340:âThe book thus represents a most welcome critique of mainstream Western arguments about international conflict, and of their complementary constructivist demands for appropriate learningâŚHe serves to demystify the applicability of mainstream international relations theory for understanding major conflicts in the Global South, and between the South and the West. His book thus makes an important contribution to the deconstruction of a dominant discourse which has its origin in the unipolar power politics of the post-Cold War world system"- Comparative Journal (Germany)
334:âThe most original and innovative contribution of Prof. B. M. Jainâs book is his ground-breaking effort to develop and sharpen the theory of geopsychology as an alternative framework of analysis in the study of international relations. His conceptual insights not only help us navigate the stormy ocean of mounting challenges and threats that the world is now facing, but also throw light on the evolving patterns of congruence and disjuncture, and ambiguity and contradiction, in contemporary global power encountersâ- Journal of Global South Studies (USA)

Apart from the case studies mentioned in the book, this framework can be used to understand bilateral relations in Northeast Asia, such as Japanese-Korean ties and Chinese-Japanese ties"- Pacific Affairs (Canada)
