    Security is a wide concept that has multiple dimensions that pertain not only to national security but also become an essential factor for human well being and progress. A range of threats to the survival and development of people, societies, and the global communities is now included in the ambit of discussions on security.

    SERENDIPITY AND THE AMERICAN DREAM: United States` Foreign Policy in a Changing Global Order

    0

    The academic work is a scholarly attempt to wade into the dynamics of the American Dream and US Foreign Policy. The Book hews an interesting and innovative narrative to initiate a sympathetic and rational approach and outlook towards the American nation, its people, its establishment, and finally its cultural constructs such as Cinema, Literature and its entire national entourage. The narrative insinuates towards Hollywood`s prime time constructs and comic genres such as the Super heroes and iconography in order to drive home the point of the grandiloquent American dream which has always been a contested nomenclature and trajectory. The narrative also weaves a transnational oeuvre for US foreign policy attempting broad sections on India, South America, West Asia and landmark American interventions such as Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan vis-a vis, the American Overarch and its hyper puissance in the larger international system harking back to the historical underpinnings of the nation`s Founding fathers.

    Strategic Discourse on The People`s Republic of China: Military, Power and Politics

    0

    The People’s Republic of China (PRC) is India’s powerful neighbor since the first year of 1950’s. Before that, without prejudice to the issue of its status of sovereignty or Chinese suzerainty, Tibet had de facto fulfilled the role. That fact of past unfamiliarity with Chinese way of politico-diplomatic expressions, aided by China’s unilaterally adopted adversarial posture towards India, makes it imperative for India’s strategic community to study China’s moves very carefully, and draw conclusions for the purpose of managing the strained relationship. This book is a compilation of such observations, analyses and inferences.

    TERRORISM TODAY: Aspects, Challenges and Responses

    0

    Terrorism did not begin with 26/11 or even 9/11. However, the massive investments made by different countries for its eradication seem to have yielded only sub-optimal results. From Paris to Pathankot, acts of terror continue to cause havoc throughout the world. Diverse groups like the Boko Haram compete with those like the Lashkar-e-Taiba in causing mayhem. The rise of the Islamic State presents a unique case of a proto-state established and run by a terrorist organisation, which combines public brutality with revenue-generating activities to emerge as the face of global terror today.

    Terrorism Today: Aspects, Challenges and Responses is the outcome of an international Counter-Terrorism Conference convened by the India Foundation at Jaipur in March 2015. It brings together a wide variety of scholars, practitioners, analysts and policymakers to help in a better understanding of the phenomenon of terrorism and the way forward.

    The Concept of Active Defence in China`s Military Strategy

    0

    China’s Rise is driven by the self-fulfilling prophecy of the Chinese Dream of “great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation”—A strong country with a strong Army! Beijing`s economic miracle has translated into a call for military preparedness guided by the logic of  “fight and win”. Wherein, China’s quest lies in perfecting the art of being ‘combat-ready’ with the aim of making the People’s Liberation Army a “World-Class Military”.

    The Lurking Hydra: South Asia`s Terror Travail

    0
    Of all challenges that dog human security the world over terrorism is perhaps the most pernicious. Spreading its toxic tentacles worldwide, the cumulative effect on overall lives of teeming masses especially in India`s South Asian neighbourhood is telling. In this book, Lt.Gen. Subroto Mitra, offers an incisive account of not only the origins of terrorism in this significant world region but also traces the journey each of the SAARC nations have traversed facing this menace.
    He observes the faultlines in each country`s reaction to terror taking root and entrenching itself. More importantly he examines recent developments to underline the debilitating effect the issue has had on the political, economic, social and even regional levels. He also makes country-wise recommendations to counter terrorism from a holistic point of view. Here, Gen. Mitra is certain that regional cooperative mechanisms be strengthened and new avenues for joint action, forged.

    UNCLOS: Solutions for Managing the Maritime Global Commons

    0

    With increased economic activities and shifting of global power axis, the 21st century will witness greater human interface with the oceans. While global powers may contest to dominate the waters essential for trade and sustenance, the emerging powers and rising economies will be aspiring for freedom of navigation to bolster their trade and economic independence. Consequently, there is potential for conflict and therefore greater need for laws and norms to govern the activities in the high seas. However, often the powerful nations do not completely abide by the idea of a rules based international order, especially, when it is against their perceived national interests. The contestation in South China Sea is a clear manifestation of this trend.

    VISION SAGAR: Indian Air Force in the Indian Ocean

    0
    The Indian Ocean and India have prodigious relationship. After all, this great Ocean is named after India (Oceanus Orientalis Indicus). Long before seafaring developed in the limited Aegean waters, oceanic navigation had become common with the coastal people of peninsular India. And ages before Columbus sailed across the Atlantic, the Indian Ocean had become an active thoroughfare of commercial and cultural traffic connecting India to many countries of the present-day Indian Ocean Region(IOR).
