Hardcover. Zustand: New. A must-read for anyone interested in the foreign policy challenges facing our nation today. India's South Asia policy, by its very nature, has to be extremely dynamic and nimble. The Narendra Modi government has also articulated an ambitious 'Neighbourhood First' approach and has invested significant diplomatic capital in it over the last few years. But the underlying factors that have traditionally framed India's difficulties in getting its neighbourhood policy right remain as potent as ever. Against this backdrop, Politics and Geopolitics brings together some of the finest thinkers in the country to deliberate on the gamut of political, diplomatic and economic issues that India is facing in its neighbourhood beyond Chinese hostilities and the perennial lack of trust with Pakistan. Each chapter provides an overview of the last few years under the Modi government and evaluates the state of the relationship as it exists today, touching upon the main areas of disputes and charting out a way forward for the bilateral engagement.…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. It's 2014. Afghanistan's biggest watershed since 2001, the year the war on terror began, is upon it. American forces are in the middle of a pullout that is likely to result in a much smaller US military footprint after this year. On the face of it, the stage is set for India-a regional power with global aspirations-to rise to the occasion, bank on its goodwill, and help rebuild the nation. But presented with a golden opportunity, India has been found wanting. This book examines the changing trajectory of Indian policy onwards Afghanistan and argues that New Delhi has been responding to a strategic environment shaped by other actors, without developing an autonomous posture. By refusing to be proactive, India has lost the initiative and done some long-term damage to its vital interests, the least of which is gaining access to the energy-rich central Asian region while the biggest is to foil Pakistan and the Taliban's designs of once again rising to prominence in Afghanistan. The way in which India's foreign policy shapes up this year-or if it does at all-will determine the consequences for Indian security once Western forces depart. As Afghanistan braces for the most important year in its political history since 2001, India's Afghan Muddle sets the terms for the debate on why 2014 is no less important for India as well.…

Its political clout has increased, along with its economic and military growth. Considered a balancing power in the Asia-Pacific region, it is also seen as a democratic ally in the West, even as it challenges it on issues such as non-proliferation or global trade. India s rise in global politics has confounded policy-makers and observers alike. However, while India is more confident of its capabilities than in the past, it remains unsure of its role in the world. This book presents an overview of Indian foreign policy today. It looks at the range of factors shaping India s foreign policy, from domestic politics to material capabilities, as well as India s relations with the world and neighbouring countries. Key global issues, such as India s role in international and regional organizations, nuclear proliferation, democracy, or climate change, are also discussed. In addition, snapshots focus on important issues such as the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) grouping and terrorism. Written by an expert in the field, Indian Foreign Policy will be a key resource for scholars and students studying Indian politics, comparative international relations, Asian politics, as well as globalization.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Taking the readers on an insightful journey through 75 pivotal moments that have shaped India's foreign policy since 1947, Power and Purpose: Rediscovering Indian Foreign Policy in Amrit Kaal serves not only as a valuable resource for academic research but also as an accessible guide for the general public. It offers objective and succinct analyses of key events in India's foreign policy landscape. The analyses are provided through a periodization of four wavesit starts with the era of state building and the Nehruvian outlook, followed by a period of regional consolidation and antagonisms; the third wave navigates through a phase when India was just opening up to the world, paving the way for transformative progress that has led it to its fourth and current wave, setting India on the path to global leadership. This journey from the past to the present fulfils two other purposes. First, it aims to provide the reader with objective insights into what created and shaped contemporary Indian foreign policy. This fuels its second purpose, wherein it aims to provide a window into contemporary foreign policy for future analysts to broadly understand how Indian foreign policy was perceived 75 years post its Independence, as it entered the next phase of Amrit Kaal. This will be possible by analyzing the biases behind the curation of events this book has collated through its presentism, as many events may lose their significance in the years to come, while others may grow in their relevance. These variances will essentially represent the delta between contemporary Indian foreign policy and its subsequent formulations at infinite points of time in the future. Whether you are a student, a researcher, or simply curious about India's role on the global stage, this book invites you to explore the complexities of Indian foreign policy and reflect on the lasting impact of historical decisions on our collective future.…

All major regional players and global powers are struggling to come to terms with the aftermath of the withdrawal of NATO-led Western military forces from Afghanistan. Regional cooperation has been declared as the only viable alternative to the tensions that have plagued Afghanistan for decades. Various South and Central Asian governments have underscored that they recognise that Afghanistan s problems of terrorism, narcotics trafficking and corruption affect them all; and that these have to be addressed through cooperative efforts. In November 2011, they adopted the Istanbul Protocol that committed countries as diverse as China, India, Iran, Kazakhstan, Pakistan and Russia to cooperate in countering terrorism, drug trafficking and insurgency in Afghanistan and its neighbouring areas. However, practical difficulties in implementing the vision of regional cooperation remain stark, as regional power struggles remain potent. While Turkey made a public effort to mediate differences between Pakistan and Afghanistan, Central Asian states worry that extremist groups based in Pakistan and Afghanistan will infiltrate Central Asia and launch terrorist attacks. Iran opposes any long-term American presence in Afghanistan, while Russia wants to ensure that Afghanistan does not become the source of Islamist instability. China wants to preserve its growing economic profile in Afghanistan, but is not interested in making any significant political investment; India, for its part, shares common interests with the regional states with respect to Afghanistan. The first book to examine the impact of Western withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan and the interests and policies of major regional players, Afghanistan s Regional Dilemmas: South Asia and Beyond will be indispensible for students and scholars of international relations, strategic studies, peace and conflict studies.(jacket). …
