interactions with world community. Analysing the multiple dimensions of India's foreign relations this collection will be invaluable for students and scholars of international relations and strategic studies.
