Contemporary Strategic Concerns: Making India’s Presence Felt

The volume reverberates essentially one strategic theme, i.e., India is poised to become a global leader, and currently a prominent rising power which has set very high benchmarks in many domains. The maturity of its political system, resilience of its economic framework, age-old social fabric, its ‘emerging power’ status, etc. make it a country of great interest for policymakers, researchers and scholars around the world. But while many of India’s threats and conflicts are strategized and discussed within the confines of security and strategic studies within the conventional international relations perspectives, many less visible challenges emerge, impacting significantly India’s unity and integrity. The attempt therefore is to probe how to make sense of the roots of those strategic concerns and amicably address them. The volume incorporates a range of contemporary concerns national security encompassing comprehensive national security and human security; Foreign policy including bilateral and multilateralism; Global concerns involving energy security, migration, multilateral grouping, etc.
