Does the Elephant Dance?

Contemporary Indian Foreign Policy

David M. Malone

This book elegantly surveys key features of contemporary Indian foreign policy. David Malone identifies relevant aspects of Indian history, examines the role of domestic politics and internal and external security challenges, and of domestic and international economic factors. He analyses the specifics of India’s foreign policy within its South Asian neighbourhood, and with respect to China, the USA, West Asia, East Asia, Europe, and Russia, as well as multilateral diplomacy. The work also touches on Indian ties with Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean

India’s ‘soft power’, the role of migration in its policy, and other cross-cutting issues are analysed, as is the role and approach of several categories of foreign policy actors in India. Substantive conclusions cite policies India may want or need to adjust in its quest for international stature.

This paperback edition will appeal to both scholars and students of international relations as well as policymakers, diplomats, journalists, strategic affairs experts, and informed readers.
