| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The Look East policy enunciated in early 1990s aimed at engaging with the economically dynamic nations of South East Asia. Indian policy towards Southeast Asia evolved from the imperative of developing stable political and economic relations in the post cold war era and the need to build stronger ties with a region that was growing rapidly. In the initial stage, it was mainly driven by forces of energy and economic requirements. Latter on political, strategic and regional dynamics were also attached. In this paper the regional dynamic of India-ASEAN relations has been discussed. India thinks that ASEAN plays a major role in the Asia-Pacific regionalism. ASEAN serves not only as a regional platform to address Southeast Asia’s regional and global affairs, but also facilitates interaction with other multilateral bodies like the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), ARF ASEM, SCO etc. |
