Abstract

The core of the debates on politics through times and regions is concerned with territories and exercise of power over the territories directed towards certain end(s). This is seen in the theories of Ancient India, of which Kautalya?s Arthashastra is but a representative literature. Much later in time, geopolitical theories in the west during the twentieth-century significantly highlighted this point. This study aims to understand geopolitics in the Indo-Pacific if Kautalya's ideas and geopolitical choice theories from the west are applied, then results of the study would be the same as has been affirmed in the opening sentences. Methodologically, the study, qualitative in approach though, looks at the data available in the secondary source materials to test if territories determine the power dynamics at a given point of time. Kautalya?s Arthashashtra offers a good theoretical insight that can explain the contemporary geopolitical structures and behavior of the states. The theory has scientific and empirical elements that can help explain issues of aggression, conflict and peace. Peace (Shamah) and conflict or war (Vigraha) are shaped by the inter-dependent factors, both, tangible and intangible, as well as, internal and external. While the study primarily explores ?the empirical? and ?the scientific? in Kautalya?s Arthashashtra, but takes the twentieth-century western geopolitical theories to develop parameters of testability of the theory

Abstract

In the era of digital transformation, rapid advancements in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) have transformed the paradigms through which government organizations create and share knowledge to ensure transparency and effective decision-making. This study evaluates the quality of knowledge management (KM) within public administration by assessing the extent, nature, and implications of WhatsApp usage for administrative learning and professional dissemination among 100 government officials in Delhi. Utilizing structured questionnaires and weighted mean score analysis, the findings reveal an exceptional level of digital familiarity (4.83) and a high frequency of usage (4.98), indicating that the platform has become a routine infrastructure for administrative coordination. The application is predominantly utilized for professional learning through organization specific updates (98%), office related resource sharing (93%), and administrative reminders (91%). Although the mean score of 2.83 suggests that digital engagement is strictly task oriented rather than for prolonged personal use, it facilitates a rapid information flow within the governance structure. Despite functional advantages such as quick response (90%) and remote access (97%), significant barriers to quality KM persist, including device storage limitations (80%) and a lack of formal institutional acceptance (71%). Furthermore, unregulated usage contributes to substantial work pressure (90%), stress (79%), and an imbalance between work and life (90%). These findings necessitate the implementation of structured communication guidelines to harmonize operational efficiency with employee well-being. This research contributes to digital governance frameworks by offering empirical insights into bridging the gap between widespread informal digital usage and the requirement for formal, regulated knowledge management practices within public institutions.
