The text also does not shy away from pragmatic and strategic issues of negotiation, alliances, training and education, leadership, and more.

This new found warmth more than mere cold peace something that has traditionally characterised the relationship between the two countries has started manifesting in an urge to engage the other country with a positive frame of mind explore the finer aspects of the other and impelled an unprecedented popular momentum generated by the expectations of ordinary Indians and Pakistanis. The leadership in both India and Pakistan has not just accepted that they are willing to go beyond their stated positions but have realised that the welfare of the other is essential to their own. The people of Jammu and Kashmir are also undergoing an attitudinal metamorphosis towards realism and the imperatives of peace stability and prosperity. Still much remains unchanged. Mindsets suspicion terror tactics and political compulsions created by age old nationalist rhetoric remain potential wild cards in the ongoing process towards positive peace. Thus much of the challenging journey still lies ahead. This volume is an attempt to capture these diverse readings and views analyse the prospects of peace and the potential wild cards and present these before a discerning audience. 308 pp.

Culture, People and Power deals with a rich tradition of India which has in its long history attracted the world through its cultural wealth and literary heritage. Power of India for its natural wealth could be another story to tell in many a volume. But scholars who have contributed to this volume are focusing mainly on India cultural, intellectual, literary and political relations with the external world for over half a millennia. If the Mughal emperors were trying to reason with Indian intellectual heritage by learning and translating Sanskrit into Persian ancient India literary and legal classics the European and American intellectuals in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries were impressed by India's epic tradition and sophistication of ancient Indian dance, drama and theatre. India's linguistic richness and philological advances, too, had a considerable impact on the world. The independent India and the leaders who shaped its destiny in the second half of the twentieth century have drawn much on India rich heritage to foster relations with and have fruitfully intervened in the international affairs of the modern world. The essays in this volume analyse India past and present by citing decisions, documents and incidents and also suggest how India can continue to influence the world in future through its, what Joseph Nye would like to call, Soft Power.

Strong political, economic and security relations have developed between the two countries since the 1940s. Australia and India also share democratic values and have strong democratic institutions. The linkages between the two countries also extend to population migration, with Australia being home to a large Indian diaspora. For both countries, the Asia-Pacific region remains of vital strategic importance, especially in terms of their relationship with the US and China. Australia has traditionally been a strong ally of the United States, however, it also needs to balance its relations with China, which is its largest trading partner. Similarly, despite India's emerging strategic partnership with the US, its growing economic relationship with China is also likely to be a key factor influencing its relations with the US. Another common concern for Australia and India is the issue of nuclear proliferation. While India is not a signatory to the NPT, it has maintained strict controls on its nuclear technology and has entered into a civilian nuclear agreement with the US. Australia, on the other hand, is not a nuclear armed state, though it does export uranium to nuclear armed states which are signatories to the NPT. This book examines Indo-Australian relations, primarily covering the two major issue areas highlighted above. However, it also covers other aspects of the bilateral relationship, such as economic relations and cooperation in the sphere of higher education. (jacket).

New Directions in Indian Foreign Policy aims to explore Indian Foreign Policy since the end of the Cold War and investigate the latest trends in India's foreign policy behaviour. The book covers a whole range of issues including India's nuclear identity, climate change, resource crunch, and diplomacy, India's great power aspirations, and domestic influences on foreign policy making. Considering that the end of the Cold War is widely understood to be a game changer for Indian Foreign Policy, it is an opportune time to ask whether India has indeed embraced a new foreign policy. In other words, two decades since the end of the Cold War and the beginning of the economic liberalization process and the coalition politics in the country, what are the changes and continuities in the contemporary Indian Foreign Policy. There is a dearth of comprehensive works on India's Foreign Policy outlook in the post-Cold War era. Thus, this book aims to fill this gap in the discipline of international politics. The focus of the book is not so much about what has changed for India, but how India has adapted or responded to the changes around it. The volume aims to produce important theoretical insights on Indian Foreign Policy. It also analyses the various aspects and implications of India's desire for greater global influence. (jacket).

The rapid economic growth of China and India carries significant political implications for the Asia-Pacific region and the international order, as these countries could alter the current balance of power. In the case of China, its rise is perceived as a threat by the current world super power, the United States, primarily due to China's ideological differences with liberal democratic regimes. The rise of India also causes similar concerns, primarily to the countries in South Asia. However, as a democracy with relatively stable institutions, India is perceived to be less threatening by most countries. With expanding economic interests and rising demands for greater resources to support their domestic populations, China and India will be developing close associations with all the countries in the Asia-Pacific. This will provide new grounds for collaboration as well as considerable challenges variously in economic, military and political sphere. This book seeks to analyse the impact that the rise of China and India has had on the countries of the Asia-Pacific. Nine chapters provide perspectives from Japan, Singapore, Myanmar, Indonesia, Vietnam, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka. Three chapters focus on the perspectives of the US, the European Union and Australia. Meanwhile, two chapters focus on China's and India's perspectives on the new challenges and responsibilities they face. (jacket).

Amitabh Mattoo (born 26 June 1962, Srinagar) is one of India's leading thinkers and writers on international relations. He was awarded a Padma Shri by the Government of India in 2009. He is Professor of Disarmament Studies at Jawaharlal Nehru University. Mattoo's advice on policy matters has been sought across political parties and across governments, including by Prime Ministers Atal Behari Vajpayee and Dr. Manmohan Singh. In 1994 the Joan B. Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies, in cooperation with the Fourth Freedom Forum, conducted the most comprehensive survey to date of the Indian public's attitude toward nuclear arms. In this context India is intriguing case. It distinguishes itself from other threshold countries by having time-honored democratic traditions, strong mass media, and active public opinion, all contributing to a rather high degree of openness in society. Yet, most Indians feel that the established nuclear powers have appropriated an undue amount of political international influence through their nuclear weapons status. This book examines the findings of that landmark survey. This book provides an in-depth view of the nuclear choices currently facing India and all of South Asia--from nuclear abstinence to outright weaponization--and uses the findings of the public opinion poll to evaluate the level of popular support for each option. The survey results and the accompanying essays, written by a new generation of Indian scholars, introduce new voices into the debate on nuclear policy, and thereby help to democratize the discussion of India's nuclear option.
