Preparation for competitive exams as a strategy to mitigate the risk of declassing among educated youth in North India
Fifa’s Future in a Changing International System
The Federation of International Football Associations (FIFA) has shown the most consistent ability to reinvent itself and to increase the commercial potential of the game. In doing so it has followed the fundamental principles of capitalism, using innovation and growth as the basis for success. This has led the sport to become the most popular in the world, with the men’s World Cup finals averaging over a billion viewers. It is not only the viewi…
Podcasting as a Critical Methodology
In an attempt to exceed the constraints of academic writing and dominant approaches to inquiry, we expand in this article on an emergent arts-based methodology that utilizes voice and orality: critical podcasting methodology (CPM). We first review the paradigm of arts-based research that grounds CPM. Next, we introduce podcasting as a form of critical research and CPM as one possibility for a radical form of inquiry and knowledge creation. Follow…
The nonwestern takeover of global sports
Discrimination, disadvantage and disempowerment during Covid-19
Our research demonstrates how an intrasectional lens can help better understand how different forms of mutually reinforcing inequities exist at all levels within the healthcare workforce and how these impact HCWs from certain backgrounds who face greater disadvantage, discrimination and disempowerment, particularly during times of crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic
Multilateralism and Soft Power Made-in-China
This article addresses the specificities of the new multilateralism made-in-China under Xi Jinping. We argue that China has been investing in a combination of Soft Power and Multilateralism to foster a friendly worldwide environment whilst promoting China’s geopolitical reemergence. Drawing on role theory, we assess whether there has been a shifting trend on China’s soft power and multilateralism, to cope both with international expectations on C…
Preparing for a two-front conflict
This article argues that while India is preparing for the contingency of a two-front war against China and Pakistan, its procurement and arms production policies make it problematic for the Indian Air Force (IAF) and Indian Navy (IN) to meet these challenges. IAF doctrine is not aligned to its current capabilities and is, therefore, largely speculative. Further, due to budgetary shortfalls in its modernization efforts, the IAF will find it diffic…

Cost‐related avoidance of oral health service utilization among lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals in Canada
CROHSA is elevated for bisexual individuals relative to heterosexual individuals. Targeted interventions should be explored to improve oral healthcare access among this population. Future research should assess the role of minority stress and social safety on oral health inequities among sexual minority groups
Techno-nationalism vs. techno globalization
Since independence the Indian government has pursued a state-driven approach to arms production that has led to lengthy delays, cost overruns, and not fulfilled the desired goal of autonomy in weapons production. At the same time, a weapons acquisition policy that is marked by lengthy negotiations and an emphasis on unrealistic technology transfers has led the Indian armed forces to be shortchanged in their attempts to build up a modern force str…
Political economy, globalisation, and transnational actors as themes in the Bond literature
Despite criticisms that are frequently levelled against the hugely popular James Bond books by Ian Fleming, accusing them of homophobia, misogyny and casual racism, Bond, argues this article, remains a global cultural icon and Fleming’s fictional work continues to remain relevant in the realm of contemporary international affairs. The article explores the question of how the emphasis in the Bond literature and movies on transnational actors, and …
Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on the Clinical Learning Environment
The clinical learning environment (CLE) encompasses the learner’s personal characteristics and experiences, social relationships, organizational culture, and the institution’s physical and virtual infrastructure. During the COVID-19 pandemic, all 4 of these parts of the CLE have undergone a massive and rapid disruption. Personal and social communications have been limited to virtual interactions or shifted to unfamiliar clinical spaces because of…
The middle power dilemma
This article makes the argument that India’s cricket authorities moved the sport away from being a semi-amateurish game to one which met the commercial criteria for a globalised sport. Further, while cricket was a game dominated by the Western nations, it was only after the game was taken over by India that it was opened up to a broader set of nations and not based on racial and cultural preferences. While the sport has been reformed, India has s…
When affirmative action is not enough
Purpose There is dearth of research pertaining to how persons with disability (PWDs) view their career and the issues they face in career development; past studies highlight either the organizational initiatives or individual factors in this regard. The present study bridges this gap by studying the PWDs' experiences and perceptions on challenges in their career development. Design/methodology/approach An exploratory study through interview of pr…
The fateful Indian recognition of West Germany, 1949
India’s recognition of West, but not East, Germany was the foundation of an inconsistent policy on Germany from India and many other non-aligned countries. It was the outcome of a lack of professionalism, indecisiveness, the pragmatic considerations of a junior Indian diplomat in Berlin, and the laconic approval of the anti-communist secretary-general of the Ministry of External Affairs, Girja Shankar Bajpai. Neither Prime Minister Jawaharlal Neh…

Indian is the New Black? The Rise of Indian-Americans on American Television
This article argues that the growing use of Indian-American characters in American television programming results from a combination of societal shifts in the United States as well as changes in the international system—specifically, the increasing ethnic diversity in America as well as the rise of non-western nations as important players in a globalized world that has led to a growing global market for American television programs. Further, the …

Doctor Who and Race
This article discusses how the issue of race is treated in the British television science fiction programme Doctor Who (DW) by looking at changes in the international system and the decline of Britain’s role as a global player within it, as well as significant internal changes within Britain that made the portrayal of race, and for that matter gender, more palatable to British audiences and television executives. Thus, as Britain’s role in the in…

The Globalization of Sports, the Rise of Non-Western Nations, and the Impact on International Sporting Events
International sports have been traditionally dominated by the Western nations that monopolized the decision-making process of various international sporting bodies, determined the rules of the game and decided on the venues, television schedules and formats that the games would take. This article argues that with the advent of globalization non-Western nations are increasingly asserting themselves in the decision making and economics of internati…
India and the IPL
This article examines why India has emerged as the preeminent nation in international cricket and how the Indian Premier League (IPL) is a major step in realigning the power structure in international sports. The article argues that India has been able to take the lessons of globalization (as they apply to sport) and use them to create a new national cricket league that has an international character. It goes on to argue that the success of the I…
US.India.China
With the rise of India and China to potential great power status, there is now talk of the United States, India and China being the three poles in the international system of 2050. This article argues that the three countries are on different power trajectories and that two of these trajectories—those of the United States and China—will lead to a strategic rivalry. On the other hand, India's power trajectory, while faced with conflict at the Sout…
The Globalization of Cricket
The article argues that international cricket has not followed the path of other transnational sporting events which, typically, are dominated by developed countries. It is a game which the non-Western countries have begun to dominate not just on the field but, more importantly, in shaping the economics and politics of the game. The article suggests that this change, that is atypical of international sport, has come about because of processes wit…

Indias Nuclear Security
The nuclear weapons and ballistic missile tests conducted by India and Pakistan in the late 1990s have substantially altered the security environment, both in the region and globally. Examining the complexities, controversies, and dynamics of this new strategic context, India's Nuclear Security explores India's motivations for becoming a nuclear weapons state, its proposed nuclear and missile force structure, the nuclear doctrine that the BJP-led…
India’s draft nuclear doctrine
As one of the new members of the nuclear club India has taken the next logical step and has adopted a draft nuclear doctrine. The doctrine calls for the development of a triad of nuclear forces and if built to its fullest extent would give the country a diversified and long-range nuclear force. What type of force structure does this doctrine envisage? To what extent will India be able to develop such a force? What are the implications for regiona…
