India's Asia-Pacific Engagement : Impulses and Imperatives /
:
India's Asia-Pacifc engagement, now in its third decade, has become an integral and irreversible plank of our foreign policy. This volume seeks to provide a new and unique perspective to the discourse on the evolving Look East Policy, updating, assessing, critically evaluating and analyzing developments beyond its first two decades and looking into the impulses and imperatives of India's growing and deepening engagement with the larger and rapidly changing geo-political space of the Asia-Pacifc region, which some now have begun to describe as the Indo-Pacifc. The essays in this compilation, written by former practitioners and some eminent experts, cover various aspects of our evolving engagement, going beyond the ASEAN geo-political space and the hitherto traditional areas of focus, importantly now covering strategic, security, political, economic, cultural and the diaspora aspects of our enlarged engagement, also suggesting a road map and specifc next steps for enduring partnership in the coming decade. The personal insights, analysis and candid perspectives offered by the contributors makes this volume unique and one of its kind.

Revisioning India's North-East through the Look East Policy /
:
North-East India is the epitome of diverse and rich cultural heritage of India and has the credibility of being the harbinger of economic progress through a comprehensive manoeuvring of cultural exchanges with South-East Asian neighbours. The inherent potential and the prospects are adequately nurtured and utilized by India's Look East Policy for a better future of the region. This book proposes to contextualize and inquire into the development of the North East of India with reference to the Look East policy. This volume is the outcome of more than eight years study on India's Look East Policy and its implications on the North-East region and is indispensable for scholars working on South-East Asia.

Faith and Ethnicity : Volume 2 /
:
In writing 'In Christ there is neither Jew nor Greek', the apostle Paul touched on a topic that still is hotly debated among Christians today: the relationship between faith and ethnicity. The Reformed Chuches, usually organised along regional or national lines, are no exception and wrestle world-wide with the issue. This volume offers more traditional Western, mostly European perspectives, exploring Western and Eastern European and North American contexts. Hermeneutics, church order and ecumenical aspects complement the theme. This and the previous volume of Studies in Reformed Theology contain contributions to the fourth international conference of the International Reformed Theological Institute (IRTI), held in Princeton, N.J., U.S.A. (2001), on the theme of Faith and Ethnicity.

Jerusalem: Points of Friction - And Beyond /
:
The material in this publication was compiled over an 18-month period and includes a variety of local, national and international issues and disaggregating Jerusalem's intricate problems. It offers meaningful models that even though they may not yield solutions acceptable to all parties in the Israeli - Palestine conflict, will at least clearly demarcate common ground and draw the 'red lines' that may not (yet) be crossed. The result is an enormously valuable resource that cannot fail to attract the attention of anyone concerned with the future of the Mideast region.

Interference in Sovereign Affairs and the Discursive Economy of International Law /
:
Interference in sovereign affairs is seemingly everywhere but nowhere at the same time. Whether it is pressure on or corruption of public officials, conditionality in development assistance, criticism of one's human rights record, psychological or propaganda operations, instrumentalization of diasporas, international organization supervision or meddling diplomats, the phenomenon is as amorphous as it is diffuse. But what if it was the lens that we use to capture interference that was the problem? How do the tools we use in international law blind us to the reality of certain phenomena? The urgency of understanding interference on its terms has never been greater, and it requires nothing less than a reimagining of the sort of discursive investments on which international law rests.

The anthology is an introduction to political cultures in the Islamic world and into relations between the West and Islam. It outlines similarities and differences in the understanding, perception and communication of basic politico-ideological issues like modernity democracy, human rights, violence, the emancipation of women, and economic development and social justice. It details its analyses in country studies on relations between the USA and Europe on the one side and Algeria, Iran, Egypt, Morocco, Turkey, Bosnia, Israel/Palestine, Iraq, Central Asia and Pakistan on the other side. The book, which was first published in Germany, was deemed to be "a convincing reply to Huntington" (Süddeutsche Zeitung). Mostly German scholars and scholars working in Germany present original insights into a complex matter that although at the heart of international and intercultural relations is often treated in simplistic ways.
