The Report is the response to the national movement aimed at the investigation of the events of the Soviet people’s genocide during the WW2, initiated by the president V.V. Putin. The recognition of the legal status of the genocide changes the identity of the people involved in the events including their relatives and descendants. The national movement on genocide investigation entails a change of the national identity. The change in the people’s consciousness may include recognition of the presence of mass psychological trauma due to those events. The beginning of work of the investigative and judicial authorities in this area is forming a public call for psychology (psychologists and psychotherapists) to form a theoretical, conceptual, methodological and practical apparatus to be used in the therapy with the people who were the victims of the genocide of the Second World War.

Доклад является откликом на инициированное 20 ноября 2020 года президентом Путиным В.В. национальное движение по расследованию событий геноцида, которому подверглись советские граждане во время Второй мировой войны. Признание правового статуса событий геноцида влечет за собой изменение самосознания людей, причастных тем историческим событиям, а также их родственников и потомков. Национальное движение по расследованию событий геноцида влечет изменение национального самосознания людей. Изменение самосознания может включать признание наличия массовой психической травмы в связи с теми событиями, «травмы геноцида». С началом работы следственных и судебных органов в этом направлении закономерно формируется общественный запрос к психологии (психологам и психотерапевтам) на формирование теоретического, концептуального, методологического, практического аппарата для работы с людьми, пострадавшими от событий геноцида Второй мировой войны.

Our First Intercontinental Extraterritorial Congress "Planet of Psychotherapy 2022 – Children. Family. Society. Future" will go down in the history of our profession for many reasons. Firstly, we have been preparing it for eight years, initially as the IXth World Congress "Children, Society, the Future – the Planet of Psychotherapy". The Congress was planned for 2020. Due to the pandemic of the new coronavirus infection Covid-19, it was postponed for a year by the decision of the World Council for Psychotherapy. Then, when the program was already formed, it turned out that the congress would not be held in Russia, and we changed the very concept of the congress. Now our congress is intercontinental and extraterritorial. It is conducted online, although it may be partially tied to different organized audiences of professionals around the world. Family has been added to the theme of the congress. Previously, this topic was assumed and read between the lines. The participants of the World Congress had options to withdraw their presentations or participate in the congress in the new format.

Наш Первый межконтинентальный экстерриториальный конгресс «Планета психотерапии 2022: дети, семья, общество, будущее» войдет в историю нашей профессии по многим показателям. Первое – это то, что мы его готовим уже 8 лет. Сначала как IХ Всемирный конгресс «Дети, общество, будущее – Планета психотерапии». Конгресс планировался в 2020 году. Из-за пандемии новой коронавирусной инфекции Ковид-19 он был перенесен на год решением Всемирного Совета по психотерапии. Затем, когда программа была уже сформирована, выяснилось, что в России конгресс проводится не будет, и мы поменяли саму концепцию конгресса. Теперь наш конгресс межконтинентальный и экстерриториальный. Он проводится онлайн, хотя может быть частично привязан к разным организованным аудиториям профессионалов по всему миру. К теме конгресса добавлена семья. Раньше эта тема предполагалась и читалась между строк. Участники Всемирного конгресса могли снять свои доклады или участвовать в конгрессе в новом формате.

The “National Security Strategy of the Russian Federation” gives the following concept: “National security is a state of security of the personality, society and the state from internal and external threats”. If the concept of “external threats” is clear and obvious, then the concept of “internal threats” is still outside the serious scientific research. In this work, as “internal threats”, internal psychological causes (determinants, mechanisms) of the aggressiveness of a particular person are considered, motivating him to addictive behavior and pushing him into the ranks of criminal elements, drug addicts, alcoholics, recidivists, terrorists, etc. A new measured psychological indicator is proposed – the degree of emotional maturity. It is shown that the emotional immaturity of a person at an unconscious level, or rather, unconsciously, forces him to get on an aggressive path. The relevance and production of such a study of the psychological reasons for human aggressiveness in modern times is extremely high.

Дополненный и переработанный доклад на Секции «Геополитика и безопасность» Российской Академии Естественных Наук, опубликованный в Сборнике материалов научно-практической конференции, посвящённой 25- летию Секции « Геополитика и безопасность» РАЕН, Москва, 2 февраля, 2017 г., стр. 55-62. В «Стратегии национальной безопасности Российской Федерации» даётся следующее понятие: «Национальная безопасность – это состояние защищённости личности, общества и государства от внутренних и внешних угроз» / 1 /. Если понятие «внешние угрозы» является ясным и очевидным, то понятие «внутренние угрозы» до сих пор находится за пределами серьёзного научного исследования. В настоящей работе в качестве «внутренних угроз» рассматриваются внутренние психологические причины (детерминанты, механизмы) агрессивности конкретного человека, мотивирующие его на аддиктивное поведение и толкающие в ряды преступных элементов, наркоманов, алкоголиков, рецидивистов, террористов и др. Предложен новый измеряемый психологический показатель – степень эмоциональной зрелости. Показано, что эмоциональная незрелость человека на неосознаваемом уровне, а точнее – бессознательно, ВЫНУЖДАЕТ его вставать на агрессивный путь. Актуальность и постановка подобного исследования психологических причин агрессивности человека в новейшее время чрезвычайно высока.

The author describes the phenomenon of rhizome thinking as a consequence of the loss of identity. Valueoriented approach, a tool to help in gaining the integrity of the individual and understanding the highest moral values, and as a result, gaining support.

Увеличивающийся темп и объём информации требуют новых подходов к ее извлечению и переработке, что напрямую отражается на самом процессе мышления. В ответ на вызов времени происходит интеграция и трансформация различных форм мышления. От какой-то формы отказываются, какая-то трансформируется, а другие формы выходят на первый план. Реальность такова, что пришло время ризоматической логики (логики нелинейных связей). Ризоматическое мышление – это хаотичное, случайное, беспорядочное без какой – либо цели, мышление, новый тип выстраивания мыслительных процессов.

More than thirty years have passed since the adoption of the Strasbourg Declaration on Psychotherapy in 1991, during which significant changes took place in the field of professional psychotherapy. Even more grandiose changes took place in society, including such processes that most negatively affect the state of mental health and psychological well-being of the planet's population. In this regard, there is a need to approve a new Strategy and Declaration on the development of psychotherapy for the next decades.

Более тридцати лет прошло со времени принятия Страсбургской Декларации по Психотерапии 1991 года, в продолжении которых в сфере профессиональной психотерапии происходили существенные изменения. Еще более грандиозные изменения происходили в обществе, в том числе и такие процессы, которые самым негативным образом отражаются на состоянии психического здоровья и психологического благополучия населения планеты. В связи с этим назрела необходимость в утверждении новой Стратегии и Декларации по развитию психотерапии на перспективу ближайших десятилетий.

The report examines the relationship of a person with the outside world through the universal principle of regulation of any systems – feedback. A person in the process of life and interaction with the outside world constantly receives feedback from it and the quality of his/her life directly depends on how they interpret the incoming signals, that is, on their worldview and cognitive apparatus. Value-oriented approach is described as a platform for stability in a changing world.

Понятие обратной связи впервые возникло в естествознании в связи с анализом механизма управления как функциональной системы, родившейся в процессе эволюции и лежащей в основе процессов саморегуляции и саморазвития живой природы, общественных систем и их экономики, всей ноосферы, а также процессов познания. Обратная связь является основой саморегулирования в простых и сложных системах. Целесообразное поведение систем невозможно без обратной связи, без получения информации о степени приближения к поставленной цели. Чем сложнее организована система, тем большую роль играет обратная связь в ее взаимоуравновешивании со средой и поддержании внутренней структуры.

Modern researchers consider family resilience as the ability to cope with challenges of our time based on family resources. In a study involving a Russian sample of 274 people, 234 of them women and 40 men aged 17 to 65 years, conducted by an online questionnaire using a socio-biographical questionnaire and a Family Viability Assessment Scale (M.A. Odintsova, E.S. Gusarova), groups of study participants were identified based on the above they included in the questionnaire events that were considered as challenges to the viability of families (death of loved ones, unfavorable family relationships, many problems at the same time, i.e. global challenges, illnesses of loved ones, financial difficulties). The study showed that different challenges actualize different coping resources in families: the challenge of loss – flexibility of response; global challenges, and diseases – the spirituality of the family; material difficulties – the ability to discuss problems together. Different challenges affect family ties in different ways – people are more likely to move away when challenging relationships, connections remain the same when challenging material well-being, connections are strengthened when faced with loss, illness, global challenges. In relation to the practice of psychotherapy and counseling, the data obtained can be considered as a heuristic for finding resources to overcome family challenges and strengthen its viability.

Жизнеспособность семьи рассматривается современными исследователями как способность справляться с вызовами современности на основе семейных ресурсов. В исследовании с участием российской выборки численностью 274 человек, из них 234 – женщины и 40 мужчин в возрасте от 17 до 65 лет, проведенном методом онлайн-анкетирования с применением социо-биографической анкеты и Шкалы оценки жизнеспособности семьи (М.А. Одинцова, Е.С. Гусарова), были выделены группы участников исследования на основе названных ими в анкете событий, которые рассматривались как вызовы жизнеспособности семьям (смерть близких, неблагоприятные отношения в семье, множество проблем одновременно, т.е. глобальные вызовы, болезни близких, материальные трудности). Исследование показало, что разные вызовы актуализируют в семьях различные ресурсы совладания: вызов утраты – гибкость реагирования; глобальные вызовы и болезни – духовность семьи; материальные трудности – способность к совместному обсуждению проблем. Разные вызовы по-разному влияют на семейные связи – люди чаще отдаляются при вызовах отношениям, связи остаются прежними при вызовах материальному благополучию, связи укрепляются при вызовах утраты, болезнях, глобальных вызовах. По отношению к практике психотерапии и консультирования полученные данные можно рассматривать как эвристику для поиска ресурсов преодоления семьей вызовов и укрепления ее жизнеспособности.
Effect of Wall Shear Stress Gradient on Cells: Distribution of Deformation and Rotation
Authors: Yonezawa Hiroki , Hashimoto Shigehiro , Ono Ryuya
Published: August 2022

The effect of wall shear stress gradient on the deformation and rotation of each cell was investigated in vitro. To make a Couette-type of shear flow, the culture medium fluid was sandwiched with a constant gap between parallel walls: a lower stationary culture disk, and an upper rotating disk. Mouse fat precursor cells (3T3-L1) were used in this experiment. After cultivation without flow for 24 hours for adhesion of cells on the lower plate, a shear stress of less than 2 Pa was continuously applied to cells for 24 hours in the incubator. The behavior (deformation and major axis angle) of each single cell was tracked using time-lapse images observed by an inverted phase contrast microscope placed in the incubator. For wall shear stresses of less than 1.9 Pa, each cell exhibited active behavior: migration, deformation, and rotation. Whereas, the cells transformed into spheres when wall shear stress was higher than 1.9 Pa. In addition, the cells were observed to tilt against for a wall shear stress gradient approaching 50 Pa/m.

Design, as research process, management strategy or problem-solving methodology, is nowadays embedded on organizational structures, social demands and in human interaction and experiences. Involves digital & analogue technologies, requires immersion in complex problems and systems, since the stage of identifying problems, constraints and consequently needs and opportunities, with constant feedback that prompts multidisciplinary team's cooperation looping, from gathering data, to ideation, model and prototype, analysis, and synthesis, evaluate and test, experiment, thus presenting solutions. This cybernetic loop research process stimulates and feeds itself of feedbacks gained also from Inter and Transdisciplinary Communication, that stimulates new knowledge [7], in Research & Development + Innovation (R&D+I). This exploratory research approaches a Project-Based Methodology known as Design Thinking (DT), considering four models: Stanford d. School - 5 Step Design Thinking; Design Council - Double Diamond; IDEO Human-Centered Design, 3I's model (Inspiration, Ideation, Implementation); and Katja Tschimmel - Evolution 6*, and the Creative Techniques used in these methodologies. The present deductive research tries to explain correlations between its use in academia/business/social environments, as a transdisciplinary communication approach, to complex problem resolution, embedding Design Thinking methodologies in applied research. * "R&D is increasingly viewed as an input to innovation in the context of the overall efforts made in a knowledge-based global economy." pp.3 [9] "2.9. The term R&D covers three types of activity: basic research, applied research and experimental development. … Applied research is original investigation undertaken to acquire new knowledge.

This study compares students' evaluation of the effectiveness of four different class settings: face-to-face, synchronous online, asynchronous online, and hybrid. The results directly show us how students compare the four types of teaching and learning formats. Overall, students like the traditional face-to-face class the most and the asynchronous online class the least. Furthermore, students feel the hybrid class is most flexible while the face-to-face class has the least flexibility.
Smart Cities, Sustainability, and Quality of Life – A Comparison of Indexes and the Indicators They Include
Authors: Teixeira João Vitor Souza , Baracho Renata Maria Abrantes , Soergel Dagobert
Published: August 2022

This paper compiles and organizes indexes of (1) what makes a city smart, (2) Sustainability, and (3) Quality of Life and examines the application of these indexes in 67 smart city initiatives around the world. There is no consensus on what it means to be a Smart City, yet many cities are adopting Smart City initiatives. Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are the common denominator. But smart cities should evolve not only in technology but also in sustainable development (measured by UN goals and by indexes such as ISO 37.120:2014) that supports good quality of life (measured by an Urban Quality of Life (UQoL) index, such as the Human Development Index (HDI)). Measuring the smartness of a city requires a complex index. To determine the sub-indexes/themes and the indicators such an index should include, we analyzed seven indexes: two for sustainability, two for the quality of life, and three for smart cities and compared the sub-indexes/themes they include. Then we surveyed the websites of 67 smart city initiatives to see for each sub-index/theme how many smart city initiatives considered it. The themes that appeared in the highest number of indexes were also most frequent in smart city initiatives; cities tackle the same problems of society.

Europe in North Africa :
Authors: Behr Timo , Genugten Saskia van
Published: August 2022

European geopolitics cast a long shadow in North Africa. Due to its political, economic and strategic interests in a ‘stable’ neighbourhood, Europe has for long discouraged a process of uncontrolled political change in North African countries. However, in the spring of 2011, mass demonstrations by Arab youths broke the prevailing deadlock in the region and swept away a number of long standing Arab dictators. The question that remains unanswered is to what extent the ‘Arab Spring’ will affect geo-political relations among Europeans and Europe’s standing as a whole in the global pecking order. Will Europe’s belated support for the Arab revolutions renew its geopolitical importance and international mission, or will it precipitate its interminable decline? In this article, this question is being scrutinised by looking at the historical development of European relations with North Africa and how Europe is trying to preserve some of its former influence despite domestic challenges and competition from new, non-Western actors.
Fighting the Colonel :
Authors: Popovski Vesselin
Published: August 2022

This article begins by briefly examining the history of various sanctions on Libya during four decades of Colonel Muammar Qaddafi’s rule. The analysis then focuses on the UN Security Council resolutions 1970 and 1973, which imposed fresh sanctions and authorised the use of force to protect Libya’s civilian population. The article compares the text of the two resolutions and the different forms of support they gained. It also brings into consideration the concept of ’Responsibility to Protect’(R2P) and argues that R2P informs both of these two resolutions, and has been furthered by the international intervention in Libya. The article concludes with a discussion that addresses the difficult judgment whether the Security Council’s actions on Libya represent a triumph or a danger for the emerging norm of R2P.
Chinese Mechanisms for Resolving Investor-State Disputes

Published: August 2022

This article addresses China’s responsibility in resolving investor-State disputes as it is the second-largest FDI recipient after the United States. It questions why China thus far has rarely been involved as a respondent in international arbitration or any other dispute resolution mechanisms in relation to foreign investment. It attempts to examine China’s national system and practice for resolving disputes between foreign investors and the host State and investigates cultural and political reasons for why China has almost never been called to international arbitration to resolve disputes with foreign investors. Finally, it suggests some future directions of investment dispute settlement and calls for China taking more responsibilities in world affairs.
How to Run the World

The relationship between globalisation, sovereignty, power and security is now more inextricably linked in the normally competing scholarly literatures of International Relations than at any time in the recent past. Trends in contemporary world order can only be understood by an examination of the changing nature of the relationship between sovereignty and security under conditions of economic globalisation. The context in which such a sweeping statement can be made is, of course, the world since 9/11. This article presents paradoxes of global interdependence to argue that the present world order has already been broken for years and that globalisation has led us into an even more chaotic era, in which the leading world powers and institutions only pretend they can cope. Instead of working through interdependence, the world is becoming increasingly divided through different power centres like the US, Europe and China. Rather than offering one-off solutions and grand-bargains for the inequalities of power in the globalised world, this essay prescribes the need to improve global diplomatic endeavours as nations, corporations, or faiths can only learn to respect one another’s power and values by sharing and negotiating knowledge.

It has an optimistic outlook on the relationship.
China-India Collaboration on Global Economic Issues :
Authors: Palit Amitendu
Published: August 2022

During the last decade, China and India along with other emerging market economies have repeatedly assumed identical postures in international negotiations on major economic issues like trade and climate change. This paper reviews the reasons behind such posturing. Arguing that similar domestic concerns have led to common negotiating agendas, the paper interprets the Sino-Indian collaboration as an example of contemporary South-South cooperation between emerging market economies. While the collaboration is expected to continue in the foreseeable future, the paper warns against possible cracks surfacing within the South from the increasing economic gap between China and India and other developing countries, and distorted domestic perceptions on trade and climate preventing both countries from being more flexible in global negotiations. _____________________________
Sino-Indian Relations :
Authors: Das Rup Narayan
Published: August 2022

This article undertakes a historical tour d’horizon of relations between China and India from ancient to contemporary times. It provides a factual narrative of the journey that these two Asian civilisations and nation-states have taken over millennia and focuses on cultural as well as political and economic factors which have helped manage serious problems and crises. The author presents a hopeful picture of present-day ties between the two Asian giants and expresses guarded optimism about the ability of both sides to handle the pressures of growing competition in the future.
India-Myanmar Relations :
Authors: Routray Bibhu Prasad
Published: August 2022

The article is an analysis of India-Myanmar foreign relations which are marked by both paranoia and bonhomie. Myanmar is strategically important for India, especially in achieving its objective of a Look-East Policy. India has to maintain a cordial relationship with Myanmar’s non-democratic military junta to extend its influence in Southeast Asia and due to internal security concerns of its north-eastern states which are under continuous threat from various insurgent groups. This article discusses the pragmatic shift of India’s stand on Myanmar where the growing presence of China in Myanmar and India’s quest for energy are the major drivers. In economic terms, China is a major investor in Myanmar and its military relations with Myanmar are causes for concern in India. The article also discusses concerns raised about India’s Myanmar policy, keeping in view widespread scepticism about its military junta.
Afghanistan on the Brink :
Authors: Sahgal Arun
Published: August 2022

The article is a comprehensive analysis on the domestic as well as regional status of Afghanistan after the impending US withdrawal of troops in the next two years. The analysis is built on various possible scenarios which may change a political course in the country and how the regional powers play their parts in stabilising Afghanistan. The article discusses the ground situation in Afghanistan – how the ISAF and ANA (Afghan National Army) are coordinating in counter-insurgency operations and how far the ANA is prepared to tackle the situation after withdrawal of US troops. The major issue discussed is the resurgence of Taliban as it is still not defeated. The other major concern is Pakistan’s growing salience and posturing for strategic depth. What would be the Pakistan’s role in stabilising Afghanistan where it has to tackle the Afghan Taliban as it battles Tehreek-i- Taliban Pakistan (TTP) at home? The article also discusses the role of regional powers after US withdrawal and analyse various outcomes that may lead to maintenance of status-quo.
Geopolitical Games and Malaysian Mediation in the Philippines
Authors: Mastura Ishak
Published: August 2022

This article assesses the complex strategic environment prevailing in East and Southeast Asia, where a “vacuum war” may be underway between China and the United States, with the southern Philippines as the bone of contention. The author argues that Malaysia is a keystone player in the peace process in Mindanao region of the Philippines and that it has a convergence of interests with the US. Malaysia’s involvement as a peace mediator between the Philippine government and the Moro Islamic rebel movement is driven by Kuala Lumpur’s own territorial agenda and is not necessarily in alignment with the aims of the Philippines itself. The article delves into the various geopolitical calculations of major players in the Philippine conflict and demonstrates how peacemaking diplomacy can open doors for strategic domination by great powers
Is a Central Asian Spring Likely?
Authors: Atal Subodh
Published: August 2022

Like Middle East, the five ‘stans’ of the Central Asian region have repressive regimes, poor governance, ethnically fragmented populations, income inequality and a lack of opportunity. This, when combined with the past unrest including Islamic fundamentalism and vast energy resources in some of the regions, poses the question of whether there can be a “Central Asian Spring” with mass anti-government revolts and overthrows. This article examines the question via a review of these countries’ recent histories and current situations – case by case – along with an analysis of the regional security architecture. It comes to the conclusion that such an outcome is unlikely in the current context.
Section II :
Authors: Hashim Nadra Osman
Published: August 2022

The articles in this section of the inaugural edition of JJIA deal with Africa and reflect two basic themes. The first concerns the West’s influence in, and reaction to, socio-economic trends in Africa. The second theme concerns African state crisis, or failure, and imperative to establish rule of law. Horace Campbell issues a call to scholar-activists to reconsider the development project in Africa. In this regard,Campbell lends his stature to a growing number who assert, where the World Bank development policies are concerned,‘Fifty Years is Enough!’ Like the two hundred plus grassroot organisations that comprise the ‘Enough’ coalition, Professor Campbell takes issue with the paradox of Western powers which support ‘development’ policies that have not helped Africa ‘prosper.’ This includes policies which seem ambivalent to predatory lending practices, sustain resources wars, while failing to promote the kind of indigenous leadership which can address famine and internecine strife.
The Making of Bangladesh-China Relations
Authors: Ranjan Amit
Published: August 2022

China’s aid and assistance policy has been focused on developing new production centres which can contribute to its manufacturing base. Further, it has been the endeavour of China to engage the south Asian countries so that it can reach out to the Indian Ocean region as well as explore political and economic synergies with the smaller countries of South Asia. China has espoused for connecting its southern provinces with South Asian countries through initiatives such as BCIM economic corridor while at the same time developing the port and road infrastructure of the lest developed nations. This would help China to promote trade and investment in the South Asian region as well as explore economies of scale through engaging the resources and labour of the low costs production centres. Under this pursuit, China has started engaging Bangladesh through political interactions, defence cooperation and engaging the country through economic and investment initiatives. For a country like Bangladesh which has been largely dependent on its select exports and remittances from its expatriate labour it needs to be seen how better relations with China would define its geo-political importance in the South Asian region. This paper explores the dynamics of the relationship and explores future potential of the relationship.
China’s Planning on Border Infrastructure
Authors: Das Bijoy
Published: August 2022

Rapid development of infrastructure along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) between India and China, as well as within the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) plays a decisive role in the strategic calculus of India. Despite numerous rounds of talks between India and China under the Special Representative(SR) mechanism, little concrete progress has been achieved in the direction of settlement of the boundaries. However, in terms of confidence building mechanisms much has been achieved including the 1996 CBM which promises peace along the border between these two important Asian neighbours. Unfriendly incidents like face-offs between the border forces and armies, allegations of border intrusions, and gradual build up of military on both sides of the border region suggest that the possibility of military confrontation is still alive between these two close neighbours. However, given the institutional frameworks which have been built overtime, the military confrontation has been avoided. Reports of China’s rapid infrastructure development in TAR in general and its border regions contiguous to South Asia in particular, compel a country like India try to understand China’s objectives for doing so. The more recent standoffs in Depsang in 2015 and subsequently at Doklam in 2017 are testimony to China’s increasing confidence in dealing with the border issues through show of power and deployment of armed personnel on ground. This article takes an objective assessment of the infrastructure that China has developed in the Tibet region and how it is meant to give strategic advantage to China.

Japan-India relations have always been a topic close to a number of academicians for a number of reasons. However, comprehensive literature on the bilateral relations remains scattered in book chapters and international journals. A comprehensive study encompassing all the aspects of IndiaJapan relations was needed at one place in the form of a book to give a clear picture about the multi-faceted aspects of the much talked about bilateral relations to readers. The book authored by Shamshad Khan has attempted to give a holistic view of these bilateral relations. The title of the book itself is explanatory and one can have a basic knowledge of everything starting from religion to more contemporary foreign policy and strategic issues. The book is divided into eight chapters, starting from chapter on Buddhism to the last concluding chapter which does provide some policy suggestions.
Indian Strategic Thinking towards Israel
Authors: Gupta Anoop Kumar
Published: August 2022

Indian strategic thinking towards Israel is not monolithic. It is diverse and plural. There have been many voices in India towards Zionism and Israel. Questions related to Palestine, Zionism and Israel have been discussed in detail in India since the beginning of the twentieth century. Mahatma Gandhi was against Zionism in general and its methods particularly. Jawaharlal Nehru was also against Zionism but seemed ambiguous on the question of Israel which made him hesitant in engaging the Jewish state. Indian Left has demonstrated very critical approach towards Zionism and Israel. Hindu nationalist Vinayak Damodar Savarkar was sympathetic of the Zionist project and was supportive of the movement to establish a national home for the Jews. Political realists like J. N. Dixit and Brijesh Mishra and conservative strategist like Bharat Karnard in India were in favour of Israel and advocated mutually beneficial bilateral strategic cooperation between both the countries. Contemporary Indian debate on Israel is still polarised though the dominant view is supportive of Israel.
Chinese Military Adventurism and Assertive Behaviour
Authors: Arjun
Published: August 2022

China’s expansionist vision has led to the violation of its neighbouring countries’ territories, antagonising many Indo-Pacific member states. Beijing’s resolution to unilaterally change the physical status quo in the South China Sea (SCS), and in the Himalayan plains has resulted in military stand-offs and clashes, while exacerbating China’s bilateral relations. China’s belligerent adventurism in the SCS has triggered several flashpoints and consequently, tensions have escalated in the region. China’s highhandedness as well as aggressive posturing in the Galwan Valley in Ladakh has led to the culmination of one of the biggest bloody military clashes between India and China since 1962. India has responded to China’s belligerence in a befitting manner that has rattled its adversary by using various tools of statecraft to stage its strong displeasure and signalled that it will no longer cow down to any sort of pressure.
