India’s foreign policy has come a long way since its independence, from the era of the Non-aligned Movement, shaped and espoused by Jawaharlal Nehru, to the recent phase of the challenges of globalization and the uncertainty created by the end of the Cold War and the decline of multilateralism and the nation state.
India`s Foreign Policy: Coping with the Changing World is a reflection on these transformations and includes prescriptions for strategies and policy measures. It deals with India`s evolving relations with important world powers, like the United States, Russia and China. It proffers advice, distilled from experience, on dealing with neighbours, with the limelight on Bangladesh, one of the most important neighbours of India. The author, who played an important role in shaping and conducting India`s policies in the global arena, does not hesitate to put forth views that are radically different from the prevailing ones.
The book also discusses happenings that are likely to have a far-reaching impact on India in the near future, including China`s emergence as a global power and the Indo-US civilian nuclear deal. It also casts a glance on India`s diaspora, spread out across the world, and the role it has come to play in influencing the country`s development and foreign policy. As the first in the `India and the World` series, the book gives the reader an expert account of the major developments in the world and of the many trajectories of India`s foreign policy.
