Book Indian Defence Review Jan Mar Vol  29 1

Download or read book Indian Defence Review Jan Mar Vol 29 1 written by Lt Gen BS Pawar and published by Lancer Publishers LLC. This book was released on 2014-02-06 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indian Defence Review is a trusted, independent and comprehensive source of critical information and insight that is necessary for public debate and civil discourse on matters related to India’s defence and security, and defence industry. When important national security and defence issues arise, IDR is not only part of the conversation but also shapes the national debate. The Special DefExpo issue of IDR in print keeping the above in mind took stock of India’s abysmal conditions of the Indian defence industry. While Bharat Verma created a ‘Blue Print’ for laying down the foundations of a modern defence industry, David Oliver worked out an overall picture of defence industry worldwide post withdrawal of Western Forces from Afghanistan in 2014. The Indian soldier, sailor and airman does not get drowned by Defence Minister AK Antony’s rhetoric of indigenization as he is only interested in availability of the best weapon whether it is made in India, Japan, America or anywhere else. This helps him save lives, dominate the enemy space with adequate firepower and win the battle for the country. This issue of Indian Defence Review takes into consideration a wide variety of aspects in this respect. Lt Gen BS Pawar does a reality check on artillery modernization, while Admiral Randhawa takes a peak into design of amphibious warships. Gen Bajwa does a strategic audit of the mountain strike corps, while Group Capt AK Sachdev narrates the woes of India’s Military Helicopter Fleet. A host of international and national companies join up and give a update to their future programmes as they participate in DefExpo 2014. This issue therefore is a collector’s item.

Book Defenders of Japan

    Book Details:
  • Author : Garren Mulloy
  • Publisher : Oxford University Press
  • Release : 2021-12-01
  • ISBN : 0197644074
  • Pages : 259 pages

Download or read book Defenders of Japan written by Garren Mulloy and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-12-01 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Japan's post-war armed forces are a paradox, both embarrassing remnants of the past and valuable repositories of experience. This book charts the development of the Japan Self-Defense Forces (JSDF) from 1954 as both unorthodox military institutions and servants of a civil society that decries militarism. Investigating JSDF contributions to Japanese and global security, the evolution of such contributions during and after the Cold War, and their possible reconfiguration for Japan's security needs ahead, Garren Mulloy offers insight into the Forces' past, present and future. He explores the characteristics and contradictions of Japanese policy, including novel approaches in response to an increasingly assertive China, the latent threat of North Korea and contributory pressure from the US. Though the American alliance remains the core of Japanese security, new partnerships and international overtures will also shape the Forces' place in Prime Minister Abe's new vision of 'proactive contributions to peace'. Defenders of Japan deconstructs how the JSDF have adapted and will continue to adapt within domestic norms, caught between unresolved legacies of Japan's imperial past and a dynamically shifting balance of future global power.

Book War and Peace in Contemporary India

Download or read book War and Peace in Contemporary India written by Rudra Chaudhuri and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-29 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: War and Peace in Contemporary India examines the importance of institutions and the role played by international actors in crucial episodes of India’s strategic history. The contributions trace India’s tryst with war and peace from immediately before the foundation of the contemporary Indian state, to the last military conflict between India and Pakistan in 1999. The focus of the chapters included in this edited volume is as much on India as it is on Pakistan and China, its opponents in war. The chapters offer a fresh take on the creation of India as a regional military power, and her approach to War and Peace in the post-independence period. Importantly, it advances the broader work on Indian strategic history during the Cold War and after, an otherwise under-studied intellectual landscape. The book offers fresh insights based on archival work, as well as a closer conceptual reading of Indian, British and American decision making at times of war and peace in contemporary India. This book will be of great interest to scholars, researchers and students interested in strategic studies, diplomatic and military history, international diplomacy, as well as Indian history and politics. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Strategic Studies.
