Indian Foreign Policy in a Unipolar World cover

India's foreign policy, out of the structural confines of the Cold War strategic framework, has become more expansive in defining its priorities over the last few years. With the rise of its economic and military capabilities and strategic interests, India has shaped a diplomacy that is much more aggressive in the pursuit of those interests. Tracing the trajectory of India's foreign policy in the 21st century, this book examines the factors that have shaped the Indian response towards this emerging international security environment. Including a new Afterword, this updated volume looks at the major influences that have shaped India's foreign policy in recent years, in the context of its engagements with strategically important regions across the globe, and its relations with major global powers.

The volume will prove invaluable to those studying politics and international relations, diplomatic and political history, defence and military studies, and South Asian studies.

The rise of India has generated several scholarly works in recent years. Only a few are based on comprehensive theoretical foundations. This volume with its collection of theoretically-informed papers by leading South Asia scholars stands apart as it offers valuable insights on the emerging international order and India's place in it. It is a must read for those who want to understand the foreign policy trajectory of India and the challenges it faces in the 21st century.

T.V. Paul, James McGill Professor of International Relations, McGill University
