'Complex Interdependence'

Complex interdependence characterizes the 21st Century world wherein geopolitical, economic and national security dimensions are more intertwined than ever before in history.  The inordinate increase in terrorist strikes worldwide, and the establishment of an Islamic Caliphate that purportedly will transcend national boundaries, threaten the extant world order. Likewise, the increasing socio-economic divide and unrest within countries, along with religious polarization in countries with sizeable Muslim populations, also have international ramifications in today's interconnected world. Hence, the canvas of topics under discussion on this blog will be wide, notwithstanding its India-centric focus. This blog seeks to promote candid and meaningful exchange of views, but without getting unduly polemical and offensive, which unfortunately characterizes most public discourse these days.
