Amit Ranjan, "Contested Waters: India's Transboundary River Water Disputes in South Asia"
English | ISBN: 1138040339 | 2020 | 204 pages | EPUB | 973 KB
This book examines India's transboundary river water disputes with its South Asian riparian neighbours ― Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan. It explores the history of disputes and cooperation over the transboundary river water in this region as well as discusses current disputes and future concerns. It analyses how and why existing transboundary river water sharing treaties between India and its South Asian riparian neighbours are confronted with challenges. The book indicates that India's transboundary river water disputes with its South Asian riparian neighbours are likely to escalate in coming years due to the widening of the demand¬-supply gap in the respective countries. It further shows the impact of bilateral relations on the resolution of transboundary river water disputes, even as cordial relationships do not always guarantee the absence of river water disputes between riparian states. The book looks at some key questions: How political are India's transboundary rivers water disputes in South Asia? Why do the roots of India's river water disputes with Bangladesh and Pakistan lie in the partition of the British India in 1947? Why are there reservations against India's hydroelectricity projects or allegations of water theft? Is it possible to resolve transboundary river water disputes among these South Asian countries?

Contested Borders: Territorialization, National Identity and «Imagined Geographies» in Albania (Nationalisms across the Globe) By Ilir Kalemaj
2014 | 267 Pages | ISBN: 3034317840 | PDF | 10 MB
This book argues that power struggles between internal and diasporic elites play a central role in the development of political agendas that have the potential to shift national borders. The author uses Albania as the primary case study, examining how the understanding of the Albanian nation has taken on varying geographical borders over time and why different Albanian communities have often had differing perceptions of the borders of the nation. On the basis of this case study, the author constructs a theoretical model that captures the dynamic of domestic versus international constraints on elite choices and analyses how this leads to the (re)construction of borders. The book explores the way in which competing elites manipulate national symbols to create the necessary environment for personal political gain, using both expansionist and contractionist versions of «virtual» borders that may or may not be congruent with internationally recognized borders.

In conjunction with future biometric technologies , the data of an individual's identity will be logged into a huge database containing personal information and methods of collection. Privacy advocates are concerned about hackers, cyberattacks, and glitches in this digital system network. UN Agenda 21/2030 is a non binding sustainable development plan using smart green technologies supposedly to preserve the earth's resources from over consumption by humans, based on the premise of global warming. Mankind would be placed in human settlement zones, there would be no property rights or individual liberties. Each individual would be a global citizen expected to conform to societal rule for the good of the collective, where individual thought would be discouraged. This book is a discussion into the ultimate goals of The New World Order, the global elites, their objectives and techniques, of a one world government, and one world cashless digital currency, and one world religion, and one world militarized police force to enforce total power and control of everyone and everything on the planet.
