In today’s world where security issues have become more complex than traditional security threats, this book is a timely and intellectually stimulating analysis of the changing world of global and national security. Contributions from distinguished scholars; military leaders and strategic thinkers critically discuss the multi-dimensional threats that are a growing part of the strategic environment in the twenty-first century. This book transcends the military framework and tackles various non-traditional security issues like artificial intelligence, cyber warfare, economic coercion, environmental degradation, water and energy security, maritime vulnerabilities, climate change, human security, social media manipulation and strategic diplomacy. The contributors illuminate these deeply interconnected challenges and demonstrate how they are reshaping the dynamics of statecraft, national resilience and global order through an exemplary interdisciplinary approach. This book offers a compelling analysis of emerging non-traditional security challenges and the changing character of conflict amid evolving strategic imperatives and complex geopolitical realities in an increasingly uncertain global order. The various chapters highlight the need for a new strategic architecture capable of addressing hybrid and other non-traditional threats that increasingly blur the distinctions between war and peace, military and civilian aspects and national and international security. Security Beyond the Battlefield is one of the significant works in this stream of thinking to redefine security in modern parlance and influences the conversation on new threats and strategic thinking in India and the world at large.
