Diplomacy

Narendra Modi's energetic personal diplomacy and promise to make India a 'leading power', made soon after his landslide election victory in May 2014, surprised many analysts. Most had predicted that his government would concentrate on domestic issues, on the growth and development demanded by Indian voters, and that he lacked necessary experience in international relations.

Instead, Modi's time in office saw a concerted attempt to reinvent Indian foreign policy by replacing inherited understandings of its place in the world with one drawn largely from Hindu nationalist ideology. This book explores the drivers of this reinvention, arguing it arose from a combination of elite conviction and electoral calculation, and the impact it had on India's international relations under Modi.

Reviews for Modi and the Reinvention of Indian Foreign Policy

This is essential reading. Ian Hall brilliantly links the domestic imperatives driving current Indian foreign policy to the challenges India faces in a rapidly changing world . Katharine Adeney, University of Nottingham This is a very well argued, thoughtful and historically astute reading of a new era in Indian Foreign Policy. It connects India's strategic thinking under Modi to an ideological framework in a novel and refreshing way. It will be a rewarding starting point for Indian foreign policy discussions. Pratap Bhanu Mehta, Ashoka University
