Description
Vikas Publishing House Foreign Policy Of India, 7/E by V N Khanna & Leslie K Kumar
This authoritative work on India's foreign policy rests on the fundamental values of international relations that India has cherished. Efforts have been made to analyze these values and to evaluate to what extent these have been implemented and to what extent these have been effective.
This edition of the book has been updated to include new issues that have emerged and have come to dominate India’s foreign policy concerns. India’s stance on Climate Change has undergone an evolution in the last two decades which is important to understand. Similarly, India’s relation with Israel which was tepid and limited till 1992 has undergone a radical transformation ever since. India has forged a close and important partnership with Israel which will be critical going forward for it, especially in the defence sector. India and Israel have also come to share a sense of solidarity, being common victims of terrorism as was highlighted by the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks of 2008. Thus, it is important to take stock of India’s growing relationship with Israel.
Furthermore, the rise of China is the biggest geopolitical challenge India faces in this century. This edition discusses how India is seeking to formulate a foreign policy in accordance with its emergence as a major international power. It also discusses India’s relations with its neighbours in South Asia.
