Synopsis In recent years, wars and conflicts have been asymmetric in nature. Howsoever powerful be its military, nations employing conventional warfare doctrines and relying heavily on sophisticated new generation weaponry have not found success in creating an impregnable and durable security. Intelligence has become a vital tool in the overall security set-up of a nation and contributes substantially towards national policies and decision-making which may be critical to the very existence of the state. Political and economic intelligence have acquired similar strategic significance as intelligence related to security and military related matters.

In this book eminent defence analysts and security officials, discuss some of the current issues, the threat posed, emerging concepts covered in the fields of intelligence, Security and Asymmetric Warfare and their reflections on India’s security.
