India-China Defence Cooperation and Military Engagement
Focus India-China Defence Cooperation and Military Engagement Rup Narayan Das* Defence cooperation and military engagement between India and China are aspects of the complex mix of conflict and cooperation approach to bilateral relations between the two Asian giants. It is based on the presumption that there is a security dilemma between the two countries. However, it recognises the framework and postulates of what is called cooperative security. Through the liberal institutionalist’s perspective, it argues that India-China defence cooperation and military engagement are not only possible but also desirable. For these two biggest developing nations of the world, peace and friendship between them are not only in their mutual interests, but also important for bringing peace, stability and prosperity to South Asia. Military engagements between countries across the world are increasingly becoming an important aspect of the bilateral relations between them. It is not only symbolic of maturing of their relationship but also builds trust and confidence between the defence forces which may prove useful during any joint military operation such as M fighting terrorism or natural disasters like flood and earthquake. Military engagement is possible when ilitary engagement thereand their is higher defence degree forces. of friendship If approaches and cooperation to study of is possible when atinternational the political politics level between and more the particularly two governments to study andthere cooperation is higher at thedegree political of friendship level of bilateral relationship between two countries can be broadly categorised as realists and liberal institutionalist, then advocates of Confidence Building Measures (CBMS) like defence cooperation theirbetween defence the two forces.

Asia-Pacific Security Dynamics in the Obama
Template: Royal A, Font: , Date: 09/04/2011; 3B2 version: 9.1.406/W Unicode (May 24 2007) (APS_OT) Dir: //integrafs1/kcg/2-Pagination/TandF/RITY/ApplicationFiles/9780415670548.3d Asia-Pacific Security Dynamics in the Obama Era This book examines the critical changes to the Asia-Pacific security architecture emerging in the context of shifts in the global order as the Obama Administra- tion’s major strategic innovation and likely legacy unfold. The author reviews the state of the international security system during the Obama presidency, recording the Administration’s Asia-Pacific inheritance, and tracing its efforts to chart a collaborative course aimed at retaining US primacy amidst strategic turbulence. While security discourses are coloured by relative US ‘decline’ and China’s ‘rise,’ the book points out the competitive-cooperative complexity of interactions, with symbiotic economic ties moderating rivalry. Focusing on the military-security cutting edge of Sino-US dynamics, the narrative outlines the dangers posed by extreme nationalist dialectics in an interdependent milieu. It examines the policies of Japan, Australia, India and Russia towards the evolving Sino-US diarchy, while recording Washington’s and Beijing’scon- trasting approaches to these allies and possible adversaries. The book concludes with observations on the loss of definition and clarity as the system evolves with multiple actors bidding for influence, and the need for statesmanship as the systemic fulcrum moves from the Atlantic to the Pacific. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of International Politics, Asian Politics, American Politics, International Security and International Relations. Dr S. Mahmud Ali is an Associate at the London School of Economics IDEAS East Asia International Affairs Programme.
