4.1 The dawn of the railway development in Thailand Territory, technology, and money To put it bluntly, the birth of the railway development in Siam walked hand in hand with the emergence of modernized Siam, which has consisted of two characteristics: territorialized nation-state and capitalist economy. Several studies, for example, Holm (1991), Chaiyan (1994), and Kakizaki (2005) which conclude that the newly-built railway system was concomitantly a tool of the Thai state in centralizing power
there was been a range of historiographical debate on its validity and usefulness when used to explain British expansion in the nineteenth and early twentieth century. This essay acknowledges both sides of the argument, but will state that despite some historiographical debate on the contrary, the concept of ‘informal empire’ possesses more strengths than weaknesses when understanding British imperialism. This essay will disregard Platt and Lynn’s argument that Britain didn’t actually want an ‘informal
social relations by which further privatisation is developed. The current wave of privatisation may have started with the sale of property, as seen with council housing during the early 1980s in Britain, and state-owned corporations, such as British Telecom and British Gas, but it is now embedded in the modernisation and transformation of all public services in Great Britain.

After Independence the Government of India adopted LAA 1894. The law was placed in the concurrent list i.e., both Centre and State could make laws governing land acquisition.

Shiv Sena and MNS played an important role in the renaming of important British architectural structures to regional names on account of Marathi Nationalism. Victoria Terminus became Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (Railway Station) and Sahara International Airport became Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport. The extent to which these political parties publicly rejected any foreign influence
opposed each other in 1789 have never really gone away. Part of his thesis is that a predisposition to conflict and against compromise has made it harder for the French (than for the British) to create a suitable political and economic system for modern day society. Here I am less convinced that Moynahan has made his case. Yes, the shadow of the Bastille and all its associations still hangs heavy over France, and, yes, the French may be more prone to ideological division, between establishment and rebels
INTRODUCTION Foreign Policy is a country’s strategy in dealing with other nations. It is an action plan that establishes a systematic way of addressing issues that come up in a nation’s dealings with other states. (Gyngell, Wesley, 2007) prefers to describe foreign policy using metaphors. He argues that foreign policy is a self-contained system that reacts to stimuli in the external environment, consumes resources and produces actions and decisions as outputs back into an external chamber.

The authority and legitimacy of modern nation states has come under a severe challenge as a result of rising trends in terrorism. Confronted with one of the most brutal forms of violence, a suitable or adequate response to terrorism is still to be framed, even as a proper context of evaluation and a sufficient understanding of its causation and methodology remain elusive.
