Containment via Engagement
Iran’s post-2021 Afghanistan policy embodies a strategic paradox: simultaneous construction of a 3 billion euro border wall and facilitation of $35 million Taliban investments in Chabahar Port, alongside 1.8 million deportations coexisting with $2.5 billion bilateral trade. Existing literature lacks integrative theoretical frameworks explaining how contradictory policy strands cohere, with analyses remaining domain-specific and missing critical 2…
Principled Pragmatism
How constitutionally constrained civilian powers sustain strategic agency while engaging non-recognized pariah regimes remains an unresolved theoretical problem in International Relations. Existing literature inadequately integrates civilian-power theory, hedging frameworks, and pariah-regime engagement into a unified model, leaving Japan’s post-2021 Afghanistan policy undertheorized. This study examines Japan’s principled pragmatism toward the A…

Since the Taliban’s return to power in August 2021, China’s engagement with Afghanistan has evolved rapidly, raising important questions about the nature and implications of this relationship in a post-Western context.

Specifically, it explores the alignm…

Consequently, Sri Lanka is currently expe…

India's Neighbourhood Vaccine Diplomacy During Covid-19 Pandemic
In recent years, India has established itself as the world's 'pharmacy hub', and this claim was proven once again when it delivered COVID-19 vaccines to its citizens, neighbouring nations and across the globe. Following the philosophy of humanitarianism through the principle of 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam', India has decided to provide the COVID-19 health assistance to its immediate neighbouring countries. India's immediate neighbourhood refers to the…
Covid-19 and Global Distributive Justice
The second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic had left heart-wrenching impacts on all facets of life in general and the availability, accessibility, and affordability of medicines and vaccines in particular. Rather, the world has been divided into two groups regarding access to medicine and vaccines as haves and have-nots. The rich countries had pre-ordered the vaccines of COVID-19 along with the holding of the same. The pandemic situation was further…

The Double Whammy of Pandemic and War
Higher education is considered an important tool for the overall development of any country, and it holds true in the context of Afghanistan as well. At the same time, a good eco-environment in terms of political will, leaders’ farsighted vision, a fair budget, good infrastructure, and a good teaching community are some of the basic requirements for higher education to move in the direction of new and higher horizons. However, due to the ongoing …
Trump’s strategy in South Asia
This article examines President Donald Trump's South Asia Strategy, which places Afghanistan in a broader regional context. During Bush and Obama’s administrations, the regional policy was Afghanistan–Pakistan (Af-Pak) centric, and while under Trump’s regime (2017–2021), Afghanistan, Pakistan and India seemed to be given more weight. The United States (US), a leading proponent of regional security in Afghanistan, has found itself in a difficult s…

Re-imagining the SCO’s Geopolitical Expansion
The SCO is one of the biggest geopolitical groupings in the world. It has provided a forum for its members, particularly, Russia and China, to cooperate on the set goals of the Eurasian re-integration. In contrast, SAARC cannot be termed as a successful organization, given the arch–rivalries between India and Pakistan. However, optimists believe that the geopolitical expansion, having India and Pakistan on board, the SCO would have the potential …
Covid-19 and Chinese Global Health Diplomacy
Health diplomacy has remained an important part of foreign policy of major countries to expand their geopolitical influence across the world. Given the outbreak of COVID-19, the inadequate healthcare systems even of the developed countries have been exposed. Although China was blamed for the origination of COVID-19, concomitantly, the same country had exploited the global health emergency by putting its global health diplomacy in practice as a so…
Punjab under the British Rule

Sino-Pakistan Friendship, Changing South Asian Geopolitics and India’s Post-Obama Options
