Challenging the view that by developing a favourable environment alone, India could seek to maintain its balance of power with China, it is argued that despite durable bilateral security ties with most regional states, India's maritime aspirations to be the primary net security provider for the region are unsustainable in the long term.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book presents a comprehensive coverage of India's bilateral maritime security engagements with all the Indian Ocean regional states, as well as the US, France, UK and Russia. As such, it will be useful to students and scholars of Indian and South Asian politics, international relations and maritime security. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shishir Upadhyaya\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 036702814X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367028145\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/10\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.30w x 0.70d","brand":"Shishir Upadhyaya","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086494511359,"sku":"9780367028145","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9c8ef9b0-5d86-4465-b68c-f4ada1a36a38.jpg?v=1769094989","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/indias-maritime-strategy-shishir-upadhyaya-9780367028145","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
