Book Description
Security is an important component of the way international relations are played out. After independence in 1947, India followed a policy of non-alignment to protect and promote the interests of the newly born nation. India's security concerns at that time revolved around the threats emanating primarily from Pakistan, although China was also perceived as a threat to India's national security. However, the age of neo-liberal globalization has added additional dimensions to the conventional threats. In the post-Cold War period, the major security concern of India emanates from cross-border terrorism. The challenges posed by international terrorism, the global economic meltdown, and environmental degradation (including climate change) are also security concerns that India has to address seriously. The crisis in the energy sector is another major security challenge. On the domestic front, India faces many challenges including poverty, illiteracy, social and economic inequalities, communalism, regional imbalances, development-based displacement, etc. This book contains 21 research papers - authored by experts in various fields - that examine the various dimensions of India's security concerns and suggest appropriate policy formulations in this regard. The need for an out-of-the-box approach for ensuring security in its holistic dimension is emphasized. *** "Unlike other works in this genre, this book moves beyond a "realist" understanding of the Indian security situation. Rather, it tries to explore every avenue of cooperation available to India, within the region and outside of it, so as to cater to its mutifaceted demands for security. The authors also attempt to go beyond the currently-available options and create new possibilities for international cooperation." -- Exemplar: The Journal of South Asian Studies, Vol. 2, No. 2, Fall 2014

Book Description
This book gives readers an in-depth and up-to-date account of India’s external and internal threats in a deteriorating global security environment. It shows that while partnerships with some countries have strengthened, anxieties persist with others such as China and Pakistan. Similarly, India has not been able to cope with the challenges of internal security emerging from violence in Kashmir, insurgency in the north-east, to mention a few. Problems of global terrorism and global warming stare us in the face. Tensions between major powers, threats and counter-threats between major and middle powers, and international hotspots like Georgia and Afghanistan remind us that there is intense competition for strategic space. India as an upcoming power is treading its path carefully and is developing meaningful partnerships with all major powers. China’s reluctance to proceed further in resolving the boundary dispute with India, its reported incursions on the borders and its rapid military modernisation has caused anxiety in India. India is nevertheless upgrading its military capability to meet any Chinese threat. Pakistan’s lack of adequate action in punishing those responsible for the 26/11 Mumbai terrorist attack and its reluctance to destroy the infrastructure of terrorism in Pakistan has put a question mark on the future of India Pakistan relations. These and various other threats and challenges are discussed in this volume, latest in a unique series with contributions from academics, political commentators and military personnel.

Book Description
In this authoritative and comprehensive survey of the challenges a changing global security environment poses to India, former deputy national security advisor Arvind Gupta outlines the important aspects of the country's security apparatus and how they interface to confront internal and external conflicts. We have today a turbulent Middle East to the west; a rising and assertive China to the north; Pakistan in the grip of the military and the militants across our border and an increasingly militarizing Indian Ocean region surrounding us. Additionally, climate change, cyber security and the vulnerability of our space assets are major areas of concern. Anything that weakens a nation weakens its security, which makes the issues of food, water, health, economics and governance critically significant. Arvind Gupta draws on his long experience in these areas to argue that instead of tactical remedies, a strategic, coherent, institutional approach is needed to deal with these challenges. Strengthening the National Security Council, for instance, could be one way forward. How India Manages Its National Security explains with great clarity and thoroughness the concept and operation of India's national security apparatus. This book will be of great interest to practitioners, analysts and laymen alike and offer an important voice in the discussion on how national security challenges should be resolved in the decades to come.

Book Description
In this pioneering study, Sushma Devi explores the place of cybersecurity within the larger international debate on security issues. She argues that it is important to begin placing cybersecurity in the context of national security matters since the issues are most often relegated to technology debates. *National Security in the Digital Age *argues that cyber threats can be viewed as national security matters and therefore should be relevant to the security studies field and should be analyzed using security studies theories. It also highlights the policy and institutional responses to cybersecurity challenges undertaken by the government of India. Unexplored security issues frequently identified in the world today, including those in a critical region of international conflict, are thus central to this book. The use of internet is rapidly expanding and has become the core component of everyday society. Yet easy access to data brings along severe security issues. The large number of attacks in recent years have had serious economic and social consequences, resulting in state officials all over the world acknowledging the importance of effective cybersecurity. Nevertheless, implementing effective measures to secure cyberspace remains difficult. A cyber threat has the potential to breach all levels of security very quickly due to the speed with which actions can occur and the extent of our interconnectedness. For a geopolitical realist, states play a central role in addressing cyber threats to national security because they remain the actors with the power and authority to improve defenses against most existential cyber threats. While private sector actors in most countries are critical to security in cyberspace, the threat agents can be criminals, hackers, terrorists, and nation-states. The potential victims at risk from these threats are equally diverse. Threat actors often target personal information to commit fraud, an act that can, in the inter-connected world of cyberspace, make all individuals in a nation potential victims. Herein lies the complexity of analyzing the inflow/outflow of information across borders and the ramification of this analysis for national security.

Book Description
India faces an array of national security challenges. Externally, they range from geopolitical tensions and territorial disputes with China and Pakistan, nuclear deterrence, and state-sponsored/backed cross-border terrorism to the internal security issues related to secessionism, counter-insurgency, Naxalism, and ethnic conflict. In recent decades, the national security agenda has been expanded to include issues related to economics, environment, development, and transnational criminal activities. More than two decades of rapid economic growth has also added energy security to the national security matrix. Concomitant with its economic rise, India's national security agenda also includes a more proactive vision for the wider Asian region, including the Indian Ocean, with implications for power projection, and for India's contributions to global peacekeeping missions through the United Nations. This handbook is the first comprehensive analysis of all these national security challenges, traditional and non-traditional, facing India. With contributions from some of the leading and rising scholars from across the world, the essays cover a wide range of topics and issues including the colonial legacy, realist/liberal/constructivist approaches to national security, India's wars, strategic culture, conventional military challenges including issues of military modernization and defence-industrial challenges, nuclear security, the role of space, cybersecurity, terrorism, insurgencies, the role of the intelligence agencies, civil-military relations, and the relationship between national security and state-making in India.
