Going by all estimates, this is going to be an Asia-centred
century. Indeed, a shift of global power is under way from West to
East. The rise of China and India, the recovery and resurgence of
Russia on one side, and Japan, on the other, and the nature of the
international order are leading to enormous changes. These
transformational changes in the military, economic, social and
political dynamics of Asia will only accelerate with the passage of
time. Historically, changes in the international order and
equations of power among nations have been almost inevitably
accompanied by conflicts and wars. The challenge ahead, therefore,
for the international community in general, and the Asian countries
in particular, is to ensure that this is avoided, and competition,
which is inevitable, is managed without escalating to the level of
armed conflict. This is crucial for most countries, and especially
so for India so that its pursuit of comprehensive national
development can progress without adverse distractions. In order to
work toward such goals, it is necessary to look at security and
military-related issues as objectively as possible. It is with this
objective in view that the Centre for Air Power Studies has been
bringing out the Asian Defence Review. This volume, a resource base
for both the professional and the general readers, is the eighth in
the series under this title, which aims to fill a critical
information and knowledge gap in current strategic literature
dealing with military strategy, defence politics and trends in
military capabilities that impact countries in Asia. In particular,
it covers some of the important issues that affect the Asian
countries, including those related to air power, outer space,
Pakistan, China, cruise missiles and sea-based deterrence.
