Nehru’s Concept of Indian Defence No aspect of Jawaharlal Nehru's policies and leadership came under as severe an attack as those on defence. Unfortunately till this day no scholastic appraisal of the policy he pursued in regard to national security is available and it is a great pity that the Government has not encouraged such a study. We have had a host of publications by foreigners, retired Indian Army officers, retired civil servants, journalists, academicians and politicians which are generally critical of Jawaharlal Nehru's defence policy. The bias in these works is all too obvious. Shri B.N. K. Subrahmanyam | November 2008 | Strategic Analysis
Indo-US Counter-Terrorism Cooperation: Rhetoric Versus Substance Following the 9/11 attacks on the American homeland, India and Pakistan emerged as important states in the US-led Global War on Terrorism (GWOT). The gathering momentum in the Indo-US relations during the Clinton Presidency underwent a dramatic transformation. Although increased cooperation in defence issues is understood to have 'led' the India-US relationship to its current level, it has not culminated in enhanced counter-terrorism cooperation. This perceived lack of cooperation can be located within the perceptual differences on key security issues. Shanthie Mariet D’Souza | November 2008 | Strategic Analysis

From all accounts, analysts suggest that China will not only survive but has also gained from the recent global financial meltdown. P. Stobdan | October 27, 2008 | IDSA Comments
The oil price Conundrum As the saying goes, everything that goes up had to come down. The same holds true for the price of oil, which has seen a slide of around 55% in just three months. At one point of time there were even predictions that prices would reach $200 a barrel. However, currently, the price of oil has dropped to $68 a barrel, from a high of over $147 in July this year. But the question is how and more importantly, why did this happen, and in such a short time. Shebonti Ray Dadwal | October 24, 2008 | IDSA Comments
