The world is experiencing a strategic transition from the short-lived post-Cold War unipolar system to a new and complex configuration of international relations. In this fast-changing global scenario, the important role of South Asia has come to be felt more than ever before. South Asia, which consists of eight States and more than one-fifth of the world's population, has emerged as a vital region in the emerging global order due to its geo-strategic significance, growing economic dynamism, fragile State structures, and crisis in governance. This book contains 16 research articles that provide deep insights into the complex and multi-faceted nature of South Asia in the globalized world. These essays have been authored by scholars representing the disciplines of international relations, comparative politics, economics, security studies, and political economy.

India is a regional power, a nascent global power and a potential superpower. India has a growing international influence and a prominent voice in global affairs. After India gained Independence from the United Kingdom in 1947, it strongly supported independence movements in other colonies. Jawaharlal Nehru, India s first Prime Minister, was the architect of India s foreign policy. During the Cold War, India adopted a foreign policy of not aligning itself with any major power bloc. However, India developed close ties with the Soviet Union and received extensive military support from it. The end of the Cold War significantly affected India s foreign policy, as it did for much of the world. In the post-Cold War era, a significant aspect of India s foreign policy is the Look East Policy launched in 1992. India s growing economy, strategic location, and a large and vibrant Diaspora have won it more allies and partners. India has friendly relations with several countries in the developing world. The foreign policy of Prime Minister Narendra Modi indicates a shift towards focusing on the Asian region and, more broadly, trade deals. This volume contains 9 research articles, authored by scholars in the field of political science, international relations, comparative politics, economics, security studies and political economy. These contributions provide useful material to understand contemporary dynamics of India s foreign policy and diplomacy.

India is a federal parliamentary democratic republic. The Constitution defines the organization, powers and limitations of the Central and State Governments. India has a multi-party system, consisting of various types of national as well as regional political parties. Political parties represent different sections and regions and play a major role in the politics of India. Through the electoral process, the people of India choose their representatives to run the government. There is a widespread perception in the country that disparities amongst states, and regions within states, between urban and rural areas, and between various sections of the community, have been steadily increasing in the past few years. The gains of rapid growth witnessed in recent past have not reached all parts of the country and all sections of the people in an equitable manner. That this perception is well-founded is borne by available statistics on a number of indicators. Widening income differentials between more developed and relatively poorer states is a matter of serious concern. Livelihood options in rural areas are also limited as agriculture does not provide adequate returns and industry is virtually absent leading to limited trade and services. People seeking employment in low skill and hence low paying jobs is a common manifestation of these constraints in many rural areas. In short, the pattern of economic development over the years has left in its trail a variety of inequalities which have caused socio-politico tensions. The present volume contains 11 papers-authored by scholars in the field-which provide an in-depth analysis of various issues confronting the Indian economy, and how they are to be resolved within the democratic framework of the country.

India was the largest importer of defence equipment in 2014 with Russia, Israel, France and the United States being the top foreign suppliers of military equipment. The Government of India has launched Make-in-India initiative to indigenize manufacturing and reduce dependence on imports, including defence imports and procurement. The beginning of the 21st century saw reorientation of India on the global stage from a regional role in the sub-continent to a major role in the Indian Ocean region stretching from Gulf of Aden to the Malacca Strait. Contemporary criticisms of the Indian military have drawn attention to several issues, such as obsolete equipment, lack of adequate ammunition, and inadequate research and development due to over-reliance on foreign imports. In the context of defence preparedness, national security means that a government should protect the state and its citizens against all kind of national crises through a variety of power projections such as political power, diplomacy, economic power, military might, and so on. Elements of national security include: (a) military security, (b) political security, (c) economic security, (d) environmental security, (e) security of energy and natural resources, and (f) cyber security. National Security Council (NSC) of India is an executive government agency tasked with advising the Prime Minister s office on matters of national security and strategic interest. The three-tiered structure of the NSC comprises of the Strategic Policy Group, the National Security Advisory Board and a Secretariat represented by the Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC). This volume contains 10 research articles, authored by experts in the field, which provide deep insights into the defence and national security preparedness and concerns of India.
