Obviously, India will not give up on fostering closer ties with its numerous partners in the Asia-Pacific, ranging from Japan and South Korea in the north up to Australia and New Zealand to the south, and this will be ...
... with which they are best connected logistically.
International organisations in Greater Eurasia arose amid fundamentally different conditions than in Europe, and the closest analogue can only be the cooperation of the Southeast Asian countries within ASEAN. A distinctive feature of the European institutions for security and cooperation is their forceful nature. The Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe was created on the basis of agreements between East and West during the Cold War. ...
