BEYOND SACRED AND SECULAR: RELIGION AS STRATEGIC GRAMMAR IN SOUTHEAST ASIAN POLITICS

Why do religions that look so alike produce such different political outcomes across Southeast Asia? This paper argues that religion is never a fixed force, it is a “strategic grammar”: a shared vocabulary of belonging, legitimacy and threat that leaders draw on selectively, shaped by history, institutions and regional norms. The same tradition can justify exclusion in one state and negotiation in another, revealing religion not as destiny, but as a language leaders learn to speak differently.

A GEOPOLITICAL AND STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF THE IRAN–ISRAEL–UNITED STATES CONFLICT AND ITS IMPACT ON INDIA’S ENERGY SECURITY

This paper examines the causal architecture of the ongoing West Asia conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran, and its cascading effects on global energy markets and India’s energy security. With crude oil import dependency reaching nearly 89 percent in FY 2023–24, India remains acutely vulnerable to disruptions along the Strait of Hormuz. The paper argues that the resulting LPG supply shock stems from calculated escalation rooted in four interlocking causes: Iran’s contested nuclear ambitions, the collapse of the JCPOA, militarization dynamics seen in the Twelve-Day War, and the theoretical relationship between petrostates and militarized interstate disputes — situating India’s predicament within a condition of “dual energy dependency.”

India’s Export Potential in a Post-China Global Economy

This paper examines India’s export potential in the context of the changing global trade landscape shaped by the “China Plus One” strategy and global supply chain diversification. It aims to evaluate whether India possesses the structural, institutional, and policy capacity to emerge as a competitive manufacturing alternative to China by analysing export trends, policy initiatives, logistics, and integration into global value chains. Using a mixed-method approach and a comparative case study of Vietnam, the study finds that while India has made sector-specific gains, particularly in electronics and pharmaceuticals, persistent structural constraints continue to limit broad-based manufacturing competitiveness and export-led growth.

The Complex Relationship Between the People’s Republic of China and the United States of America: Economic Political and Strategic Implications for India

The relationship between the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the United States of America (USA) has been intricate and often contentious since the PRC’s establishment in 1949. Following the normalization of relations in the 1970s, this bilateral relationship has been characterized by disputes over Taiwan’s political status, territorial conflicts in the South China Sea, and human rights issues concerning the Uyghurs in Xinjiang. Despite these tensions, the two nations are deeply economically intertwined, accounting for over 44% of global nominal GDP. China holds a significant portion of US Treasury securities, highlighting their financial interdependence. The 2007-2008 financial crisis led to concerns in China regarding US economic volatility, prompting a reevaluation of their investment strategies. As both nations continue to assert their global influence, the dynamic between cooperation and competition will shape international relations in the coming years. Understanding this relationship is crucial for anticipating future geopolitical developments.
