This edited volume critically examines the concept of the "security
dilemma" and applies it to India-China maritime competition. Though
frequently employed in academic discussion and popular commentary
on the Sino-Indian relationship, the term has rarely been
critically analysed. The volume addresses the gap by examining
whether the security dilemma is a useful concept in explaining the
naval and foreign policy strategies of India and China. China's
Belt and Road Initiative and its expansive engagement in the Indian
Ocean Region have resulted in India significantly scaling up
investment in its navy, adding ships, naval aircraft and
submarines. This volume investigates how the rivalry is playing out
in different sub-regions of the Indian Ocean, and the responses of
other powers, notably the United States and prominent Southeast
Asian states. Their reactions to the Sino-Indian rivalry are an
underexplored topic and the chapters in this book reveal how they
selectively use that rivalry while trying to steer clear of making
definite choices. The book concludes with recommendations on
mitigating the security dilemma. This work will be of great
interest to students of strategic studies, international relations,
maritime security, and Asian politics.

This book examines India's naval strategy within the context of
Asian regional security. Amidst the intensifying geopolitical
contestation in the waters of Asia, this book investigates the
growing strategic salience of the Indian Navy. Delhi's expanding
economic and military strength has generated a widespread debate on
India's prospects for shaping the balance of power in Asia. This
volume provides much needed texture to the abstract debate on
India's rise by focusing on the changing nature of India's maritime
orientation, the recent evolution of its naval strategy, and its
emerging defence diplomacy. In tracing the drift of the Navy from
the margins of Delhi's national security consciousness to a central
position, analysing the tension between its maritime possibilities
and the continentalist mind set, and in examining the gap between
the growing external demands for its security contributions and
internal ambivalence, this volume offers rare insights into India's
strategic direction at a critical moment in the nation's evolution.
By examining the internal and external dimensions of the Indian
naval future, both of which are in dynamic flux, the essays here
help a deeper understanding of India's changing international
possibilities and its impact on Asian and global security. This
book will be of much interest to students of naval strategy, Asian
politics, security studies and IR, in general.
The Merlion and the Ashoka: Singapore-India Strategic Ties examines
the historical evolution and future prospects of the strategic and
defence ties between these two nations. India, which considers
Singapore to be one of its closest partners in Southeast Asia, has
offered Singapore unprecedented access to training facilities,
including basing equipment on Indian soil. In turn, Singapore has a
close defence dialogue at various levels with India and active
military cooperation at the tactical and operational levels. How
did the two countries attain such an unprecedented level of defence
cooperation and what were the challenges they had to overcome?
Combining perspectives from policy-makers, academics and military
officers, this book examines different aspects surrounding this
question. While exploring the future trajectory of Singapore-India
relations, it makes recommendations on how to enhance this
strategic partnership.

This book is an analytical examination of financing and public
service delivery challenges in a decentralized framework. It also
provides critical insights into the effectiveness of public
expenditure, through benefit incidence analysis of education and
healthcare services in India. The benefits of decentralization
always come with conflicts and trade-offs. By unpacking the process
of decentralization, the authors identify that 'unfunded mandates',
arising from the asymmetry between finances and functions at local
levels, are a major challenge. The analysis is carried out by
distilling the existing studies in this area, and through an
empirical investigation of public finance data at different public
sector levels in India, as well as in some selected developing
countries. Using the household survey statistics of consumption
expenditure, an analysis of utilization or benefit incidence of
public spending on social sectors in India is achieved, covering
education and health sectors. This title is available as Open
Access on Cambridge Core.
