"India's Rise as an Asian Power" examines India's rise to power
and the obstacles it faces in the context of domestic governance
and security, relationships and security issues with its South
Asian neighbors, and international relations in the wider Asian
region. Instead of a straight-line projection based on traditional
measures of power such as population size, economic growth rates,
and military spending, Sandy Gordon's nuanced view of India's rise
focuses on the need of any rising power to develop the means to
deal with challenges in its domestic, neighborhood (South Asia),
and regional (continental) spheres.
Terrorism, insurgency, border disputes, and water conflict and
shortages are examples of some of India's domestic and regional
challenges. Gordon argues that before it can assume the mantle of a
genuine Asian power or world power, India must improve its
governance and security; otherwise, its economic growth and human
development will continue to be hindered and its vulnerabilities
may be exploited by competitors in its South Asian neighborhood or
the wider region. This book will appeal to students and scholars of
India and South Asia, security studies, foreign policy, and
comparative politics, as well as country and regional
specialists.
