Description

Chris Smith explores the evolution of Indian defence policy since 1947.

He looks carefully at the domestic dynamics of Indian defence policy.

This includes an in-depth analysis of the period 1947-62, which is often ignored by Indian defence analysts, and the performance of the defence industrial base.

He concludes that India's defence policy is designed more as one aspect of the quest for great power status than as an attempt to aquire security at an affordable price.
