How is a nation to survive obvert and subversive political violence from State enemies? The answer is to find strength from collective resolve against aggression and intimidation by the world's latest bullies, by taking refuge in the rule of law embodied by the United Nations, and in collective security arrangements with fellow democracies and like-minded allies.

It also examines questions in regard to child soldiers: first, who are these child soldiers? And why children work as soldiers in conflict areas? Second, while most developed societies insist on liberal principles like right to life, liberty and upholding the dignity of individuals; why in most of the other parts of the world children have been forced to take up arms?. It emphasizes on the humanitarian part of child soldiers particularly the girls. The article critically examines the course of action of international mechanism working on child soldiers. But most importantly this article attempts to understand as to why in spite of having so many norms and standards in place both at the international as well as regional level to protect and guarantee children their due rights, the problem of using children as soldiers continues to remain a cause of concern in the international community.","PeriodicalId":188565,"journal":{"name":"Jindal Journal of International Affairs","volume":"167 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122334583","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The Changing Landscape of EU-Asia Relations","authors":"G. Khandekar","doi":"10.54945/jjia.v2i1.31","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.54945/jjia.v2i1.31","url":null,"abstract":"European Union-Asia relations have been progressively developing over the years. The European Union (EU) today is the leading trade partner of many Asian nations and the spectrum of issues falling under the EU’s bilateral relations with countries in Asia spans far and wide. The EU has been a development partner in Asia for decades and is one of Asia’s largest sources of foreign direct investment (FDI), aid and humanitarian assistance. The EU and Asia interact closely on regional and multilateral issues and within multilateral forums. The EU has even constructed developed deeper relationships with some key Asian countries through strategic partnerships: with China, India, Japan, South Korea and Russia. But potential of overall EU-Asia relations remains far from optimum. The EU has been rather late in recognising the rise of Asia and in gearing itself towards this important development. It has ambitions to play a greater political role in complement to its status as a global trading giant, but efforts fall short. In particular, the EU lacks visibility in Asia commensurate to its actual weight. The ongoing financial and economic crisis has further weakened the EU as an actor in Asia. The changing landscape of EU-Asia relations now depends on two important considerations – a dynamically ascendant and economically integrated Asia, and the US’ renewed focus to Asia. This paper examines the EU’s relations with Asia focussing on the Asian partners of the Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM).","PeriodicalId":188565,"journal":{"name":"Jindal Journal of International Affairs","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115308896","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The Ethics Shaping EU Interactions and Transactions","authors":"Leon Miller","doi":"10.54945/jjia.v2i1.28","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.54945/jjia.v2i1.28","url":null,"abstract":"The European Union represents hope that the era of Europeans attempting to gain power over other Europeans is over. EU represents a new perspective on European interactions based on an ethical commitment to shaping interactions between agents (interpersonal, commercial and political) into mutually beneficial outcomes for all the participating parties. It is hoped that these Western democratic principles will create a type of dialogue where international agents interact within the boundaries of constituted structures to shape an “ontological middle way.” In other words international actors will apply deliberative democracy to identifying principles that establish the normative structures necessary for achieving mutually desired outcomes. As a result international relations will not be anarchic, nor only interest driven but also value driven.A part of the process-of shaping Europe into an extended zone of peace, security and prosperityinvolves the challenge of formulating a view of Europe’s heritage that overcomes what has historically persisted in being conflicting interests. Thus bonding Europeans on the basis of shared values and principles represents the possibility of healing painful aspects of European history. Europe’s current notion of the role of power in interstate relations offers the prospect of reducing (perhaps eliminating) some of the troublesome clashes of interests that have caused pain and violence throughout European history. European scholars recognized the need to reconcile the painful aspects of history and address the persistent problems of Western Civilization’s ontological, teleological and epistemological assumptions by taking a critical look at Enlightenment philosophy (that gave birth to Modernity). The ontological, teleological and epistemological assumptions of Modernity had tremendous impact on most of the world. These basic assumptions are not only being reconsidered by Europeans themselves but are also under scrutiny by many world cultures. Such dialectic reconsiderations have played a role in shaping a new European model of how power is employed in regional (thus international) relations.","PeriodicalId":188565,"journal":{"name":"Jindal Journal of International Affairs","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130685606","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This question has raised many answers and arguments, but it still remains unresolved. This book comes as a fresh approach to this on-going debate on the European identity, which seems to be moving across discourses and themes. The question of identity and Europeanism becomes more relevant in the light of European integration. Whom to include and whom to exclude, and how to deal with the increasing diversity with inclusion of new countries in the European Union, has raised renewed debates related to the identity. The intellectual and political conducts of the countries which have come under the European Union has become much wide and varied, and thus, has expanded the range of the discourses on the subject of identity.","PeriodicalId":188565,"journal":{"name":"Jindal Journal of International Affairs","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130487526","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The book ‘Queer in Europe’ thus, tries to explain with what connotation did the term settle in the periphery of Europe. ‘Queer in Europe’ clears a lot of misconceptions that one has about the concept of queer. It is not a set of instructions or directions; rather it’s an in-depth analysis about the concept of Queer in Europe. The book deals with the progress of sexuality and culture in Europe. The main purpose of its text is to highlight and observe the divisions between one clear line of consistent antiquity, regulation, lived experience and the cultural change of European queer culture.","PeriodicalId":188565,"journal":{"name":"Jindal Journal of International Affairs","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128834644","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
