Future scope in Strategic studies
1. Objectives
Strategic
studies is an interdisciplinary academic field centered on the study of conflict and peace strategies, often devoting special attention to the
relationship between international politics, geostrategy, international diplomacy, international economics, and military
power. In the
scope of the studies are also subjects such as the role of intelligence, diplomacy, and international cooperation for
security and defense. The subject is normally taught at the post-graduate academic or professional, usually
strategic-political and strategic-military levels.
The
academic foundations of the
subject began with classic texts initially from the Orient such as Sun
Tzu’s Art
of War and went
on to gain a European focus with Clausewitz’s On War. Like Clausewitz, many academics in this
field reject monocausal theories and hypotheses that reduce the study of
conflict to one independent variable and one dependent variable. Already in the
late eighteenth century, a colourful mathematician named Dietrich Heinrich von
Bülow attempted to establish mathematical formulae for the conduct of war. Carl
von Clausewitz rejected Bülow’s approach and his popular claim that warfare
could be reduced to positivist, teachable principles of war. Instead of
formulae, we find Clausewitz stressing, time and again, that the whole purpose
of educating the military commander is not to give him a series of answers for
the task he will face (the complexities of which cannot be foreseen), but to
educate him about different aspects of what will face him so as to let him
evaluate the situation for himself, and develop his own strategy.[1] Strategic thinkers on the whole will search
for recurrent patterns, which in themselves cannot predict the characteristics
of any individual case even if it doubtless fits a larger category; not all
patterns of characteristics will be found in all cases.
In recent
times, the major conflicts of the nineteenth century and the two World
Wars have
spurred strategic thinkers such as Mahan, Corbett, Giulio
Douhet, Liddell
Hart and,
later, André
Beaufre. The
Cold War with its danger of degenerating into a nuclear war produced an
expansion of the discipline, with authors like Bernard Brodie, Michael Howard, Raymond
Aron, Lucien
Poirier, Lawrence
Freedman, Colin
Gray, and
many others.

सरकार म्हणजे राष्ट्र नव्हे
सरकार म्हणजे राष्ट्र नव्हे ...
जागतिकीकरणाच्या काळात तिसर्र्या जगापुढे अंतर्गत राष्ट्रीय सुरक्षेची मोठी आव्हाने दिसू लागत आहेत. जागतिक व्यापाराचा परिणाम थेट सामाजिक, सांस्कृतिक, आर्थिक, राजकीय क्षेत्रांवर खोलवर मोठा परिणाम होतोय. या मूळे आर्थिक महाशाक्तींची सूत्रे सध्या मुठभर व्यापारी शक्ती गाटा कडे आहे. ते या नव वसाहतवादी खेलीचे मुख्य सूत्रधार आहेत. या सर्व खेळीत राष्ट्रातील सरकारे राष्ट्राचे पाईक होण्याऐवजी या व्यापारी हिताच्या चक्रव्युव्हाचे आपोआप पाईक झालेले आहेत. अश्या राज्य कर्त्यांची व्यवस्था, अवस्था सामाजिक स्थराच्या विकासाला या वातावरणात पोषक भूमिका निभावताना तेवढे सक्षम दिसत नाहीत.
आज लोकशाही असलेल्या राष्ट्रांमध्ये नागरिकांना राष्ट्रीय भावना राष्ट्रातील सरकारच्या निर्णयावर सोडून दिलेल्या आहेत. या वर लोकशाही पद्धतीचे ना नियंत्रण आहे न व्यवस्था. सरकार म्हणजे राष्ट्र असे तत्वज्ञान सध्या अंतर्गत सुरक्षा यंत्रणेत व्यवस्थित रित्या रूळवलेले दिसते. सामान्य जनतेस विशेष अशी वैचारिक क्षमता बाळगण्याची गरज या जगतीकीकारांच्या सरकारी व्यवस्थानी बनवलेली आहे. भारतात मावोवादी विरुध्ध सुरक्षा यंत्रणा असताना न्याय व्यवस्थेत कमालीची नैतिकता निर्णय क्षमता दिसते जी राष्ट्राच्या सीमे पेक्षा मानवतावादी तत्वाचे पूजक जास्त दिसून येते. सरकारे राष्ट्र सुरक्षे बाबत खूप सत्ता बचावात्मात भूमिकेत या कालखंडात दिसतात तर बहिर्गत विचार तत्वशक्ती ह्या आक्रमक असतात. यालाच जागतिकीकरणाची वाळवी म्हणतात. सावली देणाऱ्या झाडाची गरज बारीक किड्यांना अजिबात नसते. तसे झाड सावली देण्याचा गुणधर्म सोडू शकत नाही आणि वाळवी आपला गुणधर्म सोडायला तयार नाही. ज्याच्या शेतात झाड असते तो शेतकरी पण वाळवी च्या कृत्यावर इलाज करायला वेळ नाहीय. त्याला त्याच्या पिकाच्या भरगोस उत्पादनाची आणि हंगामी फायद्याची चिंता असते. मग या अवस्थेला विशेष प्राधान्य देण्याची गरज आजच्या सत्ताधार्यांना वाटत नाही.
मग प्रति व्यवस्था आपोआप जन्म घेत असते. त्यांना राष्ट्रापुढे सरकारी व्यवस्था प्रथम असेलच असे वात नाही. म्हणून सरकार म्हणजे राष्ट्र नव्हे या सिद्धांतावर काम करणारे देशभक्त देखील या व्यवस्थेत आहे याचे भान प्रतिनिधींनी ठेवायचे असते. जागतिकीकरणात बळी तो कान पिळी हा सिद्धांत लागू होत असतो हे राज्यव्यवस्थेने विसरू नये.
राष्ट्र प्रथम मग राज्य घटना आणि मग सरकारे या सिद्धांतावर नैतिक विश्वास ठेवणे आज गरजेचे झालाय.

Challenges before Indian Navy
One problem is the conflation of strategic issues with practical operational issues. These need to be separated and dealt with individually. This will allow us to give more thought to the conundrum the strategic issues pose.
