This multi-disciplinary study, containing twelve papers by German and Indian specialists, provides a critical analysis of India’s economic and cultural relations with Germany. It discusses German attitudes towards European security and the changing South Asian security milieu since the 1990s. The concluding chapters assess the prospects for enhanced cooperation between India and Germany.
