India's Foreign Policy 2020

Foreign Policy is not fixed concept as it keeps on changing according to changing Domestic and International condition. National Interest is the core objective of Foreign Policy of a Nation. The secondary National Interest may change with time but the primary National Interest endures. In International Community, every Country has to interact with other Countries. This interaction is not haphazard but takes place with definite orientations and objective. These orientations and objectives form the core of Foreign Policy. National Security is an example of primary interest. No country can compromise with its National Security for the sake of most beloved principles of Foreign Policy. Modi Ji has been a Foreign Policy Prime Minister in his first term. He relished global engagements and never gave an impression that his lack of experience on the Foreign Policy front was a handicap. In fact, he made it his strength as he encouraged greater involvement of India States in diplomacy. The US-China relations are a subject, receiving the closest possible attention not only from the government but also from Indias strategic and academic communities as well as the media. So if you wish to know where the world is heading and what India role in it will be, you well advised to follow developments relating to major powers, especially the key issues between the US& China. The book describes in detail the factors in each period of history which forced India to change its Foreign Policy stance, first in the interest its Trade and Commerce (becoming a Globalized Economy in 1991) and later, overwhelmingly, to ensure its National Security(due of opening up of its Border) in a Polarised World.
