Kamboj, Anil Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The focus of its relations with China should remain on maintaining peace and tranquillity along the border and expanding economic cooperation. Given Beijing’s recent actions on Pakistan-sponsored terrorism and Indian membership of the NSG, India should respond more assertively on issues like China’s violations of the UN Convention on the Law of the Seas. Despite present bonhomie, Moscow and Beijing have historically had ties clouded by rivalries, tensions and mistrust.

Chakaborti, Tridib Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract India’s foreign policy discussion remains incongruous without the mention of India and Pakistan relation. Since independence, both India and Pakistan has been in logger heads with each other and the origin of their conflict is regarding the Kashmir issue. Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee during his tenure had tried through diplomatic ways and bilateral dialogue to resolve the various issues which hinder their bilateral ties. However, his repeated efforts could not fulfill his aim of developing friendly relations with its immediate neighbours. At present our present Prime Minister Narendra Modi is also trying to carry forward the legacy of Vajpayee with regard to India’s relation with Pakistan.

0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The blockade following adoption of the new constitution stoked up anti Indian sentiment in Nepal .Instability in the Nepalese territory bordering India might encourage other neighbours to use the terrain for activities adversarial to India’s interests. Trade and commercial relation with Nepal will be hampered .Terai region being the conduit for India- Nepal business operations; a troubled Terai will be unfavourable for congenial bilateral relationship as well as regional stability. In view of these factors India cannot maintain passive indifference but engage Nepal strengthening its democratic institutions and dispelling the misperceptions for the benefit of both the countries.

India’s neighbourhood policy: miscalculations, mismanagement and imperatives / Gupta, Alok Kumar   Journal Article
Gupta, Alok Kumar Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract An integrated South Asia shall always be in the larger interest of India. It shall turn out to be an economic giant and attractive for the external powers of the regional as well as the world. However, delineating a more integrated South Asia is no mean task. In the South Asian context, the centrifuge operated by India-Pakistan relations draws the region apart. India at this juncture need to rethink about implanting the ‘Idea of India’ in the heart and mind of leadership as well as people of the region. Undoubtedly, challenges are there before Mr. Modi to reinforce the ‘Idea of India’ by aligning the goals of ensuring that we are the largest democracy of the world and also a global power to be recon with. Such an endeavour will not be successful if Indian leadership fails to be magnanimous in their thought and actions.

India’s Northeast and its neighbourhood / Das, Samir Kumar   Journal Article
Das, Samir Kumar Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract How does one make sense of, understand and interpret India’s foreign policy in general and her neighbourhood policy in particular? While acknowledging that there are indeed many approaches in this regard ranging from the realist and the currently fashionable neo-liberal approach at one extreme to the Marxist one at another (a brand of which even maintains that India’s policy towards the developing world of Asia and Africa is one of domination), in this essay I propose to follow an altogether different route.

Modi’s neighbourhood policy: an overview / Yadav, R S   Journal Article
Yadav, R S Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract In case of China, present regime is following a cooperative- competitive syndrome through enhanced economic ties, on the one hand; and, collaborating with external powers to manage Chinese assertive influence, on the other hand. With Pakistan main emphasis has been to build goodwill and confidence, along with offensive- defense strategies. With proximate smaller states Modi’s is continuing with the past approach of reconciliation and appeasement towards them. In the extended neighbourhood, India is making efforts to develop broader consensus on macro- global issues, on the one hand; and, asserting its position for attaining appropriate place in the emerging multi-polar global order, on the other hand.
