Beskrivning
India has long been motivated to modernize its military, and it now has the resources. But so far, the drive to rebuild has lacked a critical component—strategic military planning. India's approach of arming without strategic purpose remains viable, however, as it seeks great-power accommodation of its rise and does not want to appear threatening. What should we anticipate from this effort in the future, and what are the likely ramifications? Stephen Cohen and Sunil Dasgupta answer those crucial questions in a book so timely that it reached number two on the nonfiction bestseller list in India.""Two years after the publication of Arming without Aiming, our view is that India's strategic restraint and its consequent institutional arrangement remain in place. We do not want to predict that India's military-strategic restraint will last forever, but we do expect that the deeper problems in Indian defense policy will continue to slow down military modernization.""—from the preface to the paperback edition

Recensioner i media

"Cohen and Dasgupta argue that India lacks a security strategy and hence a rudderfor its military modernization.... If they are right, India is on track to violate therule that rising affluence brings rising military power." — Foreign Affairs|"This cautionary tale will be required reading for all those concerned about Indiandefense policy and military modernization." —Ashley Tellis, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace|"Cohen's unmatched four decades' experience, studying and writing on Indiansecurity issues, gives this book an exceptional degree of feel for the ground. Thebook has come at a time when a serious and more participative discussion on theissues flagged in it is badly needed." — Economic and Political Weekly (India)
