An analysis of the Indian military-industrial complex as a tool of strategic autonomy
Journal Title: Conjuntura Austral: journal of the Global South - Year 2019, Vol 10, Issue 50
Abstract
Studying what is an Industrial-Military Complex is not a traditional object of Security or International Relations approaches, especially when it comes to an emerging country. However, India is still a developing country, but with ever clearer strategic ambitions. There is a perception of the main agents of the state and of society that the South Asian nation needs to occupy a place of major relevance in the capitalist interstate system. In this way, the field of development and production of armaments and defense devices becomes fundamental for the country to be able to execute its "Great Strategy" with autonomy. Our goal in this article is to analyze the Indian military-industrial complex shedding light on its challenges and ambitions. To do so, we will divide our work into two main parts plus introduction and conclusion. In the first one, we will analyze the Indian geopolitical environment, in the second we will investigate the industrial-military complex of the country considering the public and private sectors.
