K. Dhowan, Chief of Naval Staff, Indian Navy ‘The book provides interpretation of current events in global, regional and sub-regional scenario from an Indian perspective.

Authored by eminent experts from different disciplines and professions, over the years, the Annual Review mentored by distinguished scholar Professor Satish Kumar has created its own niche in the field of security studies. Adequately supported by documents and statistics, it is counted as a valuable and authentic reference book for researchers and policy makers.’ Professor Girijesh Pant, Former Dean, School of International Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University and Former Vice Chancellor, Doon University ‘Through its exhaustive strategic analysis, I am sure the volume will help enunciate India’s best interests in defence, diplomacy and internal security.’ Shishir Gupta, Executive Editor, Hindustan Times 'Besides being an eminent scholar in the field of international relations, Kumar, as director of FNSR, has been associated with this project from its very inception. It is a testimony to his scholarship that the level of analysis moves beyond mere foreign policy concerns and takes due account of Kenneth Waltz’s third image—the international environment.'
