National Security Management in Federal Structures: Perspectives from India and the United States
Giới thiệu về sách điện tử này
For the last two decades, the international community has been concerned by the emergence of non-state actors waging war against the state in ways hitherto unknown in conventional warfare. Widespread transnational terrorism and other anti-national movements have spurred the need to reconcile national security concepts and perspectives, in order to enable domestic development, growth and harmony.
India has been a victim of various kinds of security threats, both internal and external. The United States of America has also faced major security threats, which reached new proportions with the terrorist attacks of 9/11. In strategic terms, international cooperation is vital to fight terrorism. India and the USA, being among the world’s largest democracies with strong federal structures, have great potential to work together and collaborate effectively to combat such threats.
With these considerations in mind, the CPPR-Centre for Strategic Studies decided to conduct its first international conference on ‘’National Security Management in Federal Structures: Perspectives from India and the United States.’’ The focus was on the federal framework of the two countries and the best way forward to tackle security issues in the emerging political and economic scenarios at the federal level.
The themes and deliberations of this conference highlighted the significance of national security in federal structures. The participants examined current Indo-US policies and threw light on new security dimensions, both from an academic as well as a practitioner’s perspective. This book is a compilation of the resource proceedings of the Conference which has been contributed by eminent strategists, academicians, policy makers etc.

The Centre for Public Policy Research (CPPR), an independent, non-profit think-tank established in 2004, is working towards a socially just and democratic secular society. Since its inception, CPPR has been in the forefront of collecting and analyzing ground data from regional and global perspectives reflecting socio-cultural milieus rich in diversity and pluralism.
In keeping with these traditions, CPPR launched its focus study centre, the CPPR-Centre for Strategic Studies in August 2013. The CSS is an interdisciplinary academic study centre focusing on strategic positioning and policy making in the South Asian region. Special attention is given to the relationship between politics, geography and natural resources, economics, military power, and the role of intelligence, diplomacy, international cooperation for security and defence.
Important fields of research include energy and maritime security, strategy, terrorism, inter-state and inter-country cooperation and extremism. Developing resources and building expertise on matters relating to national security, Centre-State relations and responsibilities, surveillance and security systems are also key areas of focus.
The Centre plans to organise national and international seminars, workshops and conferences on the emerging themes within its domain. By organising its first international conference less than four months after its establishment, The CPPR-Centre for Strategic Studies is taking its first step towards the larger goal of conducting regional and global strategic reviews and reshaping perceptions on global politics and strategy.
