"In den sechziger und frühen siebziger Jahren bildeten Geberländer und ausgewählte Nehmerländer so genannte entwicklungspolitische Konsortien. Diese ermöglichten eine Multilateralisierung von Entwicklungskooperation und eine längerfristige Planung von Transferleistungen. Der Beitrag zeigt, dass diese Konsortien entwicklungspolitisch sinnvoll waren, aus politischen Gründen jedoch keinen Bestand hatten. Untersucht wird diese Form multilateraler, langfristiger Entwicklungskooperation an den Beispielen Indien, Pakistan, Türkei und Indonesien." (Autorenreferat)

International observers looking into the future see China, the United States, and India as the world's largest economies, and these analysts assume that with the rise of India and China there will be a corresponding growth in these countries' military capabilities and their foreign policy interests. India's rise to power, however, is dependent on its ability to resolve its internal challenges as well as its willingness to participate as a stakeholder in the international system -- particularly in what has been described as the Indo-Pacific region. This book examines why India's foreign and security policy is configured in its current manner and where it is headed in the short to medium term. It does this by looking at India's central interactions as well as its foreign policy actions in adjacent areas like Southwest and Southeast Asia. It then goes on to look at where the Indian government is headed in the future within the Indo-Pacific region.

Menon and Subimal Dutt, in Africa, China, the USSR and other countries and their relationship with the Indian political leadership.

Es erhob sich in letzter Zeit der Ruf nach einem energischen Auftreten Indiens gegen das Militärregime in Burma immer lauter. Die Rufer übersahen allerdings, dass die indisch-burmesischen Beziehungen, wie auch die zum Rest Südostasiens, alles andere als eng und damit die Möglichkeiten der Einflussnahme ausgesprochen gering sind.
