• W2615273366 abstract "Yogendra Kumar, Diplomatic Dimension of Maritime Challenges for India in the 21st Century, (New Delhi, Pentagon Press, 2015), Pages: 272, Price: Rs 995.00Political leaders, journalists and scholars disagree when it comes to interpreting the defining characteristic of the 21st century. It has been depicted differently: 'China's century', 'India's century', 'Asia's century', and 'Afro-Asian century'. According to Admiral R.K. Dhowan, Indian Naval Chief, the current century is 'the century of the Seas', and India is 'a maritime nation with a direct relationship to the Seas'.The author of the book under review would agree readily. He is convinced about the vital importance of maritime challenges faced by India in the present century. He has, therefore, produced a full-length book focusing on the theme's diplomatic dimension, set in the larger context of global geopolitics and the complex transition unfolding at present. The author is well equipped for the task, having served as the Indian envoy in three different regions - East Asia (Philippines), Central Asia (Tajikistan) and Africa (Namibia). His stint in the Ministry of External Affairs, dealing with multilateral organisations has further helped. This book project has been supported by the National Maritime Foundation (NMF), the premier think tank specialising in naval matters.The book's nine chapters ranging from 'Introduction' to 'Conclusion' cover all possible facets of the chosen subject. Substantively, it begins with analysing the evolution of maritime thinking and diplomatic dimension for the period 1949-91. Thereafter, it moves to shed light on the international security milieu post-Cold War and India's national objectives. It then focuses on the post-Cold War international maritime milieu and the role of our maritime agencies.In the chapter entitled 'India's Mutating Maritime Challenges in the 21st Century', the author presents informed glimpses of what the world should expect in the future. His analysis of future trends in naval and air warfare, cyber conflict and security, space security, terrorism and a whole host of non-traditional security threats is realistic. His pen-picture of international governance issues is relevant. In the chapter prior to 'Conclusion', he offers a set of well thought-out policy recommendations for India's maritime diplomacy in the future.Throughout its history, India has enjoyed a close relationship with the oceans. Its sailors, traders and adventurers leftfootprints in places as far away as the Mediterranean in the west, Africa's eastern and southern coasts, and Java and Bali in the east. 'India's maritime history is as old as India's history', writes the author. He notes, that at independence Jawaharlal Nehru's wise leadership was available to the nation. He was a statesman, deeply conscious of the significance of the Indian Ocean for India. K.M. Panikkar, a leading strategic thinker, pronounced in 1951 that India's future was 'closely bound up with the strength she is able to develop gradually as a naval power....' Yet, a strange 'sea-blindness' descended on policymakers for about three decades, with New Delhi constrained to deepen its land-centric focus in view of existentialist threats from Pakistan and China. In 1950, the Indian navy received four per cent of the defence budget and was dismissed as India's 'Cinderella service'.The above scene began to change quickly, once the British navy started its withdrawal from much of Asia by the mid-1970s. This paved the way for dominance by the US navy and its rivalry with Soviet naval forces. The Indian Ocean countries, together with India, rode on the bandwagon of the 'Zone of Peace' proposal, with very little actual impact. However, New Delhi did see the writing on the wall. It started programmes to strengthen the navy and allowed it to play a notable role during the 1980s in Sri Lanka and Maldives as well as initiating cooperation with Seychelles and others. …" @default.
