This paper addresses the relevance of the historical method and the importance of identifying long-term globalizing patterns in understanding the military-industrial transformation and militarization of South Asia. The paper examines the roots and ramifications of military-industrial globalization in South Asia, locating them within the military cultural context of the subcontinent's history. In doing so, it strives to redress perceived imbalances in the emphasis of debates about the nature and impact of globalizing supra-national forces. The paper also seeks to review possible implications of long-term trends and patterns for the future security of the region.
