This compendium of 16 papers aims to examine the emerging contours of India’s foreign policy towards her neighbouring countries—Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Afghanistan and Maldives. Focusing on re-orientation of Indian foreign policy in the context of her neighbours, it analyses the changing dynamics of regionalism in South Asia, the challenges of maritime security in India’s neighbourhood, and the issue of water security.
It also discusses at length India’s bilateral relations with Bangladesh, the strategic dimensions of India’s relations with Sri Lanka, the Pakistan factor in India-Pakistan relations, the factor of unending Indo-Pak rivalry in India-Afghanistan relations, the promotion of democracy by India and the US in the Af-Pak region, the proactive partnership between India and Nepal and the issue of ethnic identity in Indo-Nepal relations.
