1. Abstract

The world is confronting a risk of the power vacuum that may loom large on its canvas for a long time. The Vacuum is created in light of the fact that Europe and the USA are in a mode of gradual relative decay vis-a-vis the accelerated growth of the rising powers.

Introduction

By forging close trade, security, and defence cooperation relations with the majority of Middle Eastern countries, India's foreign policy has shifted from "Link West" to "Act West", resulting in action-oriented policy from mere linkage policy.

Hence, the development relates itself to the generation living during that time period. The race to create more wealth and be more developed by harnessing nature has already caused intense strains on earth in form of depleting resources, high risks to lives and livelihood of present generation due to climate changes and a cause of grave concern to the future generations. Sustainable Development thus has become a buzz word replacing the concept of Development though it is in the overall domain of Development. Read more
