ABOUT THE BOOK
fjrigjwwe9r0pp_Books:Description
Does India have a ‘National Security Strategy’? How
does one understand India’s defence preparedness in the context of the three
services? The discourse on the making of a national security policy, its
political implications, linkages with foreign policy, the issues of
civil-military relations, defence research and development, and the role of the
State and participation of the private sector in defence production are
discussed in this volume. The two specific cases where the issue of defence
preparedness is critical, that of dealing with Pakistan and China are covered
in detail.
