Synopsis The international system has been passing through a phase of profound turbulence and flux since the end of the cold war. The inescapable reality of globalization has induced consequences hard to explain or predict. India has also borne the burnt of these global changes. The international systemic determinants of the Indian foreign policy prevailing until the 1980s stand altered today. India is faced with momentous challenges and opportunities at the dawn of the 21ce7ntury. The present book endeavours to contemplate, in a systematic and theoretically-informed fashion, the dynamic interplay between the emerging world order and India’s foreign and security policies. The diverse contributions by renowned scholars adopt both historical as well as futuristic approaches. They outline the likely course of Indian foreign policy in future and suggest how it could be modified to adapt to the transformations taking place in the global order. The book also makes critical assessment of the process of South Asian regional cooperation as well as India’s contemporary security and nuclear policies.
