The book covers challenges ahead for India’s security policy: meeting strategic challenges, responding to the challenges of globalisation; managing non-traditional critical issues such as human security, food, water, energy, environment and missiles development; and evolving a national consensus on constituents of India’s national interest. The contributions by scholars and experts cover various aspects of India’s engagement with the major global and regional powers of the world. They study some key national security concerns for India like Naxalism and terrorism. They deal with India’s ties with its neighbours including China, Pakistan, Myanmar and Afghanistan, throwing light on various issues that have implication for India’s security including confidence building measures in the ties. With data to showcase the security scenario in detail, they delve into India’s Look East policy, China’s water diversion, and presence of global and regional powers in Central Asia.
