|
|
|
P.K. Ghosh
|
| 30 August 2010 |
| The November 2008 terrorist attacks on Mumbai?the commercial capital of an economically resurgent India?left a deep and indelible impact on the Indian security psyche. The attacks exposed the lackadaisical attitude of the Government, at both the Central and state level, towards coastal security and the sheer illpreparedness of the country to combat such terror threats from the seas. |

|
|
|
Manoj Kumar & Lydia Powell
|
| 20 August 2010 |
| The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and the Bhopal tragedy have brought back into focus the issue of industrial accidents, contractual liabilities and questions of operator liability. The Bhopal tragedy which is closer to Indian hearts has engaged the Indian Government and Courts for over twenty six years and yet a solution acceptable to victims and other stakeholders is proving to be elusive. Every step from the Government and the Courts has been welcomed only with exasperated cries of 'not enough', 'too little' and 'too late'. |

Wilson John and Kaustav Dhar Chakrabarti
|
| 23 September 2009 |
| The Paper makes a critical appraisal of India-Pakistan relations and explores their future trajectory in the aftermath of the Mumbai terrorist attack of November 2008. The rising tide of terrorism within Pakistan after 9/11 and the importance of South Asia to the United States made Pakistan selectively withdraw support to terrorist groups. This, in turn, helped India's efforts to initiate the Composite Dialogue in 2004. |

India and the Economic Meltdown: Challenges and Possible Responses
|
|
|
Samir Saran and Siba Prasad Tripathy
|
| 15 April 2009 |
| The financial crisis across the globe and the ensuing responses by nations and non-state actors has dominated both public consciousness and political debate in the recent past. The discussion on suitable stimulus packages, the causes for the financial disorder and future restructuring of the financial systems has often been dominated by the rhetoric of specific constituencies serving individual interests even as it loses sight of the substantive argument. In India too, the eagerness to commend our regulatory practices has tended to brush the larger debate on the actual economic fallout of the crisis under the carpet. |

India's Growing Energy Insecurity: Volatile crude prices and a tattered road map to reform
|
|
|
Sunjoy Joshi
|
| 13 February 2009 |
| Over the past few years, there is noticeable amongst India watchers an inescapable feeling of disappointment at what has been seen as a perceptible rolling back of many of the much vaunted reforms that had been the face of the country's efforts to integrate with world energy markets through the turn of the century. With an import dependence of over 70%, and increasing with each passing year, the petroleum sector had been the obvious choice to move on reforms. |
