Brief Note about the volume on National Security
The volume will project a multifaceted, multi-dimensional,
interdisciplinary view on National Security. First, it will define the
comprehensive nature of national security and define the long-term
national goals and interests. Second, it will identify the threats posed
to these interests both from forces within and without.
Thus it will discuss the emergence of fissiparous tendencies due to
faulty economic and fiscal policies i.e. the inter-states regional
imbalances and the intra-state regional imbalances in economic
development.
Language as a divisive factor, the emergence of cultural
sub-nationalism, social fabric and religious / caste milien, and the
changing demographic profile in the coastal and border areas. Secondly,
it will discuss the threat perceptions to India.
Thirdly, it will discuss the role of diplomacy with reference to
national security. This shall include a discussion on the present Nature
of India's foreign policy towards various global and regional power
blocs as well as towards our immediate neighbours and identity the scope
for improvement in the future and the limitations thereof.
Fourthly, it will debate the various aspects of National Security Policy
Planning in India and the adequacy or otherwise of the present National
security approach including the Armed forces, Paramilitary forces etc.
It will also discuss Civil Defence measures, civil-military relations
etc., and above all the role of intelligence.
