Summary/Abstract |
As Condoleezza Rice was completing her term as secretary of state, she visited New Delhi, walked into the prime minister's living room, and "came face to face" with his national security advisor, M. K. Narayanan. India had recently experienced the horrendous terrorist attack in Mumbai, and Narayanan, Rice writes, "had the same shell-shocked look that I remembered seeing in the mirror after the attacks on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon." She took his hands and said, "It's not your fault… . I know how you feel. It's like being in a dark room with doors all around and knowing anything might pop out and attack again. But now you have to concentrate on preventing the next attack." Rice could not recall how Narayanan responded, but it didn't matter. "I was very much inside myself," she writes. "I was replaying those awful days in the wake of 9/11 that had from that time forward been September 12 over and over again. Nothing was ever the same… . Protest as you might to yourself, to the nation, and to the world, you never get over that feeling you could have done better. And you resolve never to let it happen again."1

Summary/Abstract |
According to the honest broker model, when national security advisors press for specific policy outcomes, they compromise their ability to focus on improving the quality of the decision- making process. That model is tested here in the case of the 2006 Iraq Strategy Review. It found that national security advisor Stephen Hadley was able to act as honest broker, and that this did in fact improve the quality of the decision process. At the same time, he was able to act as a policy entrepreneur, connecting existing problems to alternative policy ideas. Consequently the two roles were not incompatible. Moreover, he was able to do both primarily because he acted as a credible agent of the president. The implication is that the national security advisor must be first and foremost an effective presidential agent, if he or she is to play any constructive role-including that of honest broker.

Summary/Abstract |
In the backdrop of high expectations set by Narendra Modi before the General Elections, the government's inaction in the field of cyber security seems to be extremely disappointing. It is no secret that India has been far behind in enforcing a comprehensive policy related to cyber security. Last year, the National Cyber Security Policy was released by the then UPA government which listed a broad overview of the plan of action, but it failed to provide the roadmap for implementation. All eyes are now on the National Security Advisor Ajit Doval to see how he would deal with the issue.
