India's economic rise since the 1990s has been followed by a more prominent global role for the country. Despite economic setbacks in recent years and huge domestic challenges like poverty, caste issues, and gender inequality, India today is almost universally characterised as an "emerging power". At the same time, the country continues to show an enormous diversity. Thus, exploring emerging India can surely not be confined to economic analysis only. Instead, it is vital to take current developments in domestic and international politics, society, culture, religion, and political thinking into consideration as well. Following an interdisciplinary approach, contributions from Political Science, International Relations, Indology, Political Theory, and Economics are fundamental in order to grasp the country's diversity. This collection assembles eight essays which, individually, serve as working papers reflecting the authors' various research focuses, while collectively composing a multifaceted and multidis-ciplinary picture of emerging India. It thereby reflects the approach the University of Würz-burg's Centre for Modern India and the Institute for Political Science and Sociology's India Forum are committed to: bringing together different academic disciplines in order to generate nuanced insights into India's manifold diversity. ; Indiens wirtschaftlicher Aufstieg seit Beginn der 1990er Jahre geht mit einer immer promi-nenteren globalen Rolle des Landes einher. Trotz ökonomischer Rückschläge und gewaltiger innerer Herausforderungen wie Armut, Kastenwesen und Geschlechterungleichheit wird Indi-en heute einhellig als "Emerging Power" charakterisiert. Gleichzeitig ist das Land weiterhin von enormer Vielfalt geprägt. "Exploring Emerging India" – dieses Unterfangen kann daher nicht auf wirtschaftliche Aspekte beschränkt bleiben. Unverzichtbar ist vielmehr, auch aktuelle Entwicklungen in Gesellschaft, Kultur, Religion, politischem Denken und nationaler wie internationaler Politik in den Blick zu nehmen. Um die indische Vielfalt zu erfassen, ist daher ein interdisziplinäres Zusammenspiel von Beiträgen aus Politikwissenschaft, Internationalen Beziehungen, Indologie, Politischer Theorie und Wirtschaftswissenschaft essentiell. Dieser Band versammelt acht Essays, die zum einen als Arbeitspapiere die Forschungsschwerpunkte ihrer jeweiligen Autoren widerspiegeln, zum anderen aber in ihrer Gesamtheit ein facettenrei-ches und multidisziplinäres Bild des aufstrebenden Landes zeichnen. Der Band folgt damit dem Ansatz, dem sich das Zentrum Modernes Indien der Universität Würzburg und das Indi-en-Forum des Instituts für Politikwissenschaft und Soziologie verschrieben haben: dem Zu-sammenführen verschiedener akademischer Disziplinen, um differenzierte Einblicke in Indiens reichhaltige Vielfalt zu gewinnen.
