India’s Foreign Policy and Economic Challenges
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-031-20272-8 (ISBN)
This book provides a state-of-the-art analysis of India's foreign and security policies, examining e.g. the country's security, economic and trade ties and interactions with Pakistan, China, the United States, Japan, the Middle East and ASEAN. Furthermore, the contributors provide the reader with an overview and analysis of the quality and challenges of India's regional and global trade and investment policies. While in the past India has been a reluctant and not particularly prominent foreign and security policy actor in East and Southeast Asia as well as globally, China's resurgence and its assertive and increasingly aggressive regional security policies have led India's policymakers to reconsider the country's decades-old non-alignment policies and opt for expanding security and defence ties with the United States, Japan and others. The Indian-Chinese border clashes in 2020 and China's unlawful occupation of disputed territories along the Indian-Chinese border in the Himalayas have convinced Delhi's policymakers and the country's security and defence elites that India is well advised to join and contribute to US-led China containment policies. The expansion of India's security and defence ties with Japan over recent years in particular will continue to be instrumental to keeping Beijing's territorial expansionism in Southeast and South Asia in check.
This volume analyses India's involvement and engagement in regional and global trade and investment structures and flows in great detail. Written by a team of prolific European and Indian scholars, the book will be of interest to researchers in the fields of international relations and security studies, as well as policymakers at governmental or international organizations.
