This book provides a state-of-the-art analysis of Indias foreign and security policies, examining e.g. the countrys security, economic and trade ties and interactions with Pakistan, China, the United States, Japan, the Middle East and ASEAN. Furthermore, the contributors provide the reader with an overview and analysis of the quality and challenges of Indias regional and global trade and investment policies. While in the past India has been a reluctant and not particularly prominent foreign and security policy actor in East and Southeast Asia as well as globally, Chinas resurgence and its assertive and increasingly aggressive regional security policies have led Indias policymakers to reconsider the countrys decades-old non-alignment policies and opt for expanding security and defence ties with the United States, Japan and others. The Indian-Chinese border clashes in 2020 and Chinas unlawful occupation of disputed territories along the Indian-Chinese border in the Himalayas have convinced Delhis policymakers and the countrys security and defence elites that India is well advised to join and contribute to US-led China containment policies. The expansion of Indias security and defence ties with Japan over recent years in particular will continue to be instrumental to keeping Beijings territorial expansionism in Southeast and South Asia in check. This volume analyses Indias involvement and engagement in regional and global trade and investment structures and flows in great detail. Written by a team of prolific European and Indian scholars, the book will be of interest to researchers in the fields of international relations and security studies, as well as policymakers at governmental or international organizations.
