The Oxford Handbook of Indian Foreign Policy is an essential read
for students at all levels and scholars who want to familiarise
themselves with Indias strategic culture, the role of interest
groups and other domestic factors on India's foreign policy, Indian
Ocean, AfPak and emerging Asia. Scholars are encouraged to have
this as a core textbook on Indias foreign policy and libraries must
have copies of the book.
*Dr Raj Verma, Sonda News*
Has enormous value in providing context to why India behaves the
way it does in its vicinity, and in the wider world. It provides
insights into the objectives, at various stages, of elements of
foreign policy. It tells us about the decision making processes
within the country. It tells us of the shifting priorities of the
state as well as the changing nature of diplomacy, and the
specialized knowledge it now requires. It tells us about the
contribution of some of Indias top leaders to thinking about Indias
global engagement...And, in a fundamental way, the Handbook tells
us the story of India and its journey from being on the margins of
the global power structure yet with ambitions of shaping it to
arriving at a stage where it can exercise influence.
*Prashant Jha, Hindustan Times*
This handbook of Indian foreign policy is a serious and substantial
contribution to the debate on Indias foreign policy approach and
engagements in an era that is witnessing significant changes.
*Talmiz Ahmad, Frontline*
Indian foreign policy has been a relatively under-researched
subject, due, in some measure, to the lack of authentic source
material. However, there is a growing interest in the subject and
the OUP Handbook does a creditable job of providing a comprehensive
survey, spread over 50 chapters, of examining the origins and
development of independent Indias engagement with the world ... the
three editors have done a commendable job of providing a framework
to what could easily have become an unwieldy collection.
*Rakesh Sood, The Indian Express*
The book nicely interweaves how national, regional, and global
factors; roles of formal and informal actors; and objective
(real-structural) and subjective (identity-related) factors shape
Indias foreign policy affairs. The book is cohesive, clear, and
concise; conveys the essence of its topic; and concludes with a
discussion of strategies to support Indias growth as a rising or
constrained power in global affairs.
*CHOICE*
an excellent survey ... essential reading for those who want to
understand Indiaâs foreign policy
*Raj Verma, Royal Society for Asian Affairs*
