| Summary/Abstract |
More than any other dimension of India’s foreign policy, India’s economic dynamism is spawning debates and deliberations regarding the trajectory of India’s rise as a regional power and a global power of some reckoning. The election of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his ‘Make in India’ campaign and the emphasis given to economic ties with the major powers, have elevated economic diplomacy as the cornerstone of India’s foreign policy. Economic diplomacy, like all other forms of state apparatus, is intended to promote India’s national interest. And, the new government under Prime Minister Modi’s leadership has laid out a competent blueprint of a rejuvenated economic diplomacy. Only time will tell if the blueprint is effectively implemented, concretizing India’s growth trajectory in the comity of nations.
