This book is an attempt to provide alternative understanding of Indian foreign policy, theoretically as well as through case studies. Engaging with critical issues, Indian foreign policy is no longer based on ideals but is gradually moving towards instrumentality and materialism. The book engages with and debates this key shift in foreign policy posture of India. There are two arguments that the book explores. First, political power of a ruling group is determined by its capability to address issues of global interest and especially those which appear to be exigent. The capability, in turn, depends upon the institutional and ideational specifics of the political class that dominates the discursive practices. The second argument is case specific and relates to foreign policy decision-making in India. The chapters in the book aim to address some concerns and issues in contemporary foreign policy which are gaping India in the face, and yet important to be understood and confronted.
