The Book

The re-publication of these articles carried in the Strategic Analysis and the IDSA Journal in the 1965-85b phase, is an attempt to bring to the readers the early but still noteworthy writings of the scholars associated with the country’s premier strategic studies institute. Many of these are seminal contributions to the development of India’s strategic thought. The volumes in this series commemorate the 40th anniversary of the founding of the Institute. The articles are significant for their historical and intrinsic value, and will be useful for the larger international relations and security studies community, as well as the policy-makers.

This title has been published in association with The Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses.
