About National Security:

National Security is a policy-oriented academic publication of the Vivekananda International Foundation. It focuses on understanding the principal issues and trends in India’s increasingly complex national security environment. National Security hopes to provide holistic analysis and informed debates keeping such a meaning in view. It would be forum for top thinkers, policy experts, and academics. It also hopes to meet the needs of an international readership that is increasingly interested in India’s security policies as its role in world affairs grows. Four issues would be published annually – one every three months and would be available on the net.
