Contemporary Debates in Indian Foreign and Security Policy - India Negotiates Its Rise in the International System - Harsh V. Pant - Paperback Bog -

Description

As a consequence of India''s attempts to carve out a foreign policy that is in sync with its rising stature in the international system, the country is dealing with a range of issues that are controversial but central to the future of Indian global strategy. These include India''s relations with the US; the idea of a strategic triangle involving Russia, China, and India; India''s nuclear doctrine and its impact on emerging civil-military relations; India''s position on the ballistic missile defense system; India''s relations with Iran and Israel; and India''s quest for energy security. On almost all these issues an intense debate exists in the Indian polity and the strategic community: how this debate resolves itself will in many ways determine the direction of Indian foreign policy for years to come.
