Chris Ogden
India is a country of increasing domestic complexity and mounting international importance. As she rises to prominence, this Oxford India Short Introduction provides an invaluable introduction to both the internal and external aspects of her national security. In an increasingly inter-dependent and globalizing world, appreciating the interests and principles structuring India’s national security has never been so important, in particular how they relate to inter-national security issues.

Description
In an increasingly interdependent and globalizing world, as India rises to prominence on the international platform, Indian National Security provides an invaluable introduction to both the internal and external aspects of the country’s national security.
Diverging from a purely traditional focus on borders, military power, internal stability, and protection against invasion, national security—in today’s times—encompasses tenets such as trade, energy, and environmental security. It further focuses upon critical infrastructure, food and water access, international diplomacy, and disaster and humanitarian relief. Such discourses demand the recognition of the threat posed by non-state actors, especially from terrorists, pirates, and transnational corporations. Embracing such a multifaceted analysis of national security also highlights the diverse challenges facing India, as also stresses the resulting impacts on India’s current global rise. This short introduction discusses all these vital aspects of India’s contemporary national security, and carefully details critical examples across its various dimensions.

Review
‘How a rising India secures its billion plus population from challenges—internal and external as well as traditional and non-traditional—is hugely consequential for the world. Chris Ogden provides an elegant and insightful introduction to the complex dynamic shaping India's national security policies. It is a necessary primer for anyone interested in contemporary India's nation building at home and expanding international role.’
—C. Raja Mohan, Director, Carnegie India, New Delhi
‘[I]f you want an intelligent overview of India’s national security, this dense, pithy volume is it. Ogden keys us into the framing, drivers, challenges, and instruments of traditional and non-traditional security with sophistication and good sense.’
—Kanti Prasad Bajpai, Wilmar Professor on Asian Studies, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore
‘[W]onderfully written with attention to detail without losing sight of the big picture, this volume will become the go-to book for students and scholars of Indian national security, and for indeed anyone with an interest in India as a rising power.’
—Manjeet S. Pardesi, Senior Lecturer in Political Science and International Relations, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand
‘India as a rising power has evoked enormous interest, but there has been little guidance available for the beginner. Chris Ogden fills a big gap in a unique fashion, employing a constructivist perspective in a literature dominated by standard realist approaches.’
—Rajesh Basrur, Professor of International Relations, S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
