Tripathy, Amulya K Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The UPA government had a broad approach to India’s emergence as a regional and global power but has never articulated it in terms of a strategy. In essence, it is to delay some of the instruments of power projection while India achieves economic development and growth with balance, in an effort to uplift all the Indian people. The focus of this policy is on the welfare of the people and consequent benefits of political consolidation, while not unduly constraining the reforms and growth needed to pay for them. Prominent risks to the strategy include the interlocking problems of security and governance.

Bajpai, Arunoday Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The thirty years of existence of South Asian Association of Regional Cooperation (SAARC) amply demonstrates that it has experienced huge failures amidst patches of success stories. It has remained far away from its final goal of regional economic integration as well as fast socio-economic development. There have been many serious academic attempts to analyze the causes of its failures and put forth suggestions to remove its weaknesses. The policy makers in South Asian capital have struggled hard to overhaul its structures and operations, but final story remains the same e.g. South Asia is the least integrated region in the world.

0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract In the present world order marked with extreme complexity, contrariness, presence of strong counter-trend in every trend, India’s foreign policy must contend with but also make skilful use of the contradiction to moderate the rigours of hostile trends and challenges.
