The Dokdo Dispute in Perspective and Avenues for Resolution

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article

Abstract

Chinaâ€™s rise has provoked a substantial debate about its possible consequences for Indian security and its implications for Indian strategy. This review essay examines the parameters of this debate, concentrating especially on the rise of a new American-derived political realism in Indian thinking about China. It argues that in urging India to abandon its longstanding posture of strategic restraint, the new realists overestimate Indiaâ€™s political military capabilities and run the risk for driving India toward a costly and dangerous confrontation with China.
