Rising India and Its Global Governance Imperatives
No full textThis is an introductory chapter which situates the volume in the wider context of global governance debates and India’s role in them. This volume seeks to examine India’s reaction to the current crisis in global governance, its stake in a liberal world order, its interests in ushering change in existing structures, and its capacity to influence and shape the future of global governance.</p
India and Maritime Governance
No full textThis chapter examines India’s involvement in maritime governance in IOR and argues that it is shaped, first and foremost, by geopolitics. Of the three drivers of India’s interest in maritime governance, geopolitics, economic interest, and non-traditional security, geopolitics is undisputedly the most important one. India’s involvement in maritime governance is driven by the geopolitics of countering China in the Indian Ocean and establishing Indian leadership in the IOR.</p
India's Subregional Connectivity Initiatives
No full textThis chapter attempts to map out India’s evolving subregional approach and explicates the strategic rationale behind it. Even as India has pushed to expand subregional connectivity, there are both domestic and external challenges. The chapter examines how India has been addressing some of the major hurdles underlining its policy implications.</p
2016: a year of dramatic changes in South Asia
No full textHarsh V Pant reflects on how developments in 2016 highlight that the Modi government is gradually altering the foundations of Indian foreign policy.

From Si Towards SiC Technology for Harsh Environment Sensing
No full textIn the coming decade, the development in the area of More than Moore will certainly take over from Moore’s Law. Sensor development and sensor integration will prevail above lower node development. New packaging solutions will be developed which will fuel the integration of sensors. These developments can still be silicon based but where harsh environments are involved wide-bandgap (WBG) materials, such as gallium nitride (GaN) or silicon carbide (SiC), will take over the development efforts spend. In this chapter, the use of WBG SiC material is discussed and reviewed towards possible applications for sensing under harsh environment exposure.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Electronic Components, Technology and Material
India – The (Accepted) Gatecrasher
No full textThis chapter considers the trajectory and rationales that have underpinned India’s emergence as a
de facto nuclear state within the international system. India has acquired this status by often
explicitly refusing to accept the perspectives of the five recognized nuclear powers, and most
pertinently has attained (both civilian and military) nuclear capabilities by acting outside international proliferation regimes and controls. Remarkably, over the first decade fo the 21st century,
and courtesy of wider critical systemic issues – in particular India’s rising (and increasingly
accepted) geopolitical and geo-economic importance – rather than being cast as a pariah, India
has been broadly welcomed into the nuclear fold. As such, India has been able to cast, and
crucially follow, its own distinctive path in the international arena, creating an exceptionalism
concerning its nuclear programme and international attitudes towards it
