About the Book

Geopolitical realities of the 21st century in the aftermath of the Cold War and the currently evolving process of globalisation require construction of a 'new' security paradigm designed to meet the emerging regional security challenges of most countries across the world.
    br>Keeping this in focus, the book seeks to highlight the increasing mutuality of regional security interests of India and Australia consequent upon emerging global order and the ensuing regional debate over the changing nature of security and the principal directions a new regional security agenda might take as well as the ways in which India and Australia might play a role in the construction of a new regional security paradigm.
