"India's contemporary rise to prominence will significantly impact upon geopolitics in the coming decades and is a key pillar in the widely anticipated Asian 21st century. As India's stature continues to increase across Asia and the world, appreciating which interests and principles structure her international interaction has never been more important. Focusing upon the country's contemporary emergence as an economic, military and now diplomatic powerhouse, this Edited Book rigorously and informatively sets out the core - and wide-ranging - elements, relationships and challenges essential to conceptualising and analysing this rise. These factors relate not only to consolidating India's pre-eminence within South Asia - as the foundation of its great power claims - but also how it interacts with the world's other great powers in the guise of China, Japan, Russia, France and the United States, and how New Delhi is able to articulate its global vision on the world stage. Prestige, rivalry and leadership permeate these interactions, especially as India asserts its influence and interests concerning issues ranging from the functioning of trade in South Asia, handling border disputes and conceiving of the Indian Ocean Region to climate policy, foreign aid and managing the Covid-19 pandemic. India's future stature will depend on how it deals with these and other concerns"--

Chris Ogden argues that, as the world capitulates to China's preferred authoritarian order, other world powers are moving to this as a dominant global phenomenon, which will transform global institutions, human rights and political systems.

Central to India–ASEAN relations have been a consistent equivalence between their similar core principles and outlooks, which have served as a shared value-based footing upon which the two entities have built and enhanced their relations. These underlying sets of norms inform their diplomatic dealings with each other, and stem from principles and practices critical to their foundational identities and experiences. This article investigates and evaluates the historical roots of these norms and then utilizes them as an analytical vehicle with which to trace the growing strategic convergence typifying present-day India–ASEAN relations. Drawing upon constructivist accounts that emphasize the role played by history, culture, identity and learning, the article considers the key areas of agreement in relations, and how a value-based form of analysis provides an essential lens through which to better understand material factors structuring their relations. It also underlines the analytical value and empirical richness that a norm-based approach provides for analyzing specific sets of norms in a specific state-to-multilateral interaction.

As Asia's largest and most rapidly rising powers in contemporary global politics, relations between India and China are becoming evermore intertwined with each other. Clear commonalities typify this symbiosis, including a shared civilisational basis, a mutual desire to rebecome great powers in international relations and common modernisation goals. At the same time, relations are beset by a number of issues, most notably long-standing territorial disputes, frictions over regional hegemony and wider diplomatic tensions (most prominently relating to China–Pakistan and India–United States ties). As such, India–China relations can be considered to resemble a 'double-edged sword', whereby elements of their interaction can be regarded as having concurrent benefits and liabilities. This article explores the historical roots and contemporary realisation of such a core dynamic over the last 75 years of relations between New Delhi and Beijing and investigates how their strategic goals are often simultaneously convergent and divergent. ; Publisher PDF ; Peer reviewed
