Summary/Abstract |
This article presents an overview of Indo-African ties in the post-Cold War period in the context of the accelerated pace of globalization and economic reforms. It begins by taking cognizance of a few significant social realities in Africa such as the advent of democratic regimes in different African countries, the burgeoning of regional organizations as also the emergence of the African Union, the growing presence of India and China in Africa, etc. Subsequently, it analyzes the complexities of Indo-African ties in the realm of security, trade, business, investment and overall development cooperation and suggests the pathways that could refashion such ties under globalization.

Summary/Abstract |
Latin America is finally on the radar of Indian foreign policy-makers after decades of peripheral engagement with the region. While the China factor may have prompted this rethinking, India has its own pragmatic reasons to cultivate the Latin American countries. The reasons for Latin America's new gaze falling on India are equally compelling-the end of the Cold War, the decline in US influence in the region and the spread and consolidation of democracy. The combination of new factors has allowed the region to search for partnerships far beyond the region, particularly Asia. If India provides attractive markets for resource rich Latin America, India is looking for new markets and investment destinations to meet the demands of its fast-growing economy. If India has to match China's presence in Latin America, it will need to address various impediments like high tariffs, prohibitive transportation costs and other trade barriers.
