The problem of internal security came to be addressed as a "security policy issue" in India only in the 1980s. This area is one of the important non strategic concerns of security policy. It presents the critical debates on the application of the principle of self-determination in its political, economic and socio-cultural dimensions. At the political level, it focuses on the degree of autonomy within the framework of national integration; at the economic level, the problem of decentralization of economic power; and at the socio-cultural level, the issue of the State and civil society. This book seeks to bring together a wide range of scholarship including those who have participated in policy making the policy implementation in the areas of Military, Police, Media Economics, Political Science, Non State Sector, etc. This book is an attempt to create a broad based understanding of the problem of internal security and the role of the state in India from an interdisciplinary perspective.
