The book examines contemporary globalisation, which signifies a growing interconnectedness between people and societies across the world through increasing flows of people, goods, services, finance, and ideas across the borders. The concept of globalisation and its meaning is discussed through insights from scholars such as David Held, Anthony Giddens, David Harvey, Arjun Appadurai, Ulrich Beck, Manuel Castells, Saskia Sassen, and many other scholars to explain divergent perspectives of globalisation. The book also studies threats like nuclear weapons proliferation, global terrorism, environmental security issues, global justice, poverty, migration, and global shifts. It aims to generate readers’ interest in understanding globalisation and analysing the changing dynamics of world politics by studying it from diverse viewpoints. The emergence of COVID-19 and resurgence of great power politics has given rise to the debate of de-globalisation and return of a new kind of ‘cold war’. In this context, this volume will also help readers to understand globalisation in the present changing world order. The book will be useful to the students of political science, international relations, and other interdisciplinary social sciences subjects like political economy and global/international politics.

The application of a novel correlation coefficient of linguistic intuitionistic fuzzy sets to medical diagnosis problems provides the topic for Strategic Fuzzy Extensions and Decision-making Techniques. It further explains neutrosophic cubic set-based aggregation operators for library ranking systems, and techniques for order performance by similarity to ideal solution. The text also introduces the new aggregation operators, similarity measures, and distance measures for the fuzzy sets and their extensions.This book:Introduces the new aggregation operators, similarity measures, and distance measures for the fuzzy sets and their extensions. Covers recent studies in the field of fuzzy optimization and decision making such as advanced decision-making algorithms.Highlights the application in the field of image processing and pattern recognition.Presents a technique for order performance by similarity to an ideal solution and VIKOR method for decision-making.Explores the limitations of existing fuzzy decision-making approaches such as the malfunctioning of existing formulations.It is primarily written for senior undergraduate, graduate students, and academic researchers in fields including industrial engineering, manufacturing engineering, production engineering, mechanical engineering, and engineering mathematics.

This volume critically analyses the theories and concepts of international relations (IR), which will be instrumental in understanding IR from a non-western perspective. Owing to its emphasis on the need to decolonise the discipline of IR, alternate perspectives from the global South have been explored and discussed in detail.The book provides new insights to make the discipline more inclusive, universal and contributory to world peace and security. It lucidly enumerates on the concepts of state, sovereignty, power, conflict, security, diplomacy, human rights, development, market, inequalities, and migration from a non-Eurocentric lens, bringing distinct perspectives and experiences to the fore. Expanding on the Indian foreign policy of Vasudev Kutumbakam, it highlights India’s policy of multi-alliances and multilateralism and, also refers to India’s contributions during the COVID-19 pandemic and its drive to champion the cause of marginalised nations by reforming international institutions and pressing for development with sustainability. It is testament to India’s commitment to global security through cooperation and collective action.This book will be useful to the Departments of Political Science, Global Studies, International Studies, and South Asian studies. It will be an indispensable resource for researchers, social scientists and general readers interested to understand the theories and key concepts of IR, especially from an Indian perspective.

This book looks at how to combine metaheuristic optimization algorithms and fuzzy decision-making methods to improve the sustainability and effectiveness of supply chains. Mathematical and metaheuristic optimization methods based on natural processes, combined with fuzzy decision-making, enable the construction of models that can effectively address the multifaceted issues of contemporary supply chains. This book offers a variety of decision-making techniques, including entropy measures, distance measures, coefficient correlation, aggregating operators, TOPSIS, EDAS, and more. This book overcomes the drawbacks of existing fuzzy decision-making methods. The book also presents case studies that demonstrate the application of metaheuristic decision-making algorithms to improve the sustainability and viability of supply chains. One such notable example is green supplier selection in supply chain management. The changing supply chain management landscape offers many areas for future research, like investigating the intersection of mathematical and metaheuristic fuzzy decision-making algorithms with new technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence, which can create more responsive and adaptive supply chains.
