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.
