India and South Africa, two states that bookended the process of twentieth century decolonization, punched above their weight in global politics in their initial years of liberation. Postscripts on Independence analyses and compares the making of foreign policy ideas, identities, and institutions of postcolonial India and South Africa. It shows how both countries have responded to the contradictory demands of their freedom struggles against colonialism and pragmatic challenges of international politics. Vineet Thakur argues that the countries' geopolitical positioning in South Asia and southern Africa make them regional powers, with similar sets of problems and prospects, as both continue to grapple with the idea of maintaining regional and/or continental hegemony. By undertaking a comparative analysis, he explores a framework to understand the foreign policymaking fears, aspirations, and international behaviour of these two states.

This edited volume examines power in its different dimensions in global governance. Scholars tend to underestimate the importance of power in international relations because of a failure to see its multiple forms. To expand the conceptual aperture, this book presents and employs a taxonomy that alerts scholars to the different kinds of power that are present in world politics. A team of international scholars demonstrate how these different forms connect and intersect in global governance in a range of different issue areas. Bringing together a variety of theoretical perspectives, this volume invites scholars to reconsider their conceptualization of power in world politics and how such a move can enliven and enrich their understanding of global governance.

El avistamiento de objetos extraños en el cielo es un asunto que se ha vuelto demasiado frecuente con el paso de los años en todos los confines del planeta. De ahí que sorprenda la desidia de los Estados a la hora de intentar descubrir qué se oculta detrás de estos fenómenos. Se podría afirmar, tal y como lo hacen los autores de este singular texto, que para los Estados el fenómeno de los ovnis es un no-fenómeno: se reconoce su existencia pero, al no perseguir su investigación, esta se relega al estatus de la "indecibilidad" o, lo que es lo mismo, en la práctica se asume que los ovnis existen pero, en realidad, no existen.La soberanía moderna es por definición antropocéntrica, es decir, está constituida y organizada con los seres humanos como única referencia. Sin embargo, quizás sus verdaderos límites se evidencien en el tabú de tomar en serio el fenómeno de los ovnis. Este tabú se explica por los imperativos funcionales de la soberanía antropocéntrica, incapaz de admitir una excepción a la primacía del ser humano sobre todas las cosas y a la soberanía estatal como expresión de este poder ontológico absoluto que, supuestamente, detentamos sobre el resto del universo.
