| Summary/Abstract |
This article examines the role of strategic partnerships in Indian foreign policy and the nature and perceptions of India and the European Union about the strategic partnership. It discusses how both sides look at global governance, normative divergence, and security cooperation. It assesses Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s perceptions and engagement with Europe since coming to power in 2014. It analyses the economic dynamics of the partnership and assesses the reasons for the impasse in the conclusion of a Broad-based Investment and Trade Agreement. It discusses the salient features of EU’s India Strategy (2018). In conclusion, the article argues that in a more volatile world, India is re-engaging Europe with greater vigour and that both sides seek to build and consolidate the strategic partnership on commonalities.
