Summary/Abstract |
Strange enough, Kautilya's Arthashastra, a classic work of political theory and statecraft, has remained on the sidelines of the political science and strategic discourse not only in the West, but even in India itself. How does modern India relate to Kautilya? We investigate first Nehru's 'special relationship' to Kautilya and then turn to the mainly 'latent presence' of Kautilyan thought among the political, academic and strategic elites of today's India-using Bourdieu's concept of 'habitus'. We also look into the peculiar constellation of social science schools which has tended to inhibit an active, but critical, engagement with Kautilyan thought. Lastly, we show indications pointing an active 're-use' of endogenous politico-cultural resources-including Kautilya-in India. This trend should be seen in the context of India's rise in the multipolar world which also entails the need to articulate a soft power stance based on endogenous politico-cultural resources.

Summary/Abstract |
In the Kautilya-Arthashastra, espionage and other 'operational' activitiesof the secret service-notably 'active measures' and 'covert action'-are addressed often and in detail. In contrast, Kautilya seems to sayvery little about intelligence analysis, assessment and estimates whichprovide the basis of strategic planning and grand strategy-and arekey components of statecraft. However, the central proposition of thisarticle is that 'ideas' (or meanings) underlying these modern intelligenceterms are very much present in the Arthashastra. Moreover, Kautilyadoes submit key methodological and theoretical ideas and conceptsfor intelligence analysis, assessment, estimates and strategic planning.Therefore, the Kautilya-Arthashastra is quite relevant for the history ofideas of the political science sub-discipline, intelligence studies.
