| Summary, etc |
There are three sets of variables in this post-doctoral research project: security and development", "small and micro states", and "CircumCaribbean and South Pacific". Each of these sets of variables includes a broad spectrum of investigation, and therefore having all three of them in a single project of this kind cannot negate the possibility of being both ambitious and rhetoric. For the practical reason, therefore, this study has selectively focused on the intersection of the first level of variables, i.e., "security and development" and has relied primarily at this level while referring to the other two sets of variables. In the process, therefore, this study has taken a generalised form of interpretation to become useful for its purpose given the complexity of the issues with the small and micro states and the geographic vastness of the two regions that it covers, giving pronounced appearance of the phrase of "security-development intersection/nexus" throughout the report as its running thread. The logic of security-development nexus in this report finds its background in the post-1990 world order when a number of small-size territories emerged as independent states and their viability was simultaneously questioned. But it presumes that the nexus as such is more of the post-9/11 construct which eventually sought to securitise the sovereign entities in the Circum-Caribbean and the South Pacific where the physical size of the states in these regions was utilised for its justification.<br/>This study brings in the developmental issues in the context of securitisation and attempts to analytically decipher the "security development problematique" in these regions and attempts to articulate the security-development nexus from the small and micro states' point of view while emphasising on a "defensive" image building.<br/>Finally, it takes up the study for India's possible engagement in both the regions and suggests few useful points that the Indian foreign policy machinery could consider beneficial. |
