Putin’s Russia in the Making of a New International Order
With this white paper, the author has tried to develop an adequate understanding of Russia’s recent foreign policy shifts under the auspices of President Vladimir Putin and explain why these have been universally misunderstood within the international relations (IR) community at large. Its fundamental thesis is that the hegemonic status of realism in IR misconstrues Russia’s foreign policy actions as simply a manifestation of a narrow, ‘Hobbesian’ drive for state power within the international order. What is subsequently argued is that to fully grasp Russia’s actions requires an alternate IR framework – that of the ‘English School’, which approaches IR in ‘Grotian’ terms of norms for coexistence among states. "IndraStra Papers" are series of short research documents in the form of books/eBooks aimed at sharing knowledge regarding geopolitics, businesses, and technologies.
Uzbekistan's New Face
Uzbekistan, long considered the center of Central Asia, has the region’s largest population and borders every other regional state including Afghanistan. For the first 25 years of its independence, it adopted a cautious, defensive policy that emphasized sovereignty and treated regional efforts at cooperation with skepticism. But after taking over as President in autumn 2016, Shavkat Mirziyoyev launched a breathtaking series of reform initiatives. His slogan – “it is high time the government serves the people, not vice versa” – led to large-scale reforms in virtually every sector. Time will tell whether the reform effort will succeed, but its first positive fruits are already visible, particularly in a new dynamism within Uzbek society, as well as a fresh approach to foreign relations, where a new spirit of regionalism is taking root. This book is the first systematic effort to analyze Uzbekistan’s reforms.

Indopacífico
El Indopacífico es una inmensa región que se extiende entre los dos océanos que le dan nombre. Alberga a más de la mitad de la población mundial y reúne a más de ochenta países en sus riberas. Desempeña un papel crucial en la economía y la geoestrategia global. Históricamente próspera, representa dos tercios del PIB mundial. Este libro describe los motivos por los que este concepto geopolítico ha reemplazado al anterior de Asia-Pacífico, su construcción académica y su progresiva asunción por los responsables políticos de todo el mundo. Juan Manuel López-Nadal ingresó en la carrera diplomática en 1980. Sus experiencias de primera mano en el continente asiático, donde ha sido embajador de España en Tailandia, Camboya, Birmania y Laos y cónsul general en Hong Kong, le han convertido en uno de los grandes especialistas en asuntos asiáticos.
The Resurgence of Central Asia
A seminal introduction to the rise of Central Asia following the collapse of Tsarist Russia, this book has been out of print for two decades and is now more relevent than ever. The Resurgence of Central Asia is Ahmed Rashid’s seminal study of the states that emerged in the aftermath of the breakup of the Soviet Union: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. All have Muslim majorities and ancient histories but are otherwise very different. Rashid’s book, now with a new introduction by the author examining some of the crucial political developments since its first publication in 1994, provides entrée to this little-known but geopolitically important region.

Sustainable Development in Central Asia
This book is the result of a pioneering conference held in Ulaan Baatar in September 1994. The first Conference on the Sustainable Development of Central Asia brought together government officials, development professionals, academics, activists and religious representatives from Central, South and East Asia and the West. The full range of perspectives from this diverse group is presented here on how Central Asia can find paths of development which really serve its long term interests, and what the rest of the world can learn from Central Asians about living in harmony with the environment.

Small States and Alliances
The book focuses on the relations between small states and alliances. It is on why, how and under what conditions states engage in alliances. What are the benefits and costs of alliances? How are the benefits and costs of alliances allocated among their members? What determines who allies with whom? Can small states still pursue their own security interests within an alliance? Can they even become integral part of an alliance? Scholars, practitioners, policy-makers and advisors from several countries discuss these issues. They address historical, empirical and theoretical topics and give policy recommendations.
