Synopsis The phenomenal dawn and ongoing developments of the 21 century bear the testimony that, following the reverberations of ending cold war and bipolarism, India has been faced with a number of marked shifts, adjustments, readjustments and adaptations in her security perspectives and imperatives. Meanwhile, induced by the necessity to strike a reasonable balance between the traditional and relatively newer conceptions of national security in a fragile world, India faces numerous threats and challenges of harmful nature, particularly during the post-Kargil strategic scenario, nuclear and other developments in South Asia. The rich and varied ensemble of thoughtful papers contained in this book illustrates the above-mentioned general trends alongwith a specific focus on India’s national security in the new millennium. As such, this book serves two useful purposes. Firstly, it induces the germination of newer perspectives of India’s security in the foreseeable future. Secondly, it offers a fresh approach to revisit older issues with a sense of urgency for conflict resolution and national security management in the over all politico-strategic scenario of south Asia. It also lends credence to security as a core concept of Strategic Studies in modern times.
