The paper relies on the global capitalism approach, which locates the dominant global forces in the structure of an ever-more globalising capitalism. It deals with the role of neo-liberal globalising forces in the field of global economics; global politics and the role of ideology of consumerism in transnational cultural ideological practices. The paper argues that globalisation is far from being inclusive. To survive and thrive in such an iniquitous world, the few big beneficiaries of globalisation are playing a mind game. The game is to create a new world, which does not adhere to the existing norms and patterns. The agenda is to formulate different rules and prescribes new paradigms based on the primacy of markets in all walks of life. The net result of placing markets as the primary agent of all human endeavours is that today we are witnessing a world where-economy is building castles in air; politics is suffering from cognitive freeze; culture is experiencing shock and military is in a state of stupor.

It is caged by its military industrial complex to control the continental world through wars and illegal interventions. It has never imagined reducing the gargantuan military budget to have some money available for building land bridges to interact with Eurasia, as a benign power.

It aims to sensitize the world against gross human rights violations through the threat of legal action. The rapid entry of the Rome Statute on July 1, 2002 heralds a new era in international politics. It opens new avenues for the international community to monitor human rights violations within states and bring the delinquent individuals to trial. One of the main reasons for the court to come into existence after the end of the Cold War is that many crimes committed against humanity have been ignored by states either due to 'military necessity' or under the national sovereignty and territorial integrity clause. The ICC does involve a certain sacrifice of sovereignty because it envisages asserting itself when a state refuses or fails to use its national criminal justice apparatus to deal with the perpetrator of crimes against humanity. This paper argues that the ICC challenges the exclusivity of sovereign states. ICC imposes certain restrictions and limits on state authority and competes with the state in the exercise of authority.

The author examines the role of American ideas, experts, funds, international relations and strategy in shaping India's social, economic and educational institutions. The book covers an important aspect of contemporary history and presents a fresh perspective based on authentic records. Adding a new dimension to the understanding of modern Indian history and Indo-American relations, it will appeal to scholars and students of Indian and American history, international relations and strategy.
