Perkovich (Is India a Major Power?) discusses India’s “vibrant representative democracy” yet he highlights the problems caused by its diversity that could easily degenerate into civil conflict and disorder. Why? What does he identify as the problems? And why can’t these problems be fixed with a representative democracy that represents all the groups in India’s population? Answer: Perkovich argues that India’s diversity creates challenges such as regional tensions, religious conflict, and socioeconomic disparities, which can destabilize the country. A representative democracy cannot resolve these problems because political representation does not address the deep - rooted identity - based conflicts and disparities between groups. 2. In two articles on India, Mohan (Balancing Interests and Values) and Schaffer (Building a New Partnership), the differences in India's relationship with the US during the Clinton and Bush II administrations is highlighted as very significant. What do these authors say are the differences and what caused them? Which administration did India prefer and why? Answer: Mohan highlights that during Clinton’s administration, India focused on economic growth, while Bush II emphasized security and counterterrorism. India preferred Bush II’s administration because it viewed the U.S. as a more reliable partner for its strategic goals and global ambitions. 3. Deng and Moore (China Views Globalization) discuss China’s view of globalization as originally pertaining only to economic matters. In recent years China has come to see the value of globalization concerning issues of security and international politics. Why do the Chinese now hold the different view of globalization? Why do they prefer a multipolar world? Answer: China now sees globalization beyond economics, considering its political and security implications due to its growing global influence. They prefer a multipolar world to avoid domination by any single superpower, ensuring they can maintain greater autonomy and influence in international matters. 4. Wu Xinbo ( The Promise and Limitations of a Sino - US Relationship ) opines that the new global threat of terrorism has made China rethink its participation in the proliferation of nuclear weapons. Why the change in attitude and what are the Chinese doing differently? Answer: China's attitude towards nuclear proliferation changed due to the global threat of terrorism, which made them reconsider the risks associated with nuclear weapons in unstable regions. China is focusing on diplomacy and nonproliferation efforts to ensure regional security while reducing the threat of nuclear escalation. 5. Wallender ( Russian T r ansimperialism) defines the two directions Russia could go as postimperial and neoimperial .
