| Summary/Abstract |
Understanding Comparative Politics: Then & Now is a unique text that critically evaluates contemporary and historical methodologies in comparative politics. Comparative politics has evolved from a state-centric, descriptive analysis to a more theoretically diverse, methodologically sophisticated, and globally oriented field, enriching our understanding of political phenomena in an interconnected world. The present academic endeavour is a succinct overview of various modern methodologies employed in the field of Comparative Politics, the evolving nature of Comparative Politics, debates over the nature of the state, perspectives of state, democratic and authoritarian regimes, globalization, and its impact on the sovereignty of state, analysis of constitution and constitutionalism, party and electoral systems and the concept of Consociationalism. It provides a comprehensive understanding of political trends, concepts, and exposure to politics across various nations thereby introducing students to key debates in the field. It examines how interests, identities, and institutions shape nation’s politics and offers a comprehensive understanding of complex global politics in an easy-to-follow style. The objective is not to establish a novel paradigm in comparative politics, but rather to provide direction for a developing analytical framework that investigates politics within diverse national, political, social, and cultural context. The book is an accessible resource for students and those interested in gaining core knowledge of political science in today’s changing global order.

| Summary/Abstract |
This powerful academic monograph offers a deep, feminist exploration of sex-selective abortion (SSA) in India, situating the issue within its broader socio-political, historical, and cultural frameworks. Drawing from qualitative research and feminist methodologies, author Josephine Kipgen utilizes in-depth interviews with healthcare professionals and service providers in New Delhi alongside media content analysis to deliver a layered and grounded study of SSA.
The book tackles the structural forces behind SSA, such as entrenched gender regimes, state policies, and societal norms, while also re-examining women’s agency in SSA decisions—challenging the dominant narratives that often portray women as passive victims. By engaging with feminist sociological theory, Kipgen moves beyond normative assumptions and brings forward the lived realities and complex choices faced by women in a deeply gendered society.
A distinctive feature of this work is its analysis of SSA representation in Indian national newspapers, shedding light on how media discourse shapes public understanding and policy approaches. The combination of empirical fieldwork and media analysis makes this volume a critical resource for researchers, students, and advocates working in the fields of reproductive rights, gender justice, feminist studies, and SRHR (Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights).
This book will resonate with scholars across social sciences and humanities, and is essential reading for anyone interested in the intersection of feminist theory, reproductive politics, and media discourse in the Global South.

Divided into forty chapters under eleven parts, the book deals with the core concepts and debates in political theory, and focuses on the state-society interactions.

| Summary/Abstract |
Thrust onto the public stage at fifteen years old after the Taliban's brutal attack on her life, Malala quickly became an international icon known for bravery and resilience. But away from the cameras and crowds, she spent years struggling to find her place in an unfamiliar world. Now, for the first time ever, Malala takes readers beyond the headlines in Finding My Way - a vulnerable, surprising memoir that buzzes with authenticity, sharp humour and tenderness.
Finding My Way is a story of friendship and first love, of anxiety and self-discovery, of trying to stay true to yourself when everyone wants to tell you who you are. In it, Malala traces her path from high school loner to reckless college student to a young woman at peace with her past. Through candid, often messy moments like nearly failing exams, getting ghosted and meeting the love of her life, Malala reminds us that real role models aren't perfect - they're human.
In this astonishing memoir, Malala reintroduces herself to the world, sharing how she navigated life as someone whose darkest moments threatened to define her - while seeking the freedom to find out who she truly is. Finding My Way is an intimate look at the life of a young woman taking charge of her destiny - and a deeply personal testament to the strength it takes to be unapologetically yourself.

| Summary/Abstract |
In The 21St Century, Economic Sanctions Have Become A Widely Used Tool To Control Geopolitics, With The United States Being The Largest User Of Sanctions Globally, Followed By The European Union. Yet, Mounting Evidence Shows That These Measures Often Fall Short Of Achieving Their Intended Diplomatic Outcomes. While Sanctions Are Meant To Pressure Governments By Targeting Their Economies, The Actual Impact Tends To Be Slow, Complex, And Frequently Ineffective. In The Great Sanctions Hack, Urjit Patel, Former Governor Of The Reserve Bank Of India, Who Now Serves As Chairman Of The National Institute Of Public Finance And Policy, Evaluates Why The Concept Of Sanctions Needs A Major Overhaul. Their Broader Effects On Global Markets And Unintended Consequences For Third Parties Must Be Considered. Economic Damage Unfolds Gradually, Not Instantly, And Should Be Tracked In More Detailed Stages. Moreover, The Real Cost To Individuals, Businesses, And Global Stability Needs Clearer And More Transparent Measurement. Concerns Are Also Rising About The Role Of International Institutions That Often Fail To Fairly Assess The Consequences Of Sanctions. This Raises Questions About Their Effectiveness In Guiding International Economic Policy. As Global Uncertainty Grows, A More Thoughtful, Data-Driven, And Transparent Approach To Sanctions Is Urgently Needed.

| Summary/Abstract |
A dismembered corpse is discovered in the vault of a silver shop. The police initially believe it to be that of a convicted armed robber - but not everyone agrees with that theory. One of them is Decima Mullins, who calls on the help of private detective Cormoran Strike as she's certain the body in the silver vault was that of her boyfriend - the father of her newborn baby - who suddenly and mysteriously disappeared.
The more Strike and his business partner Robin Ellacott delve into the case, the more labyrinthine it gets. The silver shop is no ordinary one: it's located beside Freemasons' Hall and specialises in Masonic silverware. And in addition to the armed robber and Decima's boyfriend, it becomes clear that there are other missing men who could fit the profile of the body in the vault.
As the case becomes ever more complicated and dangerous, Strike faces another quandary. Robin seems increasingly committed to her boyfriend, policeman Ryan Murphy, but the impulse to declare his own feelings for her is becoming stronger than ever.

| Summary/Abstract |
In 1940s India, revolutionary and nationalistic sentiments surged against colonial subjecthood and imperial war. Two-and-a-half million men from undivided India served the British during the Second World War, while 3 million civilians were killed by the war-induced Bengal Famine, and Indian National Army soldiers fought against the British for Indian independence. This captivating new history shines a spotlight on emotions as a way of unearthing these troubled and contested experiences, exposing the personal as political.
Diya Gupta draws upon photographs, letters, memoirs, novels, poetry and philosophical essays in both English and Bengali languages to weave a compelling tapestry of emotions felt by Indians in service and at home during the war. She brings to life an unknown sepoy in the Middle East yearning for home, and anti-fascist activist Tara Ali Baig; a disillusioned doctor on the Burma frontline, and Sukanta Bhattacharyas modernist poetry of hunger; Mulk Raj Anands revolutionary home front, and Rabindranath Tagores critique of civilization.
This vivid book recovers a truly global history of the Second World War, revealing the crucial importance of cultural approaches in challenging a traditional focus on the wartime experiences of European populations. Seen through Indian eyes, this conflict is no longer the 'good war.

| Summary/Abstract |
The most explosive insider account of Pakistani politics and its deep state. Asif Ali Zardari has the distinction of being the first President in Pakistan’s tumultuous history to complete a full five-year term. He was the man who defied all odds—a political survivor rising from obscurity to become Pakistan’s most enigmatic and possibly most controversial President. While many predicted that the party founded by his father-in-law would factionalize if not fade away after the assassination of his wife, Benazir Bhutto, Zardari took the reins of the party at its most difficult time, united it, and went on to become the President of Pakistan twice. But what secrets lay behind Asif Ali Zardari’s tumultuous rule? In this explosive memoir, The Zardari Presidency: Now It Must Be Told, Farhatullah Babar, seasoned insider and close aide to Zardari, recounts the high-stakes drama, clandestine power struggles and seismic events that shaped a nation during his presidency from 2008 to 2013. From the corridors of the presidency to the stormy halls of Parliament, Babar offers an unparalleled view of Zardari’s battles with Pakistan’s entrenched deep state, the judiciary and even his own allies. Follow the fallout of the Osama bin Laden raid and the relentless manoeuvring that kept democracy afloat in a sea of conspiracies. But this is not a tale of unblemished heroism. Babar pulls no punches, exploring moments of paradox during Zardari's presidency and his controversial alliances. With personal anecdotes, untold stories and a front-row seat to history, this memoir unveils the tectonic shifts that defined a presidency and a nation. Unmasking Pakistan’s Most Controversial Presidency – From the Insider’s Room Step inside the corridors of power during one of Pakistan’s most tumultuous eras. As presidential spokesperson, Farhatullah Babar reveals the raw, unfiltered truth behind the Zardari presidency (2008–2013)—a period marked by covert operations, judicial confrontations, military intimidation and landmark reforms. What Secrets Will You Uncover? • Behind Closed Doors: Relive the night when the 111 Brigade stormed the Presidency to send a chilling message to Zardari. • Deep State vs. Democracy: Witness the battle between civilian rule and Pakistan’s entrenched military and judicial forces. • Explosive Scandals: Go beyond headlines—Memogate, the Osama bin Laden raid, and Zardari’s vilification for OBL’s presence in Abbottabad. • Historic Triumphs: Discover how Zardari championed the 18th Constitutional Amendment, decentralizing presidential powers amidst chaos. Why This Memoir Shakes the Foundations of Pakistani Politics ‘Unputdownable… A captivating account of Zardari’s paradoxes and the troops thudding in the Presidency at night.’ — Afrasiab Khattak Farhatullah Babar brings readers face to face with: • Unthinkable Resilience: Rising from the ashes of Benazir Bhutto’s assassination to become the first civilian president to complete a full term. • Dangerous Pragmatism: Navigating hybrid rule, building uneasy alliances and playing a highstakes game with the deep state. • A Human Paradox: Behind the calculated leader is a grieving father and a loyal friend— shared through never-before-told stories. For Readers of Politics, Power and Pakistani History This is not a glorified account. It’s a rare look at how Asif Ali Zardari: • Turned “Democracy is the best revenge” into a survival strategy. • Manoeuvred between Washington, GHQ and Parliament. • Let pragmatism win—but rewrote the architecture of Pakistani power. Dare to understand the man who defied generals, judges and global suspicion. Order your copy of this explosive political memoir now.

| Summary/Abstract |
Global geopolitics has always revolved around two core principles: access and control. Institutions like the UN, IMF, and World Bank, or alternative blocs such as the SCO and BRICS, even the persistent narrative of West versus the rest, are all different expressions of the same fundamental struggle. Beneath the structures and alliances lie the ambition of competing powers to assert supremacy. This is the Greater Game. We’ve long been led to believe that there was only one Great Game: the storied Anglo–Russian rivalry that unfolded across Asia. We’ve been told it was exceptional, and that it has ended. Contours of the Greater Game challenges that narrative. It argues that the label ‘great’ not only romanticized the conflict but also diverted our attention from other geopolitical rivalries of equal or even greater consequence that have emerged in its wake. As India steps onto the ‘Grand Chessboard’ of global politics, the book seeks to unpack the deeper forces shaping this moment. It begins by examining the minds and strategic thinkings of those who first framed the idea of access: the drive to reach, influence, and exploit regions of economic or strategic value. It then turns to the mechanisms of control: how practices like religion, democracy, and globalization have been deployed to maintain dominance once access is secured. The book also explores the various regional and global orders that have arisen under these dynamics, revealing how power is structured and reshaped over time. Ultimately, it looks ahead—at India’s positioning within this complex and evolving web of global geopolitics. What role can, or should, India play in this renewed contest for influence and control? To grasp the present and anticipate the future, readers must understand the origins and mechanics of the Greater Game. Only those who know the game can hope to shape its outcome. Access and control are the centrifugal and centripetal forces, respectively, that drive global power struggles. Whether through global institutions or rival coalitions, nations pursue influence under evolving banners. Contours of the Greater Game dismantles the myth that geopolitical rivalry ended with the famed Anglo–Russian standoff. It argues, instead, that newer contests—often overlooked—have taken its place. As India asserts itself on the world stage, the book delves into the historical logic of expansion and the instruments—ideology, governance, and global systems—used to entrench control. It asks how India might engage with this intricate geopolitical contest, and whether understanding the game offers a path to shaping it.

| Summary/Abstract |
A sense of uncertainty has clearly gripped the world as six transformative global transitions—ranging from geopolitical and geographical to geoeconomic and technological—unfold all at once. Policymakers are scrambling to make sense of these transitions even as people lurch to extremes in these times of insecurity laced with rising inequity. To make matters more complicated, today’s certitudes can evaporate by tomorrow—for countries, companies and citizens alike. ‘Chaos, contestation, and constant recalibration’ will, therefore, be with us for a while yet.
Where does that leave over 800 million young Indians with their burgeoning aspirations? In Everything All At Once: India and the Six Simultaneous Global Transitions, Rajiv Kumar and Ishan Joshi suggest how India’s national goals could be defined and lay out the difficult but inescapable steps which will be required to achieve them. New Delhi has a historic opportunity to shape the ongoing transitions to its advantage. But the challenges are massive. Business-as-usual just won’t do if we want to see India as Viksit Bharat in the next 25 years.
An innovative and flexible policy framework has to be the sine qua non going forward. Forging a ‘Coalition of the Willing’ to deal with the six simultaneous transitions facing the Global South is critical. Its components would include—but not be limited to—urgently tackling the looming climate catastrophe; adapting frontier technologies including AI to our advantage; and ensuring our strategic autonomy to deal with the passing of Pax Americana and the inexorable Rise of China.
Everything All At Once: India and the Six Simultaneous Global Transitions is essential reading for anyone drawn to the future that’s quietly stepping into the present.

| Summary/Abstract |
As part of a sweeping series on the origins and relentless spread of Abrahamic monotheism, this riveting first volume begins by illuminating ancient Israel’s embrace of one God and concludes with the Christianization of the Roman Empire. Delving into the roots of Judaism and the vibrant Greco-Roman world, the book vividly contextualizes Jesus’s life within first-century Judea under Roman rule. It explores how his crucifixion and the enigmatic resurrection experience inspired his apostles to transform a modest, unorthodox Jewish messianic sect into a global religion with an insatiable drive for converts. With meticulous detail, it traces the evolution of Christian theology, its stance towards pagan traditions, and its reception in a polytheistic world. The narrative then turns to Christianity, now wielding imperial power as the state sponsored religion, ruthlessly dismantling and erasing rival faiths, leaving behind shattered temples and silenced gods. From chronicling the defiance of the last pagan emperor, Julian, to detailing Christian mobs’ destruction of sacred sites across the empire, the book stands as both a tribute to the vanquished polytheistic religions and a reflection on how Christian ideas continue to shape modern ideologies, including Islam, communism, secularism, revolutionary thought, and social justice. A poignant homage to fallen faiths and a stark warning for Asia’s last surviving polytheistic traditions, this is a tale of the most influential and irreversible transformation in world history.

Within the hallowed corridors of Aligarh Muslim University, where time and memory converge, echoes of history are informed by whispers of palace intrigue. This studied exploration of the venerable institution walks the precipice between ambition and necessity. What unfolds is a gripping saga—a clash of personal and political ambitions, all exacting a toll on the very fabric of the university. Originally conceived as a beacon of enlightenment and progress for India’s Muslim populace during the tumultuous pre-independence era, AMU swiftly ascended to prominence as an intellectual and cultural epicentre. Yet, like a fragile tapestry, it struggled to preserve the ideals that once ignited its creation. Anil Maheshwari and Arjun Maheshwari, with the precision of a surgeon’s scalpel, peel back the layers of time, revealing how AMU metamorphosed from a catalyst for Muslim renaissance into a battleground where ambitions clashed with the institution’s soul.

| Summary/Abstract |
2014: A great poem is read aloud and never heard again. For generations, people speculate about its message, but no copy has yet been found.
2119: The lowlands of the UK have been submerged by rising seas. Those who survive are haunted by the richness of the world that has been lost.
Tom Metcalfe, a scholar at the University of the South Downs, part of Britain's remaining archipelagos, pores over the archives of the early twenty-first century, captivated by the freedoms and possibilities of human life at its zenith.
When he stumbles across a clue that may lead to the great lost poem, revelations of entangled love and a brutal crime emerge, destroying his assumptions about a story he thought he knew intimately.
A quest, a literary thriller and a love story, What We Can Know is a masterpiece that reclaims the present from our sense of looming catastrophe, and imagines a future world where all is not quite lost.
