This volume explores India⁰́₉s role in the global governance architecture post-Cold War. It shows how, with a rise in India⁰́₉s capabilities, there is an expectation from its external interlocutors that New Delhi ought to play a larger global role. As Indian policymakers re-define their engagements in the global policy matrix, the essays in the volume analyse: India⁰́₉s role as a challenger and a stakeholder in world politics; its uneasy relationship with Western liberal democracies; and its role in shaping new structures of global governance. The volume focuses on a host of critical issues including nuclear policy, climate action politics, India⁰́₉s bid for a permanent seat at the UN Security Council, humanitarian interventions, trade governance, democracy promotion, India⁰́₉s engagement with other emerging powers in platforms such as the BRICS, the changing dynamics with its neighbours, and maritime governance. A timely reimagining of global politics, this book will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of politics and international relations, climate change, military and strategic studies, economics, and South Asian studies.

India's foreign policy, out of the structural confines of the Cold War strategic framework, has become more expansive in defining its priorities over the last few years. With the rise of its economic and military capabilities and strategic interests, India has shaped a diplomacy that is much more aggressive in the pursuit of those interests. Tracing the trajectory of India's foreign policy in the 21st century, this book examines the factors that have shaped the Indian response towards this emerging international security environment.

With India's economic rise, India is trying to bring that focus back, making its navy integral to national grand strategy. This volume is the first full-length examination of the myriad issues that have emerged out of the recent rise of I.
