The volume attempts to examine the different facets of Japan’s interaction with the South Asian Countries especially with India in the post-cold war era. South Asia so far was not considered as primary area in the Japan’s Foreign Policy. However, in the recent years due to liberal polices adopted by India and other South Asian countries, interaction between Japan and SAARC countries has entered into a new phase. Japan now is taking keen interest in cooperating in the economic development of South Asia and has also adopted a new approach in its security and defence polices towards these countries. Japan is also taking serious interest in India’s nuclearisation policy and its relation with the neighbours particularly with Pakistan. This volume thus examines Japan’s economic and security interests in South Asia in general and India in particular.
