It is important to assess the promise of Peaceful Nuclear Explosions (PNEs) which has been highly exaggerated by some, and unduly underplayed by others. Despite two decades of effort, the PNE technology is still in the development stage. A realistic approach is needed to judge the extent to which nuclear explosives are useful in creating new assets for man, which cannot be gained from other means. The advantages are to be weighed against the possible ecological hazards and political problems inherent in the use of nuclear methods. An attempt is made to study the efforts made so far to exploit the unique features of nuclear explosives for engineering applications.

The management and utilization of a number of resources of the planet earth, over which no single nation has exclusive jurisdiction, have given rise to a number of knotty problems, usually termed as issues of ‘Global Commons“. A number of these issues have come to the fore in the global agenda in the 1970s.Footnote1 The creation of acceptable norms, procedures, rules, and institutional structures to manage these resources has proved to be legally complex and politically contentious.

For decades, the dominant sense in the foreign policy establishment of India was that neither the Kashmir question nor the boundary dispute with China was ripe for resolution. Yet, in defiance of this received wisdom, two very different political coalitions have opened and sustained substantive negotiations on Jammu and Kashmir and the boundary dispute with China. Forward movement in both negotiations has also been premised on opening the closed frontiers with China and Pakistan.
