The volume presents various perspectives on India’s role in the context of Asian security. It takes up issues like major power rivalries, tensions over disputed territories, freedom of Sea Lanes of Communications, security dilemmas connected to military modernisation, robustness of regional institutional mechanisms, and India’s strategic partnerships and the ‘big power’ status it hopes to have. It also examines perspectives of major actors like the US, Russia, China and India on Asian regional order: whether they view it as purely competitive or cooperative-competitive. The authors deal with the importance of connectivity via road and rail, and information infrastructure, linking them to aspects of Asian geopolitics. They scrutinise the challenges for India in the future and provide ideas on how Asian security may shape up.
