This book addresses core issues and problems that we have been facing in the post-Cold War era. Core issues such as globalisation, democratisation, regionalisation, ethno-political conflicts, cultural revivalism, and strategic realignments between nations are at the centre stage of think-tanks in leading metros in the world as well as uppermost in debates and discussion among academia and intellectuals. In this volume specialists from diverse disciplinary backgrounds have made a modest attempt to examine above mentioned issues including critical problems in a much wider contexts and perspectives to show how international politics and relations are likely to face gargantuan challenges in coming years while also indicating the futility of old paradigms and models that still remain dominant in the teaching courses as well as in research field in social sciences. This volume should prove a refreshing experience for all those who are concerned with inevitable changes that have taken place in the international system in last couple of years.
