It offers sufficient historical perspective, it examines India�s key relationships and it discusses India�s aspirations to and constraints on the rise to great-power status. Given the paucity of work on contemporary India�s foreign relations, Ogden's work constitutes a most welcome addition to the literature. Scholars, policy makers and journalists interested in the country�s foreign policy all stand to benefit from a perusal of this important book.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eSumit Ganguly, Indiana University\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"Using four central themes as key to understanding the motivations of Indian elites in the realm of foreign policy, this lucid book provides a coherent narrative about the potential and challenges that confront India as it makes its way up the global interstate hierarchy.

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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 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. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Abbreviations\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Tables, Figures, Profiles and Cases Studies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOverview, Principles and Themes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1 Makers of Foreign Policy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2 Strategic Thinking, the Military and Nuclear Affairs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 3 India’s Economic Transition\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 4 South Asia’s (Natural) Hegemon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 5 Regionalism and Multilateralism\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 6 Great Power Dynamics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 7 Relations with the United States\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 8 India and the World\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConclusion: India Emergent\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eResearch Appendix\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNotes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExtended Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Politics \u0026amp; government [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Politics \u0026amp; government\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Politics%20\u0026amp;%20government%20%5BJP%5D%22\"\u003eJP\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52407326310680,"sku":"9780745660868","price":45.76,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780745660868.jpg?v=1784162187","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/indian-foreign-policy-hardback-9780745660868","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
