The Fate of Mankind Is Again Closely Intertwined with the Fate of Russia”
We have asked leading intellectuals from countries outside the Western community to share their thoughts
Asia's Troubled Water
Asia's water woes are worsening. Already the world's driest continent inper capita terms, Asia now faces a severe drought that has parched a vast region extending from southern Vietnam to central India. This has exacerbated political tensions, because it has highlighted the impact of China's dam-building policy on the environment and on water flows to the dozen countries located downstream
Water, Power, and Competition in Asia
At a time when Asia is at a defining moment in its history, water stress has emerged as one of its most serious challenges. Water shortages have not only stirred geopolitical tensions by intensifying competition over the resources of shared rivers and aquifers, but they also threaten Asia’s continued economic rise

Contemporary Southeast Asia (CSEA) is one of the ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute"s flagship publications. Now in its fourth decade of publication, CSEA has succeeded in building up an international reputation as one of Southeast Asia"s premier academic journals. The aim of the peer reviewed journal is to provide subscribers with up to date and in-depth analysis of critical trends and developments in Southeast Asia and the wider Asia-Pacific region.…
Asia's Worsening Water Crisis
Asia is drawing on tomorrow's water to meet today's needs, threatening the continent's economic and political rise and environmental sustainability
Indian Ocean maritime security
For a comprehensive and meaningful understanding, the maritime-related security challenges facing the Indian Ocean littoral states need to be looked at broadly. Non-traditional security issues – from energy security and climate security to transnational terrorism and environmental degradation – are as important as traditional maritime security issues such as freedom of navigation, security of sea-lanes, maritime boundary and domain security, prol…
Averting Asian Water Wars
As the most pressing resource, water holds the strategic key to peace, public health and prosperity. The battles of yesterday were fought over land. Those of today are over energy. But the battles of tomorrow will be over water. And nowhere else does that prospect look more real than in Asia
China-India Clash Over Chinese Claims to Tibetan Water
New Delhi - Sharpening Asian competition over energy resources, driven in part by high growth rates in gross domestic product and in part by mercantilist attempts to lock up supplies, has obscured another danger: Water shortages in much of Asia are beginning to threaten rapid economic modernization, prompting the building of upstream projects on international rivers. If water geopolitics were to spur interstate tensions through reduced water flow…

New Delhi's dilemma
In the near term, India will be affected by the reaction of other states, particularly China. Over time, as relations with the United States improve, India could benefit from defenses
India's Nuclear Planning, Force Structure, Doctrine and Arms Control Posture
India’s emergence as a declared nuclear weapons state (NWS) has only sharpened its challenges to build a minimal but credible nuclear deterrent. India can build only a very small deterrent force because its stockpile of weapons-grade plutonium and its ® nancial resources are limited. New Delhi will need to have a high level of con® dence in the reliability and survivability of its arsenal so that the smallness of the deterrent is not a handicap. …
After the tests
India's 1998 nuclear tests were only a first step in dealing with threats to its security. The country should aim for a small, affordable but survivable nuclear force, with a doctrine that eschews both a war-fighting approach and the course of recessed or non-weaponised deterrence advocated by the US. In contrast to deterrence relationships elsewhere, Indian doctrine has to deal with two linked nuclear adversaries, Pakistan and China. Its priorit…

South Asia's Passage to Nuclear Power
Nuclear terrorism
This paper seeks to answer the question: What should be done in South Asia in response to the dangers of nuclear blackmail and terrorism? The relevance of the recommendations of the Nuclear Control Institute's International Task Force on Prevention of Nuclear Terrorism is explored. The authors examine conventional terrorism in the context of increased nuclear activities and provide an overview of recent nuclear developments in the region. Policy …
