This book presents an alternative roadmap for a world characterised by geopolitical uncertainty. The surging expectations about a future world of democratic values and high economic growth, born out of superpower bonhomie at the end of the Cold War, did not lead to the promised outcomes. Instead we are faced with deeply destabilising challenges, like climate change, widespread state fragility, terrorism, arms race, disruptive newer technologies, global economic volatility, and ineffectiveness of multilateral institutions, old and new.The volume:surveys the intellectual discourse, the attempts to redesign the global institutions, and the geopolitical trends since the end of the Cold War for an understanding of the contemporary geopolitics,analyses the characteristics of the contemporary geopolitics, the seeming intractability of the global challenges, and the ongoing discourse about preventing their further deterioration,foregrounds the Gandhian praxis and IR theory for managing power transitions anchored in non-violent mobilisation of empowered masses, ensuring institutional resilience, and illustrates them through ongoing conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan,outlines an approach, based on the Gandhian experience of managing political change, towards conflict, geopolitical uncertainties, and institutional ineffectiveness for securing a better future globally, including South Asia.Accessibly written, this volume will be indispensable for foreign policy experts, government think tanks, and career bureaucrats. It will also be essential for scholars and researchers of international relations, foreign policy, politics, and governance and public policy.

Power System Management demonstrates the effectiveness of emerging technologies in electrical systems compared to traditional operational systems. It showcases different operations of the electrical systems, presents the output results based on the latest techniques, and compares the results with classical methods.Highlights how to implement the modern automation system in the electrical transmission, and distribution systemsDiscusses the integration of distributed energy resources at both medium voltage (MV) and low voltage (LV) levels with modern automation systemsShowcases the problems associated with the AC transmission system and the required automation control systemCovers application of smart technologies including deep learning and artificial intelligence in fault detection, and grid optimizationPresents real-time monitoring and control of power system devices using the Internet of Things systems, and artificial intelligence-operated robotics system used for control of electrical distribution systemThe text is primarily written for senior undergraduates, graduate students, and academic researchers in the fields including electrical engineering, electronics and communications engineering, computer science, and engineering.
