"India's foreign policy in the Gulf has undergone a significant transformation in recent years. From the oil boom of the 1970s to Narendra Modi's aggressive regional outreach after 2014, the density of India's interactions with the region in the form of migration, financial remittances, and trade has grown by multiple orders of magnitude. India has reconfigured its diplomatic and strategic ties with the Gulf states accordingly. This volume examines the subject from a variety of theoretical lenses and methodological approaches. It treads a range of traditional and emergent themes in India's foreign policy in the Gulf region, including India's alignment choices, its strategic partnerships in the region, the paradiplomacy of Indian states in the region, and the competing political projects shaping India's outlook on the Gulf"--

This volume explores Indiäs role in the global governance architecture post-Cold War. It shows how, with a rise in Indiäs capabilities, there is an expectation from its external interlocutors that New Delhi ought to play a larger global role.

India's South Asia policy, by its very nature, has to be extremely dynamic and nimble. The Narendra Modi government has also articulated an ambitious 'Neighbourhood First' approach and has invested significant diplomatic capital in it over the last few years. But the underlying factors that havetraditionally framed India's difficulties in getting its neighbourhood policy right remain as potent as ever. Against this backdrop, Politics and Geopolitics brings together some of the finest thinkers in the country to deliberate on the gamut of political, diplomatic and economic issues that India is facing in its neighbourhood beyond Chinese hostilities and the perennial lack of trust with Pakistan. Each chapter provides an overview of the last few years under the Modi government and evaluates the state of the relationship as it exists today, touching upon the main areas of disputes and charting out a way forward for the bilateral engagement.

As India's attempts to carve out a foreign policy that is in sync with the irrising international stature,they are having to deal with a range of issues that are controversial but central to the future of an Indian global strategy. This book examines these issues and deduces major trends in Indian foreign policy.
