CentreforlandwarfarestudiesvictorythroughvisioncLAWsChina’s Great Game in the Gulf: Implications for IndiaManjari SinghAbstractChinese interaction with the Gulf started under Deng Xiaoping when its economy was opened and Beijing felt that it needs to interact with the outside world. China’s relations with Persian Gulf countries can be divided into three phases: one, wherein it first interacted amicably with the countries in the region in 1978; two, furthering of relations due to Chinese thirst for energy security and economic investments through BRI; and three, China’s extra-economic or strategic footprints in the Gulf. It is the last phase that will have some implications for India, thus is of much interest globally and in particular for New Delhi which has huge stakes in the region based on its own energy security, human security due to its 9.5-10 million strong diaspora and economic and trade investments. Therefore, the article argues that New Delhi should be watchful of Chinese intent with regard to the Gulf, though as of now it need not worry

Since Xi Jinping came to power, new concepts and ideas have come to define China’s polity. Of which, Military-Civil Fusion (MCF) is one of the significant concepts added to China’s national strategy with the aim to integrate the civilian research and commercial sectors with the military and defence industrial base. The MCF is integral to Xi’s vision of China Dream of building a strong country with a strong military by enabling the Military to harness the country’s rapid economic growth. Here, the quest lies in building capabilities in ‘dual-use’ technology and infrastructure to enhance China’s overall economic and military capability and secure China’s position vis-à-vis the West. The challenge for China is to match the speed and scope of the rapid technological pace to create fast or lose the ability to compete.

The Chinese arms industry today is the world’s second-largest producer of munitions. It has overtaken Russia in arms production, a country that was once a major supplier of arms to China. Currently, three of the world’s top 10 arms companies are Chinese. China is also becoming a significant exporter of arms around the world. It has emerged as a supplier of weapon platforms to over 50 countries, and is now the world’s fifth largest arms exporter.

For China to realise its millennium goal, it needs to radiate its influence globally and simultaneously engage internally with the local population to ensure social stability. COVID-19 has disrupted China’s dream of showcasing to the world a model state with Chinese characteristics. Influence operations thus form the basis of curating and presenting a credible image of the Communist Party of China (CPC) besides altering the behaviour of its adversaries.

Since February 2020 hardly a day has gone by where a national security academic or policymaker has not used the word ‘unprecedented’ to describe global affairs in the age of COVID-19. The pandemic has created tectonic shifts in the globe’s economic, social, political and international plates. With a vaccine yet to be found, there is increasing evidence that COVID-19’s second-order impacts have assured one thing: further uncertainty in international affairs. T

| Summary/Abstract |
Defence diplomacy, also known as military diplomacy, is the non-violent use of military forces, adapting public diplomacy, through activities like officer exchanges, combined training programmes, cultural exchanges, and ship visits, etc., to further a country’s diplomatic ties and promoting its international agenda. Despite having existed in various forms for hundreds of years, this custom and its usage as an instrument of statecraft has received surprising little attention as a discipline for scholarly studies. Defence diplomacy in the last few decades have developed as a significant tool in the global political platform for statesmen to create better ties between allies and stand as a formidable opponent.

| Summary/Abstract |
Disasters and environmental degradation are generally considered parts of non-traditional threat to National Security. India by virtue of its geo-climatic and socio-economic conditions is one of the five most affected countries in the world in terms of number of deaths and due to various natural disasters that make it vulnerable. However, India has also transitioned to a position of being an important ‘provider of assistance in international disasters.’ Since India has a progressive and forward looking development agenda of inclusive growth, which is getting impacted by disasters, disaster risk reduction has emerged as a high priority focus area in India’s national policy framework. In this perspective, the paper examines the ‘vulnerability’ aspect of India in the larger context of disaster management in India’s national security.

The article showcases a larger-than-life image of Pakistan’s Intelligence agencies highlighting their role in the domestic politics of Pakistan, by understanding the Inter-Service Agencies (ISI), objectives and machinations as well as their domestic political role play. This is primarily carried out by subverting the political system through various means, with the larger aim of ensuring an unchallenged Army rule. In the present times, meddling, muddling and messing in, the domestic affairs of the Pakistani Government falls in their charter of duties, under the rubric of maintenance of national security. Its extra constitutional and extraordinary powers have undoubtedly made it the potent symbol of the ‘Deep State’.

Artillery fires are aimed at crippling the enemy’s war-waging machinery. Such operations are time-sensitive since they need to ensure that the enemy is engaged effectively and sufficiently degraded at critical points in time and space to achieve combat superiority. A robust, persistent and seamless sensor to shooter link ensures the shortest loop between acquisition and targeting. Loitering Munitions if inducted into the Indian Artillery will be a game-changer in this field and will fill the existing voids in surveillance-cum-precision engagement capability between 40-200 km. In view of this, the paper examines the capability voids to suggest a solution based on the employment of Loitering Munitions to fill such lacunae—both in lethal and non-lethal domains, taking into consideration the present and the future security paradigm in the region.

In the emerging security environment, psychological warfare has become a significant and a cost-effective non- lethal method to influence the target segment that is not controlled by any universally accepted laws, rules, usages and customs. What adds to it are the radical changes in the geo-political and geo-economic environment, information and communication technology (ICT), which is not only the predominant driver of change in the future conflicts, but it is a potent weapon of today and tomorrow.

| Summary/Abstract |
The recent India-China border crisis in Ladakh underscores the threat posed by Beijing to United States (US) and Indian interests in the Indo-Pacific region. Accordingly, the spat presents opportunities to strengthen US-India partnership. However, the crisis also risks exposing the partnership’s limits. This paper argues that to fully capitalise on the opportunities that the crisis generates for US-India relations, Washington and New Delhi should make some definitional and operational calibrations to their relationship. Additionally, America should expand its geographic conception of “Indo Pacific” beyond sea-based theatres and into land-based spaces, including the Line of Actual Control (LAC). This wider purview would strengthen US-India relations and serve US interests more broadly by expanding the scope for cooperation with Indo-Pacific states within the ambit of America’s Asia policy.
