SynopsisThe book examines India's current and looming foreign policy challenges from a strategic and policy-oriented perspective. It analyzes the long-term factors and trends that should determine the country's foreign policy formulation. The author urges a reappraisal of India's approach if it is to become a major player in the complex and rapidly evolving 21st century world. Strategic Conundrums: Rethinking India's Foreign Policy focuses on India's immediate and strategic neighborhood. It also looks at important issues like energy security, economic diplomacy, the interaction between defense and diplomacy, and foreign policy institutions. A unique feature of the book is that it combines the perspectives of a historian, a diplomat and a scholar. With many new out-of-the-box ideas and policy suggestions, it makes a valuable contribution to the ongoing debate on foreign policy within India's strategic community. This lucid and succinct book is a must-read for policy-makers, diplomats and foreign policy analysts. The corporate and business community too will find it professionally relevant. It is also an important knowledge resource for students of Indian politics, international relations, and defense and strategic studies, and others who are interested in India's foreign policy., In today's complex and challenging geopolitical environment, India is much stronger, more confident and increasingly influential. The new generation of Indians is not content to see the country as an 'also-ran'; it has the ambition to see India become a major global player. The country must levarage its comparative advantages, such as its size, geographical location, demographic dividend, large and growing market, robust economic growth, cultural aattractiveness and the talent as well as financial and political clout of its large diaspora. To be a truly credible leading power, India must accelerate its economic growth, build up its military strength and be more self-reliant militarily and technologically.
