As the world becomes increasingly digital, both the greatest opportunities and the biggest threats emanate from the digital and technological space. Technology centrality is central to both governance and economic growth, and India’s experiences with placing ‘digital’ at the core of its growth story could be a potential game-changer in the region and beyond. As innovation becomes the buzzword around which economies of the future are conceptualised, what India says and does in the cyberspace domain has profound implications for the entire world, and particularly the IndoPacific region.

The interaction of national armed forces and private business sectors offers a useful lens for viewing the politics of numerous countries of the so-called Global South. A rising trend of military political activism—often accompanied by military commercial activity—underlines the importance of drivers and outcomes in these relationships.
