Global security watch--India

Modern India is not only a quickly evolving economic power, but also a nuclear weapons state with the third-largest standing army in the world. How will India respond to pressure from China in their competition for resources and financial superiority? What will India seek from the United States and other major players in the international system? India is poised to join the major nations of the world as one of the next superpowers in the multipolar, 21st-century world. At the same time, it still faces significant domestic problems such as widespread poverty and public health issues, and faces considerable security challenges posed by China and Pakistan. Author Amit Gupta, PhD, an esteemed scholar and expert on foreign policy and weapons proliferation in South Asia, argues that India's quest to attain a superpower status will depend on how it develops its relationships with the other leading nations. Another determining factor for India's success lies in its ability to create a more advantageous security environment in the immediate Indian Ocean region. Global Security Watch-India tackles complex topics such as future Indian foreign and security policy options and the corresponding implications for U.S. policy, how the India-China relationship affects relations among other Asian countries, and the capabilities of the Indian military-industrial complex. --Back cover.
