ABOUT THE BOOK
The dawn of the current regime in 2014 has witnessed the ushering of a
new era of Indian stronghold in global affairs. The fundamental changes in the
global affairs are affecting India`s domestic and international politics. The
attitude of Indian dispensation therefore has been geared towards meeting these
challenges; the conventional approach to understanding India`s foreign policy
has strategically been replaced by reasoning and sine qua non. In the current
scenario, India is shifting gears by not only emerging as a global power in
terms of economy, defense and clout but also by influencing and shaping the
different dimensions of global agendas as per its prerequisites and national
interests. In this light, India in Global Affairs: Changing Dynamics and Emerging
Role discusses the evolution, continuation and the paradigm shifts that have
taken shape in the global affairs with relation to India and establishes the
fact that increasing influence of India in the global affairs is now bringing
India to the forefront where India’s diverse, plural democracy stands out and
sets an example for rest of the world to emulate.
