  1. 1. Does The Elephant Dance? Contemporary Indian Foreign Policy

    Contemporary Indian Foreign Policy

    The book analyzes India’s post–Cold War foreign-policy evolution, arguing that its international behavior reflects a tension between rising global ambitions and persistent domestic and regional constraints. It traces how economic liberalization, nuclearization, democratic politics, and institutional capacity have shaped strategic choices—balancing strategic autonomy with selective engagement with the United States, hedging against China, managing a fraught relationship with Pakistan, and seeking greater influence in multilateral forums. Emphasis is placed on the interaction of domestic politics, ideology, and bureaucratic limitations with external opportunities and threats, producing a cautious, incremental approach to power projection and global integration.
