En la post-Guerra Fría, el océano Indico se consagró como un espacio geopolítico vital donde convergen intereses y rivalidades de potencias regionales y extra-regionales. En el centro de este espacio geográfico se encuentra el archipiélago de Chagos, el cual fue separado de Mauricio durante su proceso de descolonización para que Gran Bretaña construyera allí una base militar estadounidense-británica. Con el propósito de comprender mejor la incidencia de las cuestiones geopolíticas en la evolución del proceso de descolonización de Mauricio, el presente trabajo aborda los intereses que del triángulo estratégico conformado por Estados Unidos, China e India, considerando que los mismos han sido centrales para la definición de las posturas que estas potencias adoptaron en torno a la resolución 71/292 de la Asamblea General de Naciones Unidas que solicita a la Corte Internacional de Justicia una opinión consultiva sobre el proceso de descolonización de Mauricio. ; In the post-Cold War, the Indian Ocean was consecrated as a vital geopolitical space where converge interests of regional and extra-regional powers. At the center of this geographic space is the Chagos archipelago, which was separated from Mauritius during its decolonization process because Britain wanted to build an US-British military base. With the purpose of understanding better the incidence of geopolitics in the evolution of the descolonization process, this article describes the interests of the India-China-United States strategic triangle considering that they have been central to the definition of the positions that these powers adopted in the resolution 71/292 of the General Assembly of Nations United Nations, which requests an advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice on the decolonization process in Mauritius. ; Fil: Morasso, Carla.

"The United Dutch East India Company was the first public company, preceding the formation of the English East-India Company by over 40 years. Its fame as the first public company which heralded the transition from feudalism to modern capitalism and its remarkable financial success for nearly two centuries ensure its importance in the history of capitalism. Although a publicly owned, highly complex and diversified business, and commonly agreed to be the largest and most profitable business in the 17th century, throughout its existence the Dutch East-India Company never produced public accounts of its financial affairs which would have allowed investors to judge the performance of the Company. Its financial accounting, which changed little during its lifetime, was not designed as an aid to rational investment decision-making by communicating the Company's financial performance but to be a means of promoting sound stewardship by senior management. This study examines the contributions of accounting to the remarkable success of the Dutch East-India Company and the influences on these accounting practices. From the time that the German economic historian Werner Sombart proposed that accounting techniques, most especially double-entry bookkeeping, were critical to the development of modern capitalism and the public company, historians and accounting scholars have debated the extent and importance of these contributions. The Dutch East-India Company was a capitalistic enterprise that had a public, permanent capital and its principal objective was to continually increase profit by reinvesting its returns in the business. Rather than the organisation and management of the Dutch East-India Company reflecting the perceived benefits of a particular bookkeeping method, the supremacy that it achieved and maintained in a very hazardous business at a time of recurring conflict between European states was a consequence of the practicalities of 17th century business and The Netherlands' unique, threatening natural environment which shaped its social and political institutions.

Brahmaputra River plays an essential role to life, livelihood, food security and sustainable development for the people of North Eastern states of India. Being a trans-boundary river that runs through Tibet, India and Bangladesh it's faced with continued political, economic and ecological dilemma. With its origin in Tibet as Yarlung-Tsangpo, China have the control over the accessibility of the river and can create problems for the lower riparian states. With the continued construction of dams on the Yarlung-Tsangpo River in the Tibet region it can be a form of concern, as China will have the ability to control India's water supply. Also the plans to divert the flow of water to the barren region of North West region of China Xinjiang can be seen as a strategic form of reducing the river flow to India. Therefore, this paper will look at the relations between the two rival countries-China and India, and provide the prelude to an era of hostility due to the issue of water reserve in the Yarlung-Tsangpo region in Tibet. Also it will analyze on how China can "weaponize" this to its advantage over the lower riparian states thus demonstrating a hegemonic character that contradicts the statement of "China's peaceful rise". Therefore, there is an urgent need for establishing water treaty that can warrant sharing of information that can develop mutual understanding and trust between two rival neighboring countries. This can ensure a form of peace even in the unwarranted times of border clash between India and China. With the ongoing pandemic, the global solidarity between two giant powers: India and China could be a necessity as they could work together and combine their efforts of economic, political and strategic power to combat various problems ranging from climate, environment ,border issues as well as address the question of balance of power in the Asian region.

This article traces the trajectory of the changing lives of Adivasi women of eastern and central India, i.e., the erstwhile Chotanagpur Division and the Santal Parganas of the Bengal Presidency under colonial times, and which is today incorporated largely within the state of Jharkhand. In India today, Adivasi women figure among some of the most deprived of people living in the margins, much of their vulnerability arising from unequal access to resources, particularly their right to inherit paternal property, and rooted in their socio-economic norms. Colonial rule, on the one hand, witnessed the increasing marginalisation of tribal women with the weakening of the communal indigenous organisations which left them exposed to exploitation of the market forces. On the other hand, it also enabled the empowerment of a section of Adivasi women who asserted their right to inherit ancestral property. In contrast, the politics of indigeneity in contemporary India have imposed restrictions on Adivasi women's bid to claim land rights. ; This article traces the trajectory of the changing lives of Adivasi women of eastern and central India, i.e., the erstwhile Chotanagpur Division and the Santal Parganas of the Bengal Presidency under colonial times, and which is today incorporated largely within the state of Jharkhand.

"Good things in Life begin small. SMEs (Something More for Everyone)" The small businesses in India are big nowadays. The small and medium enterprises (SME) sector in India is undergoing a 'Big Transformation' riding on the government's recognition of its significance, in terms of its contribution to the GDP and its huge potential for employment generation. A significant observation indicates that during the last 14 years of a liberalized regime, the country has seen phenomenal growth in the SME sector. Developing and venturing into the new products, diversifying their businesses and services by adopting new technical skills and thereby improving productivity has been the overall action plan for this ever multiplying closet. Over the years, the SSI sector in India has continued to remain an important sector of the economy with its noteworthy contribution to the gross domestic product, industrial production, employment generation and exports. As per the Third All India Census of SSIs (2001-02), there were 10.52 million SSI units in the country, of which 1.37 were registered and 9.15 unregistered units. For the year March 2004, the said number increased to 11.52 million, providing employment to 27.40 million persons and contributing an output of over Rs.3, 480 billion in FY2004. As a result of globalization coupled with the WTO regime, Indian SMEs are beginning to show a sign of steady transformation with the industry undergoing a sweeping change in its entirety.The SME sector in India is highly hetero geneous comprising of tiny unorganized enterprises to modern and more organized factories at the higher end of the spectrum. The rapidly increasing globalization of the Indian economy has been providing enormous opportunities for the small and medium enterprises in India to enhance their business. This paper attempts to find how SMEs could capitalize on such opportunities and the need to grapple with fierce competitionino verseas markets increasingly, which is becoming more challenging with realignment and coming together of global markets after liberalization.

Tibetan exile politics is only a marginal topic in international politics. The 14th Dalai Lama, the religious and political head of the Tibetan people, is a well-known figure around the globe, however. Since his flight to India in 1959, he has been heading the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA), the present Tibetan government-in-exile, which has been set up in northern India. This exile government is not internationally recognised, although it claims to represent the Tibetan nation and territory. The central question examined by this paper is how the CTA has fostered its claims to be the sole representative of all Tibetans while in exile. Based on Yossi Shain's theoretical framework on governments-in-exile and the author's extensive fieldwork in India and Nepal, the paper shows that the CTA successfully combines traditional values and structures with the requirements of modern politics in order to mobilise national loyalty and international moral and operational support. ; Tibetan exile politics is only a marginal topic in international politics.

The dispute over Kashmir was very influential and disturbing in the South Asian region, due to disputes between the two major countries namely India and Pakistan. The feud of two nations for the territory of Kashmir as the territory is still continuing and has attracted much attention from various countries in the dispute resolution efforts. The border sangketa of Kashmir has put a serious challenge for analysts as well as policymakers because the conflict is complex and heterogeneous. Kashmir was a predominantly Muslim region of the north, which had long been disputed after the British came out. Kashmir located on the border between India, Pakistan and China became a region of scramble by all three countries to this day, mainly India and Pakistan. The formulation of the problem to be researched is (1), How are dispute resolution rules between regions under international law. (2) How the dispute resolution in the region of the Khasmir occurred between India and Pakistan. The research is done in a descriptive, typology of this research is a normative juridical is a research law literature. Based on the results of the study can be concluded arrangements in international dispute resolution can be conducted by means of the settlement of a judicial institution consisting of (i) the arbitral tribunal, (ii) settlement through the International Mahkama (ICJ), (iii) Settlement of disputes through the International Criminal Court and with peaceful dispute resolution, the Kashmir territorial dispute occurred due to the conflict of the political interests of both countries and the powers manifested by unilateral claims from India or Pakistan so that the settlement decided the UN to try a new approach by sending UN representatives to India and Pakistan to find solutions that can be agreed upon by both countries. For this to see the better recticatory justice which can further trace the issue.
