Editor's Note
channeling news from high altitude Himalayan wetlands EDITOR’S NOTE Dear Reader, Conservation teaches us new lessons everyday. Apart from opening our minds to novel and innovative solutions engineered to protect and conserve our ecosystems, it also humbles us by demonstrating the true, and often, immeasurable value of these ecosystems. But perhaps, one of the biggest lessons we have learnt is that conservation is not the privilege of a chosen few. It is a passion and a life skill which unites diverse groups of people, irrespective of their education, culture or nationality, resulting in productive partnerships. Such has been revealed to us through our regional efforts in conserving high altitude wetlands in the Himalayas. The ‘Saving Wetlands Sky-High!’ project has been a journey of discovering new conservation partners and of revelling in team-work. INSIDE Through this issue of ‘Himalayan Highlights’, we bring you stories of some of our Feature Story new and vibrant partners. We have found them in monasteries, at polo matches, Communities adopt their Wetlands on religious pilgrimages and in research institutions. We have found them in the Making a Difference young and in the old, in students and in preachers, in governments and in the Sporting Conservation people. We have found them in Pakistan, India, China, Nepal and Bhutan. But A Journey to New Learning most importantly, we have found them in the Himalayas. Gosaikunda breathes after Janaipoornima Cleanliness next to Godliness Read on to learn how the Himalayas and its ecosystems have inspired people to Strengthening through Science work together and have motivated them to make a difference.

JCPOA and the IAEA: Challenges Ahead
IDSA Issue Brief Emerging Flashpoints in the Himalayas P. Stobdan May 18, 2016 Summary Abstract: Long-term stability on both sides of the Himalayas cannot be achieved without working together or seeking coordinated policies. It is time to bring together the interests of both the Indian and Chinese governments toward seeking the common goal of saving the Himalayas and the people living in the region. EMERGING FLASHPOINTS IN THE HIMALAYAS Flashpoints in the Himalayan region are rising. The US Defence Department has expressed caution about China’s increased troops build-up along the Indian border as well as the likelihood of China establishing “additional naval logistic hubs” in Pakistan.1 From the Chinese perspective, the spectre of jihadi terrorism is spreading across Xinjiang province. The monks in Tibet continue to resist China’s military suppression. Pakistan, for its part, continues to sponsor terrorism in Kashmir with China’s tacit support. In Nepal, the vortex of the political crisis refuses to stop. This trend of events unfolding on both sides of the Himalayas is forming an interconnected chain. The issues involved transcend rugged mountains and even well-drawn cartographic and military lines. Signs of instability on one side impacting on another are visible. One would have hardly imagined that China’s dissenters, Uighurs and Tibetans could meet on this side of the Himalayas.2 Conventional wisdom had the Indian Himalayan belt being at least peaceful. Conviction also explained that freedom of religion (Buddhism) has ensured stability on this side of the mountain range. This sadly is no longer the case. The entire belt from Tawang to Ladakh has been subject to a string of incendiary events threatening to pitchfork the region into crisis.

An Examination of Buddhist Circuit's Role in the Promotion Of
วารสารการเมืองการปกครอง 202 ปีที่ 11 ฉบับที่ 1 ประจ าเดือนมกราคม – เมษายน 2564 Bridging North East India and ASEAN: An Examination of Buddhist Circuit’s Role in the Promotion of Tourism Industry Bishwanjit Singh Loitongbam1,a * (Received Date: January 8, 2021, Revised Date: January 21, 2021, Accepted Date: January 21, 2021) Abstract In this study, the role of India‟s Buddhist circuit in reshaping North East India‟s tourism industry is explored. Manipur has eight mandalas. The paper found that mandala is a niche tourism product and promotion of mandala tourism is a divergent series of investment and will create forward linkages. There is high likelihood of increasing income and employment opportunities being achieved by North East India. For that, reestablishing and reconnection of ASEAN members with North East India through cross-border economic and cultural integration will be a good policy through coopetition such as exploiting, exploring, bridging, sharing and boundary spanning. It will bring closer economic and cultural ties between ASEAN and India and in the economic development of North East India. Keywords: Tourism/ Buddhist Circuit/ Mandala/ Manipur/ North East India/ ASEAN Notes: I would like to thank my supervisor, Prof. Amar Yumnam, Head of Department, Department of Southeast Asian Studies, Manipur University for his generosity in sharing his knowledge. I am grateful to an anonymous for reviewers for comments. I am grateful to Indian Council of Social Sciences Research (ICSSR), New Delhi which supported me with a two-year fellowship for the research. * 1ICSSR Post-Doctoral Fellow, Department of Economics, Manipur University, Canchipur, India, email: [email protected] วารสารการเมืองการปกครอง 203 ปีที่ 11 ฉบับที่ 1 ประจ าเดือนมกราคม – เมษายน 2564 1.
