Contemporary world politics is fluctuating between States trying to assert independent path towards progress and the major powers trying to dominate the scene both politically and economically. The end of the Cold War left the United States as the sole Super Power. Economic reforms and the WTO system favoured the larger and more efficient players on the global scenario.India’s relations with the Afro-Arab and Asian world particularly in our post-Independence period constitute a significant part of our foreign policy. The major developments in this respect brought out in the articles and presentations of the author make interesting reading. The views expressed in the context of our current developments fit in with the historical perspective.
