Abstract
There are various actors in the International System, amongst them the states are important actors having different capabilities such as of a super power, great powers, middle powers as well as dependencies based on Realist approach.

Abstract
In International Relations, there is a unique importance of the development of states discussed with various approaches. All these various perspectives have been defining the idea of development in terms of economic aspect. There is no clear upper limit of development so far discussed by any of the perspectives. This idea seems incomplete and can be discussed with Indic perspective of Advaita Vedanta and make the concept of Development or Vikas which is purna or sampurna/samagra. The perspective of Vedanta is about the purnata, (completeness). This paper is an attempt to understand and find out the path to achieve Purna Vikas of individuals as well as all the actors of the International System.
Abstract
Power gives the capability to the actors of the International System to play their roles and games in the World. However, the Indic perspective of Shakti is much more than what we know about Power. This Concept of Shakti may widen the scope of the study of International Relations which includes the meanings of Shakti with the existing meaning of power and the types of Shakti. Adi Shankaracharyaji’s Bhasya on Lalita Trishati is a Panchdasi mantra. This Panchdasi mantra reveals the five basic elements- Space, Air, Fire, Water and Earth’s formation. This paper aims to bring a balance in the existing World through the Concept of Shakti by discussing the policies based on the five basic elements keeping in mind the sustainable development and addressing the issue of Climate Change
