India's National Security cover

This fourteenth volume of India’s National Security Annual Review intensively analyses India’s national security with respect to the changing internal and external dynamics.

In the global environment, the situation is characterised by rising tensions between United States and Russia, intensified rivalry between United States (US) and China, and increasing cooperation between China and Russia. For India which seeks peaceful growth to emerge as a major power, this poses severe diplomatic challenges. This volume discusses the complexity of these challenges and the deftness with which India gets the best out of its strategic partnerships with the US and Russia while warding off the transgressions of a mighty adversary like China. It also studies the impact of internal convulsions and external intrusions on India’s security from South Asian nations such as Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka.

Examining the field of internal security, the essays carry rare insights into the causes of expansion of Naxalite violence in tribal areas and the dynamics of conflict resolution in the Northeast, as well as India’s deep concern as a growing power with its economic slowdown in the recent past, and energy and cyber security.

Bringing together contributions from eminent scholars and diplomats, the volume will be indispensable for policymakers, government think tanks, defence and strategic studies experts, as well as students and researchers of international relations, foreign policy and political science.

The book fulfils an important requirement for comprehensive expert-assessment of ongoing events on an annual basis, and will enhance its reader’s understanding of national security issues significantly. — Admiral R. K. Dhowan, Chief of Naval Staff, Indian Navy

The book has established itself as a leading think-tank with an incisive analysis and publication of important global and national events. The articles present a concise view of these events and their implications for national security. — Air Chief Marshal Arup Raha, Chief of Air Staff, Indian Air Force

It is indeed a comprehensive coverage of all issues impacting India's National Security currently: a very useful volume for strategists, policy advocates and policy makers. — General V. P. Malik, Former Chief of Army Staff, Indian Army

This volume isthe only one of its kind. It is certainly an important contribution to the literature on the subject.— Narendra Sisodia, Former Director-General, Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses, New Delhi

These volumes are an invaluable source of information and analysis on National Security issues. The articles written by the best minds in India offer deep insights. Members of the strategic community should find this publication extremely useful. — Rahul Bedi, India Correspondent, Jane’s Defence Weekly
