Abstract
The objective of this article is to discuss defense cooperation between Malaysia and India in the post-Cold War era (1991–2012), mainly from Malaysia’s perspective. The article is divided into four parts. First, the historical background of Malaysia–India defense cooperation during the colonial period until the Cold War is discussed briefly. Second, defense cooperation in the post-Cold War period involving the three services (air force, navy and army) is examined. Third, certain issues in Malaysia–India defense cooperation are analysed. The article concludes by arguing that in order for Malaysia to move towards more constructive defense relations with India, a paradigm shift is central to making the strategic partnership effective and meaningful.
