Naval Security

This thesis uses articles from Chinese and Indian defense publications to analyze how the Chinese People’s Liberation Army-Navy and the Indian Navy view each other’s modernization. This thesis argues that the Chinese and Indian Navies view each other’s development through defensive realism and will take steps in accordance to their view of development. This thesis predicts that the Indians will focus on developing a navy that can defeat the PLA-N in Indian dominated waters, while the PLA-N will develop anti-submarine assets and refueling assets to counter the Indian nuclear triad, which according my analysis of the Chinese defense press, is the part of the Indian Navy that the Chinese Navy views as the biggest menace of the Indian Navy to Chinese survival.

"The author analyzes security challenges and threats for Ukraine in the Black
Sea region. Additionally, such spheres as frozen conflict resolution, naval
security, missile defense system deployment, and competition with the
neighboring states are discussed. The main challenges for Ukraine in the
Black Sea region, she argues, come from the unrealized potential the country
has in the region, as well as from its lack of strategic vision."
