| Download PSIR & GS2 Daily Brief- 1 -May-2026 Today’s brief covers three themes: Adam Smith and today’s deglobalising world, the Iran war and Gulf fragility, and India’s demographic dividend. The first article by Anil Kumar Kanungo helps us to understand market, state and globalisation in context of Adam Smith’s views. Shashi Tharoor’s article highlights the importance of West Asia and how it is directly linked to India’s economy and society. The third article by Apoorva Jadhav reminds us that India’s demographic dividend will be decided not by numbers, but by governance. UPSC has previously asked questions on these themes: GS-II 2025 on energy security in India’s Middle East policy; GS-III 2025 on maritime security for sea trade via Gulf ports; PSIR 2025 on trade, WTO, and Global South; and PSIR 2023 on India-Iran relations and the West Asia Quad. | Click Here to Download |
In a world where political developments evolve rapidly and international dynamics shift constantly, staying informed is essential for every serious student of Political Science and International Relations (PSIR). The PSIR & GS2 Daily Brief is an initiative designed to bridge the gap between daily news events and their deeper theoretical, conceptual, and analytical relevance within the PSIR syllabus.
This daily brief provides a structured and comprehensive analysis of important national and international developments through the lens of political theory, comparative politics, Indian politics, and international relations.
Rather than merely reporting events, it seeks to explain why these developments matter, how they connect with core PSIR concepts, and what implications they hold for academic understanding and examination preparation.
By consistently engaging with daily events in a concept-oriented manner, the PSIR Daily Brief aims to cultivate a habit of critical thinking and informed interpretation of contemporary politics.
This initiative ultimately aspires to transform everyday news into meaningful academic insight– making PSIR not just a subject to study, but a framework to understand the world.
