Book Synopsis India's Foreign Policy, 1947-92 by : Harish Kapur
Download or read book India's Foreign Policy, 1947-92 written by Harish Kapur and published by SAGE Publications Pvt. Limited. This book was released on 1994-08-09 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The book which is an excellent exposition, has to be read critically and thoughtfully by our ambassadors, counsellors and others charged with directional changes in India's foreign policy as it portrays the profile from 1947 to 1992 and shifts the paradigm from political diplomacy to economic diplomacy by way of prognosis so as to project India's image with a sophisticated understanding of India's foreign policy." -USI Journal "This book rightly brings into focus the basic change in India's foreign policy from the initial years - a change which has made India more a regional actor than a world actor. It also rightly points out that with the decise of the Soviet Union, the globalization of the Indian economy may lead to the erosion of the independent character of India's foreign policy." --Asian Affairs "The author has made the best use of his opportunity and produced a sharply etched and crisply turned analysis, devoid of all verbosity. Such an exercise, by definition, entails a thorough and perceptive understanding of the ground realities. Nothing could be a happier end-product for the reader." --Economic and Political Weekly "This book strikes a special niche for itself in the limited literature on the subject, owing to the unique structure adopted by the author to narrate developments in foreign affairs of India from 1947 to 1992, and to identify substance from shadows. Books so far have dealt either exclusively with substantive issues in foreign policy or exclusively on the process of foreign policy making. But Professor Kapur has co-relatively combined two areas of interest of every student of Indian foreign policy/policy and process. . . . This book is useful not only for students and teachers of Indian foreign policy but also to policy makers and the general public as well." --Indian Book Chronicle National security. Modernization. Regional primacy. The country's role in the international order. What elements in the decision-making process have governed India's views and actions with regard to these four central sections of its foreign policy? Defining and analyzing these subjects within the historical constructs that have emerged since 1947, the author begins by establishing and evaluating the relative importance of India's policy objectives. Kapur next correlates these objectives to the changes witnessed since they were set, examining both domestic and international factors that have contributed to these changes. Combining a variety of approaches and methodologies, this comprehensive study of foreign policy evolution and function will interest a wide cross-section of readers; scholars of foreign affairs and international studies, diplomats, journalists, and politicians will all appreciate this valuable resource "This is an eminently readable and important work that ought to be consulted by students of Indian foreign policy." -Contemporary Southeast Asia "Kapur's book has much to offer to students, journalists, and practicing--even retired--diplomats." -Deccan Herald "In this short book [the author] has provided a sound analysis under four heads; security, development, regional hegemony and the search for an international role." -The Book Review

Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of Indian Foreign Policy by : David Malone
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Indian Foreign Policy written by David Malone and published by Oxford Handbooks. This book was released on 2015 with total page 769 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the end of the Cold War, the economic reforms in the early 1990s, and ensuing impressive growth rates, India has emerged as a leading voice in global affairs, particularly on international economic issues. Its domestic market is fast-growing and India is becoming increasingly important to global geo-strategic calculations, at a time when it has been outperforming many other growing economies, and is the only Asian country with the heft to counterbalance China. Indeed, so much is India defined internationally by its economic performance (and challenges) that other dimensions of its internal situation, notably relevant to security, and of its foreign policy have been relatively neglected in the existing literature. This handbook presents an innovative, high profile volume, providing an authoritative and accessible examination and critique of Indian foreign policy. The handbook brings together essays from a global team of leading experts in the field to provide a comprehensive study of the various dimensions of Indian foreign policy.
Book Synopsis Foreign Policies of India’s Prime Ministers by : Harish Kapur
Download or read book Foreign Policies of India’s Prime Ministers written by Harish Kapur and published by Lancer Publishers LLC. This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is on the Prime Ministers of India since Jawaharlal Nehru. A chapter is devoted to each of them with a focus on their foreign policies. The broad organisational framework, designed and deployed in this publication, begins with a brief analysis of their formative years, their perceptions of the international system, and the architecture of their foreign policies, before delving into their decisional process, and before concluding with an evaluation of their role. All the Prime Ministers were obviously not interested in international affairs. Though the dimensional size of the country had unavoidably pushed all of them to deal with foreign affairs, their role was variegated and their performance was unequal. While the Nehru-Gandhi family were the icons of Indian diplomacy, there were others like Morarji Desai, V.P.Singh, H.D.Deve Gowda, Chandra Shekar, etc. who were really marginal either because their mandate was limited by time or by interest. The uniqueness of the book lies in the fact that the author has dealt with all the Prime Ministers, including the ones for whom foreign policy was not crucial.
Book Synopsis Bread and the Ballot by : Dennis Merrill
Download or read book Bread and the Ballot written by Dennis Merrill and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 1990 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on recently declassified government documents, Merrill examines U.S. foreign economic policy toward India from its independence to President Kennedy's assassination. He considers the politics, ideology, and functioning of the large economic assistance effort in India, and also provides insights into the failures of U.S. economic strategies in the Third World during the Cold War. According to Merrill, rapid growth of aid to nonaligned India began during the Eisenhower Administration, which declared the policy of the United States to convince "people in the less developed areas that there is a way of life by which they can have bread and the ballot." The volume also includes Indian views on relevant economic and political issues. ISBN 0-8078-1920-4: $39.95.

Book Synopsis India’s Foreign Policy and Economic Challenges by : Silvio Beretta
Download or read book India’s Foreign Policy and Economic Challenges written by Silvio Beretta and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-02-13 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a state-of-the-art analysis of India’s foreign and security policies, examining e.g. the country’s security, economic and trade ties and interactions with Pakistan, China, the United States, Japan, the Middle East and ASEAN. Furthermore, the contributors provide the reader with an overview and analysis of the quality and challenges of India’s regional and global trade and investment policies. While in the past India has been a reluctant and not particularly prominent foreign and security policy actor in East and Southeast Asia as well as globally, China’s resurgence and its assertive and increasingly aggressive regional security policies have led India’s policymakers to reconsider the country’s decades-old non-alignment policies and opt for expanding security and defence ties with the United States, Japan and others. The Indian-Chinese border clashes in 2020 and China’s unlawful occupation of disputed territories along the Indian-Chinese border in the Himalayas have convinced Delhi’s policymakers and the country’s security and defence elites that India is well advised to join and contribute to US-led China containment policies. The expansion of India’s security and defence ties with Japan over recent years in particular will continue to be instrumental to keeping Beijing’s territorial expansionism in Southeast and South Asia in check. This volume analyses India’s involvement and engagement in regional and global trade and investment structures and flows in great detail. Written by a team of prolific European and Indian scholars, the book will be of interest to researchers in the fields of international relations and security studies, as well as policymakers at governmental or international organizations.
Book Synopsis Indian Foreign Policy by : Chris Ogden
Download or read book Indian Foreign Policy written by Chris Ogden and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-06-05 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India is becoming an increasingly visible, powerful and influential state within the global system. As this rise to prominence continues, better appreciating the interests and principles that structure the international interactions of South Asia’s largest state has never been so important. Keen to embrace an expectant future as a great power, India’s transitional journey has been characterised by astounding diplomatic achievements and significant strategic failures. In this robust and comprehensive analysis, Chris Ogden introduces students to the key dimensions of Indian foreign policy from her emergence as a modern state in 1947 to the present day. Combining theoretical insight with numerous case studies and profiles, he examines the foreign policy making process, strategic thinking, the crucial search for economic growth, and India’s difficult regional position and troubled borders. Tracking the trajectory of one of the 21st century’s major Asian and global powers, later chapters focus on New Delhi’s multilateral interaction, great power dynamics, and expanding relations with the United States and the world. Critically assessing what kind of great power India can and wants to be, this wide-ranging introduction will be an invaluable text for students of South Asian politics, foreign policy, and international relations.
Download or read book India's Foreign Policy written by and published by Pearson Education India. This book was released on 2009 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, scholars specializing in different dimensions of foreign-policy analysis examine the dynamics of India's international relations. The volume reviews the economic growth that has propelled it to the status of a globally recognized power, and examines its nuclear policy and maritime strategy as a register of its present capabilities and future aspirations. The news media, often neglected in the study of international politics, are studied as an important index to-and catalysis for-the formulation of government policies. The volume also comprehensively analyses India's bilateral and multilateral relations, their influence on the stability of the subcontinent, their bearing on the country's international presence, and their relevance for its political ambitions.

Book Synopsis India's Nuclear Debate by : Priyanjali Malik
Download or read book India's Nuclear Debate written by Priyanjali Malik and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-03-21 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Making the right-wing Bharatiya Janata Party’s nuclear tests in 1998 its starting point, this book examines how opinion amongst India’s ‘attentive’ public shifted from supporting nuclear abstinence to accepting — and even feeling a need for — a more assertive policy, by examining the complexities of the debate in India on nuclear policy in the 1990s. The study seeks to account for the shift in opinion by looking at the parallel processes of how nuclear policy became an important part of the public discourse in India, and what it came to symbolise for the country’s intelligentsia during this decade. It argues that the pressure on New Delhi in the early 1990s to fall in line with the non-proliferation regime, magnified by India’s declining global influence at the time, caused the issue to cease being one of defence, making it a focus of nationalist pride instead. The country’s nuclear programme thus emerged as a test of its ability to withstand external compulsions, guaranteeing not so much the sanctity of its borders as a certain political idea of it — that of a modern, scientific and, most importantly, ‘sovereign’ state able to defend its policies and set its goals.
Book Synopsis Jean-Baptiste Tavernier by : Harish Kapur
Download or read book Jean-Baptiste Tavernier written by Harish Kapur and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2013 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a biographical and illustrated account of the life of Jean-Baptiste Tavernier, a French national who traveled extensively for almost forty years of his life—travels that took him to most of the European countries, to the Ottoman Empire, to Persia, to Southeast Asia, and to India. This writer cannot think of any other personality, at any time in history, who wandered around for so long and for so far. Tavernier has a number of achievements to his credit—achievements of having written extensively on the areas he traveled, the people he met, and the diverse activities he pursued. His memoirs became a blockbuster in the seventeenth century, outshining any other publication of the time—even of those who were known to be heavy with ideas.

Book Synopsis The Politics of Dialogue by : Ranabir Samaddar
Download or read book The Politics of Dialogue written by Ranabir Samaddar and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offering a detailed analysis of post-colonial South Asia, The Politics of Dialogue discusses the creation and impact of borders and the pervasive tension between the new nations. Neither all-out war nor complete peace, this fragile condition makes political leaders and strategists feel claustrophobic - a war produces an end result but peace allows the rulers to carry out their policies for governing along their preferred path of development. The book shows how cartographic, communal and political lines are not only dividing countries, but that they are being replicated within countries, creating new visible and invisible internal frontiers. It argues that, in a situation where geopolitics constrains democracy, the political class becomes incapable of coping with the tension between the inside/outside, eg democracy appears as an internal problem and geopolitics appears as a problem related to the 'outside'.
