Summary/Abstract |
As Prime Minister Narendra Modi is pushing for closer political and – in line with his national priorities – economic ties with India’s neighbors as well as partners, every one’s eyes are on New Delhi’s new economic diplomacy policy. While economic diplomacy is most visible and most watched during high-level visits, the real challenge is to make it operate effectively all year long. Some steps in this direction were already taken under the previous government; the Modi government’s recent actions indicate that it intends to carry this further. It should be stated that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visits to Bhutan and Nepal, and the invitation of SAARC leaders to his swearing in ceremony, point to an acknowledgement that for India to prosper, the country needs to engage with its neighbours and work towards a stable and peaceful region.

Summary/Abstract |
The McKinsey paper which has been quoted above in the text rightly claims that while solar power can certainly help to satisfy the desire for more electricity and lower carbon emissions, it is just one piece of the puzzle. There are thus, many more challenges that even this newly emerging sector shall have to face and many of them may be common across the world. Several technologies are competing to win the lowest-cost laurels, and it’s not yet clear which is going to win.

Summary/Abstract |
To revamp the theoretical debate stated in the paper, realism as a theory of International Relations stresses on the importance of power in the international arena, which it considers anarchic and based on self-help of states. In such a situation, it is every state for itself. On the other hand liberalism espouses the use of reason in the international arena for the realization of peace and justice; it holds that democratic countries have pacific international relations and most importantly that free trade would create a more peaceful international order. Realities of the Indo-Pakistani conflict dyad show how far the progressive theories of liberalism have been undermined.

Summary/Abstract |
At the end we can conclude that although prosperity is not a sufficient condition for peace, it is unquestionably a factor that can help in achieving peace and in its maintenance. It is seldom prosperity in itself that reduces tensions, but rather the absence of extreme differences in levels of prosperity. In many cases, trade, as one of the main economic diplomacy tools, can play a facilitating role in fostering sustainable development and peace. Therefore, it is imperative that the international community work to make trade and globalization contribute to successful development. To this end, accelerated economic growth and increased returns from trade should be channelized into achieving human and social development including food security, energy security, rural development, and universal access to essential services, gender equity, and poverty reduction.

Summary/Abstract |
India’s relations with island state of Sri Lanka and Maldives have many ups and downs in recent years. Sri Lanka’s economy is likely to grow at a faster pace but it is not clear whether the ethnic issue would be resolved. Internal tensions in Sri Lanka would put pressure on the country’s growth. India’s relationship with Sri Lanka should be multifaceted. The process of integrating Sri Lanka’s economy with that of India should be continued. Maldives would be struggling with the adverse consequences of climate change and seeking closer ties with India to manage them. India should assist Maldives as comprehensively as possible. The region can progress if the countries of the region create interdependencies and cooperate with each other to tackle common challenges.

Summary/Abstract |
A perusal of India’ s diplomacy reveals the fact that from the mid-1990s, India has slowly shifted away from its rigid opposition to service trade and finally by the mid-2000s adopted an aggressive pro-service liberalization posture and indulged in extensive economic engagements to bolster the image of India as a reliable economic partner. However, there is still room for improvement. A proactive, holistic and integrated approach should replace piecemeal efforts based on adhocism and hasty negotiations to enjoy the perceived benefits. Given the context of enormity of challenges involved, pursuit of matured economic diplomacy is the need of the hour.

Summary/Abstract |
Because of the geographically proximity, shared common history and cultural affinity India and Central Asia are considered natural allies. There is interest today on both sides to strengthen economic cooperation, which would also deepen our overall relationship with the Central Asian states. India's policy towards Central Asia has been ad hoc in nature and reactive rather than taking a pro-active stance toward developments.

Summary/Abstract |
India is a country of enormous prospects in the field of economics, commerce and trade and many more things. The irony is that India itself does not recognise it. It is like a sleeping lion. The time has come for the lion to awaken and very rightly so the Prime Minister’s flagship programme of ‘Make in India” is symbolised by the lion. With the programme like skill development it is hoped that India will transform its vast army of young population into a productive human resource and a parallel to the IT sector will emerge which can contribute in a huge way to the GDP.

Summary/Abstract |
Africa offers India a massive access to commodities, its markets and investments. And economic diplomacy has certainly taken precedence in recent years. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been very proactive in reaching out to different countries to collaborate at different levels, emphasising also on economic diplomacy. Following the IAFS, there were talks that Modi should project India as an alternative to China, as the Chinese economy is slowing.

Summary/Abstract |
New Delhi’s economic policy pursues a dynamic interaction with other countries deepening its commitment towards its goals to deepen and secure national economy, political security and regional integration. ASEAN (Association of South East Asian Nations) in this stance has been a crucial link towards providing regional cooperation among member nations and India. There is little doubt over China’s already grown influence in the South Asia and Asia- Pacific region with it showcasing its hard power status politically and militarily.

Summary/Abstract |
Both the regions had historical and civilizational bonds and enjoyed good economic ties. But these economic ties had frozen on account of colonial dynamics for an extended period. With the breakup of Russia, the Central Asia has emerged on the geopolitical landscape. Since then, both India and Central Asia are having good political relations, but the economic ties including trade and investment are at the lowest level despite the launch of several policies. The Modi government took over the reins in 2014.

Summary/Abstract |
The South Asian Free Trade Agreement (SAFTA) commenced in 2006, envisaging a duty free area by 2016 for all Member Countries. However, the success achieved under the treaty has been quite limited; intra-SAARC trade has continued to be around 4 percent of the total trade of the region. It has been argued that one of the reasons for SAFTA being ineffective is because of the large Sensitive (sometimes called negative) Lists maintained by Member Countries; such items are not offered concessional tariffs.
