International Security in the Modern World by Roger Carey and Trevor C. Salmon

 Miscellaneous Books 

Despite major changes in the global environment since 1989, it remains the case that energy, as well as the threat of energy, remains limited. The scope operates on security, conflict and international cooperation, prevention, disaster risk management and prevention, arms control and warfare, insurgency and counter-terrorism, third-world security, cooperation, and the role of the earth, air, and maritime forces. This book takes the traditional approach in particular but also introduces readers to other ideas and approaches related to the safety and security of the Third World.

Encyclopedia of Public Administration and Public Policy by David Rosenbloom

Public Administration (Suggested Readings) Book-02

David H. Rousnboom is one of the most prestigious scholars whose work shapes the field of public administration. This entry shows his significant contribution to the field of public administration during the last three decades. As this entry suggests, Rousnboom is known for its three-lens framework, also known as its "competitive perspective" model, to understand public administration. In this model, Rousnboom indicates that public administration incorporates different approaches, but is capable of overlapping managerial, political, and legal approaches. Each of them emphasizes various values, which inform their priorities for organizational formats, treatment of individuals, decision making, budget, human resource management, and methods of cognition. This model has been used around the world through seven editions of its book, a classic and a milestone in public administration studies. Notably, Rousnblum has made a particularly significant contribution to developing the political and legal approach of this model. Many of his publications focus on investigating important issues regarding political and legal aspects of public administration. These publications greatly enrich the understanding of the principles and practices of public administration in the United States. The entry also includes a brief introduction to Rosynboom's academic and professional career in the field of public administration.

Public Administration by Denhardt

Public Administration (Suggested Readings) Book-01 

The new public service articulates an integral set of norms and practices that put a strong emphasis on democracy and citizenship as vital pillars of the theory and practice of public administration. This article deepens the essential arguments of the new public service while examining the ways in which these concepts have been applied and analyzed in the last fifteen years. The authors finally conclude that although neither the principles of the new public service nor those of the new public management have been established as a predominant paradigm, the ideals of the new public service and their associated concepts have constantly gained prominence within the areas of scholarship and the practice of public administration. This evolution reflects the importance of democratic commitment and active citizenship in the configuration of effective public governance.

A Promised Land by Barak Obama

 
A fascinating and deeply personal story about the creation of history, this book reflects on the presidency of the leader who inspired us to believe in the power of democracy.
In the first highly anticipated volume of his presidential memoirs, Barack Obama shares his journey from a young man seeking his identity to the leader of the free world. He provides surprisingly personal details about both his political education and the historical moments of his first presidential term, a time of dramatic transformation.
Obama takes readers on a compelling journey, beginning with his early political aspirations and culminating in the pivotal victory of the Iowa Caucus. This victory demonstrated the power of grassroots activism and set the stage for the historic night of November 4, 2008, when he was elected the 44th President of the United States, becoming the first African American to hold the highest office in the nation.
In reflecting on his presidency, Obama offers a unique exploration of both the impressive scope and the limitations of presidential power. He presents insightful ideas about the dynamics of U.S. partisan politics and international diplomacy. Readers are taken inside the Oval Office and the White House Situation Room, as well as to cities like Moscow, Cairo, and Beijing. 
We gain insight into his thoughts during cabinet meetings, as he navigates a global financial crisis, assesses the challenges posed by Vladimir Putin, and overcomes significant odds to secure the Affordable Care Act. We see him confront military leaders over U.S. strategies, authorize special operations, and respond to international crises. Through these experiences, Obama provides a candid narrative of his time in office and the complexities of leadership.

India Bangladesh Border Disputes by Amit Ranjan

 Current Affairs (Suggested by Publisher) 

This book examines the mental construction of the India-Bangladesh border, exploring how and when divisions among people were created. It emphasises that this mental framework existed before the physical border and highlights the challenges faced by those who had to leave their homes during the 1947 partition of India.
Historically, the absence of formal borders allowed for free movement of people, fostering cultural exchange and economic interaction. However, the establishment of territorial boundaries in the mid-20th century complicated migration significantly. A clear example is the border between India and Bangladesh, drawn during the 1947 partition of British India. This sudden division split families and disrupted social ties, leading to significant displacement and conflict. The new border restricted movement and heightened issues of citizenship, identity, and security for millions caught on the wrong side. This situation underscores the profound impact political decisions can have on people's lives and relationships.
The book asserts that borders shape the identities of individuals and groups. Those who cross borders for various reasons are often categorised and labelled by both the state and the local populace. In some instances, these migrants face hostility from locals who perceive them as threats to the local workforce. Furthermore, after the liberation of Bangladesh in 1971, the daily interactions between people from India and Bangladesh have deepened a sense of division and conflict.
In 2015, India and Bangladesh reached an agreement to implement the Land Boundary Agreement (LBA). This book evaluates whether the implementation of this agreement will affect border-related challenges, such as mobility, migration, and tensions. It serves as a valuable resource for political leaders, journalists, researchers, and students.

History of Westren Philosophy by Bertrand Russell

Philosophy (Suggested Readings) Book-01

This book is a great starting point for anyone interested in philosophy. Russell takes the reader on a journey through ideas from the early Greeks to the mid-20th century, as the book was initially published in 1946. He covers many famous philosophers and ideas along the way.
Russell's writing strikes a good balance between complexity and accessibility. It is clear that he has his own perspectives, and his interpretations help make the rapid succession of abstract concepts more digestible. However, those expecting a different account may find themselves disappointed.
The history of Western philosophy is typically divided into three parts: ancient, medieval (often associated with the Catholic Church), and modern philosophy. I found the ancient philosophers to be the most engaging, while I felt somewhat let down by the contemporary thinkers. This book demands a lot from its readers, and I am fortunate to have navigated through the denser chapters with some historical context.
Upon finishing the book, what did I learn? Did I emerge as an enlightened individual? Not exactly. In fact, I struggle to remember most of the philosophy contained within its pages. However, I do now see that the words of thinkers like Aristotle and Descartes carry a newfound significance for me.
