परिचय
चतुष्टय (क्वाड) का वर्तमान विकास एक जबरदस्त सुरक्षा संहिता के रूप में उभरा है और मालाबार के ऩौ सैन्य अभ्यास में आस्ट्रेलिया के शामिल होने से यह भारत और अंतरराष्ट्रीय जगत में मीडिया का ध्यान प्रचुरता में अपनी ओर खींचा है। विश्लेषकों का एक बड़ा समूह इसकी पद्धति को लेकर वही घिसा-पिटा सवाल किया है कि चीन के उद्भव और क्षेत्रीय मामलों में उसकी बढ़ती आग्रहिता को देखते हुए चतुष्टय का आयोजन उपयुक्त है या नहीं।

Of Bulls, Boys and Bananas: A Realistic Look at Vaccine Transportation
December 9 , 2020 Dr Rajiv Pathni
Commentary Views: 3153
Now that we have possibly viable candidates for the COVID-19 vaccine, the media frenzy has moved on to another plane – how to store and transport vaccines. Especially the Pfizer vaccine, which needs to be stored at -70°Celsius - colder than winter in Antarctica; and the Moderna candidate, which needs a more moderate -20°Celsius.1

Understanding the Complexities and Paradoxes of the Chinese Dream
December 9 , 2020 Aakriti Vinayak, Research Associate, VIF
Commentary Views: 3066
The oft-quoted slogan “Chinese dream” by the President Xi Jinping, which was under spotlight when it was introduced, has gained widespread attention and jitters in China and the outside world. Inside China, the Chinese dream is everywhere, on streets, in cinemas, in music and even in schools. The Chinese dream is reminder for the Chinese that there will be rejuvenation of the country to its past glory. Outside China, the dream is a cause of concern - of an impending hegemonic Chinese world order.

December 8 , 2020 Dr Tenzin Tsultrim
Article Views: 3717
The relations between Tibet, India and China are best illustrated in the words of Claude Arpi, a noted historian and journalist who has written a series of important books on Tibet, India and China, including, The Fate of Tibet: When the Big Insects Eats Small Insects. Arpi writes: “It is interesting to note that in the history of the three nations, Tibet and China always had a relation based on force and power, while Tibet and India had more of a cultural and religious relationship based on shared spiritual values.”

मध्य-पूर्व और अमेरिका के अगले राष्ट्रपति : चिंताएं भरपूर
December 8 , 2020 Amb Anil Trigunayat, Distinguished Fellow, VIF
Article Views: 2803
अमेरिका परंपरागत रूप से मध्य-पूर्व की सुरक्षा का मध्यस्थ रहा है। इस क्षेत्र के प्रति पिछले कुछ दिनों से अमेरिकी रवैया में यकीनन कुछ उदासीनता और और निष्क्रियता के संकेत मिले हैं। इसलिए कि हिंद-प्रशांत महासागर की भू-आर्थिकी और भू-राजनीति ने शक्ति-संतुलन को बदल दिया है। जैसा कि अमेरिका शेल और गैस सहित तेल का सबसे बड़ा उत्पादक देश हो गया है। इसने उसके पहले की रणनीतिक उपभोक्ता की हैसियत को एक प्रतियोगी उत्पादक में बदल दिया है। इस वजह से एशियाई देशों की तेजी से समृद्ध होती अर्थव्यवस्था की बढ़ती मांगों ने उसे एक युद्ध के मैदान में बदल दिया है। सभी मुख्य उत्पादक पाई के लिए प्रतिस्पर्धा करें
