The book argues that persistence of various cross-border threats and challenges and an absence of robust intra-regional trade among its neighbouring countries forced India to employ a security-centric and unilateral approach to border management with emphasis on hardening the borders to cross-border trade and travel and keeping the border areas underdeveloped to act as a buffer against external conventional threats. Besides discussing the threats and challenges that India faces along the borders, the book aims to develop an understanding of India’s border management practices by analysing various programmes and initiatives such as the raising of border guarding forces; building of physical and electronic fences; the establishment of modern facilities for smoothening legitimate cross-border travel; the development of the border areas through special programmes; and increasing trade and connectivity as well as other cooperative bilateral mechanisms.  aManagement  aBarriers to Bridge  aIDSA  aPushpita Das.  cBOOK  c62115d62115  00102ddc4070aSNULbSNULd2024-08-01eG3744g0.00l0o327.54 DASpG3744r2024-08-01 00:00:00w2024-08-01yBOOK
