| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The recent withdrawal of India from the strategically vital RCEP (Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership) agreement has been seen by the opposition in India as a bow down of the Narendra Modi government to their opinion. Votaries of the government view this as a timely move to reflect the uncompromising nature of the government on question of ‘national interest’. In the midst of such analysis at domestic setting, this paper argues that Narendra Modi government has build up a model of ‘national foreign policy’ of India which is based on ‘nationalism and monologue’ different from the model of ‘consensual Nehruvian foreign policy’ based on ‘democracy and dialogue’. The paper argues that theoretically a mix of realism and constructivism while practically a mix of domestic electoral strength and external presence capacity have added a uniqueness to Modi’s foreign policy experience. |
