This book is about the strategic relevance of quantum technologies.
It debates the military-specific aspects of this technology.
Various chapters of this book cohere around two specific themes.
The first theme discusses the global pattern of ongoing civilian
and military research on quantum computers, quantum cryptography,
quantum communications and quantum internet. The second theme
explicitly identifies the relevance of these technologies in the
military domain and the possible nature of quantum technology-based
weapons. This thread further debates on quantum (arms) race at a
global level in general, and in the context of the USA and China,
in particular. The book argues that the defence utility of these
technologies is increasingly becoming obvious and is likely to
change the nature of warfare in the future.
This book explores the character and contours of the Asian Space
Powers. At present, Asian states like China, Japan and India are
found investing in space technologies with analogous social and
scientific and probably with divergent military intents. Other
Asian states like Israel, South Korea and Malaysia are also making
investments in the space arena. States like Iran and North Korea
are faulted for using space launches as a demonstrative tool to
achieve strategic objectives. This work examines this entire maze
of activities to unearth where these states are making these
investments to accomplish their state-specific goal or are they
also trying to surpass each other by engaging in competition.
Explaining why and how these states are making investments towards
achieving their socio-economic and strategic mandate this book
infers that the possibility of Asian Space Race exists but is
presently fairly diminutive.

The objective of the book is to find an answer to the rationale
behind the human quest for the Mars exploration. As a comprehensive
assessment for this query is undertaken, it is realized that the
basic question 'Why Mars?' seeks various responses from
technological, economic and geopolitical to strategic perspectives.
The book is essentially targeted to understand India's desire to
reach Mars. In the process, it also undertakes some implicit
questioning of Mars programmes of various other states essentially
to facilitate the setting up of the context for an assessment. The
book is divided into two parts: Part I: This covers both science
and politics associated with Mars missions in global scenario and
discusses the salient features of various Mars Missions undertaken
by various countries. Part II: This provides details in regards to
India's Mars Mission.
