Since adopting liberal economic policies two decades ago, India has become one of the two fastest growing economies in the world. While India has been reaching out to various regions such as Southeast Asia and the Middle East for expansion and strengthening its linkages, its relations with its immediate South Asian neighbours remain problematic. Her bilateral relations with the other regional countries have traditionally been contentious due to border issues as well as the fears and resistance of smaller countries to an Indian hegemony in the region.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. 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).

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. The book addresses two major questions: whether India has a strategic culture which informs the country's foreign, defence and security thinking and whether India's foreign and security policies are based on a coherent strategic thinking. The volume, in other words, explores India's strategic culture, which shapes the country's strategic thought. From theories of grand strategy to critical constructivist interpretations, a whole range of approaches to this question are included. With its current rapid economic growth, demand for a permanent UNSC seat, successful alliance building (e.g. BRICS, Indo-US strategic partnership), and desire to play a greater role in global affairs, India's growing stature requires further analysis on how and why Indian policies are carried out. This book examines the various influences on Indian strategic culture. It will act as guide to those who wish to see patterns in Indian strategic thinking/planning and serve to explain the background of Indian foreign policies. This book is being produced two decades after the end of the Cold War, which had a major impact on international politics. Therefore, it allows for analysis of Indian strategic culture/thinking both during the Cold War and the changes it experienced after its end. A consolidated collection of academic opinions on India's strategic culture and thinking, especially from an Indian perspective, will greatly contribute to the field of international relations given India's rising importance in the global order.
