Chinese Strategy and Military Modernization in 2015
Author: Anthony H. CordesmanPublisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1442259019
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 587
Book Description
China’s emergence as a global economic superpower, and as a major regional military power in Asia and the Pacific, has had a major impact on its relations with the United States and its neighbors. China was the driving factor in the new strategy the United States announced in 2012 that called for a “rebalance” of U.S. forces to the Asia-Pacific region. At the same time, China’s actions on its borders, in the East China Sea, and in the South China Sea have shown that it is steadily expanding its geopolitical role in the Pacific and having a steadily increasing impact on the strategy and military developments in other Asian powers.
India's Ad Hoc Arsenal
Author: Chris SmithPublisher: Stockholm International Peace Research Institute
ISBN: 9780198291688
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book 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.
