India and Russia: Towards Strategic Partnership

Ever since the beginning of NATO’s Crusade of Yugoslavia, Russian Federation has gradually embarked its foreign policy for bipolar world characteristics, paving the way for strategic partnership. This volume conveys Russia’s foreign policy strategies towards India’s periodic re-assessment of the international politics. The editor would reveal Indo-Russian strategic interests for long search of security in Asia and rectification of neighbouring balance of relations. Today, India and Russia are worried by the fact that Asia is developing into one of the planet’s most explosive regions. Extremism and separatism present major threats to peace and stability in Asia. Nuclear and Missile technologies are proliferating the arms and drug trafficking and international terrorism are spreading in frightening proportions. Both states are equally interested in the creation of a more democratic, multipolar world and want peace and stability to become a fact of life in the vast Asian continent. The treaty of peace, friendship and cooperation signed cast a bright light on the essence of "special" Indo-Russian relations opening the door for strategy. It sets such common goals and spheres of cooperation. The Russian Federation makes and carries out its foreign policy more correctly than before. The staff of the President in the Kremlin to the department of Foreign Affairs, Defence and Treasury, several intelligence and a few dozen of other departments have a direct impact both on determining what the Russian Federation does abroad and then in carrying out the government’s decision. Against this background, this book fairly deals with how the Russian Federation is able to devise foreign and strategic defence policies, for carrying these out to build international support for them. The focus of the book is to reconstruct the Indo-Russia’s strategic partnership that has arisen in the process of the emergence of polarism. Viewed from this prospective, the book would be the reflection of scholastic to foreign policy experts and will encourage the importance of strategic treaties for the benefits of bilateral issues. Since both the countries are interested in creation of a democratic & multipolar world, the objective of the strategic partnership is to set a common goal in sphere of understanding through diplomatic relations.
