Klappentext "India has long been motivated to modernize its military, and it now has the resources. But so far, the drive to rebuild has lacked a critical component?strategic military planning. India's approach of arming without strategic purpose remains viable, however, as it seeks great-power accommodation of its rise and does not want to appear threatening.

We do not want to predict that India's military-strategic restraint will last forever, but we do expect that the deeper problems in Indian defense policy will continue to slow down military modernization.""?from the preface to the paperback edition" Zusammenfassung India's approach of arming without strategic purpose remains viable! however! as it seeks great-power accommodation of its rise and does not want to appear threatening.
