In his new book, â€˜Diplomatic Journey: Emerging Indiaâ€™, Prof. Harish Kapur deals with the totality of Indiaâ€™s Foreign Policy since its independence in 1947. The focus of the book is on how Indiaâ€™s Foreign Policy is determined, what are its permanent features and who decides its framework. It is divided in three parts: Part I is devoted to an analysis of the environmental factors (domestic, regional and global) that influence Indiaâ€™s Foreign Policy. Part II conceptualizes Indiaâ€™s foreign policy goals â€“ the goals of security, of modernization, of regional hegemony and of international role playing. Each of them has been defined, analysed and evaluated. Part III deals with decision making process. First of all the author deals with the different institutions that are concerned with foreign policy. But the most interesting aspect of this part is the decision maker. Here Kapur focuses on the Prime Ministers of India and their role in Indiaâ€™s Foreign Policy.
