India and EU

An Insider's View

Beschreibung

A popular myth maintains that Indo-EU relations are best viewed through the British prism. This disregards the historical evidence of Alexander's march to India and the Roman Empire's trade with India. In more recent times cultural icons like Satyajit Ray have been celebrated more in Paris than elsewhere. India's trade with EU, especially in defence items, is anchored to a greater extent in the continent rather than across the channel. Brexit is now going to take away that British prism. A fresh, and in many ways a profound new Indo-EU relationship is about to emerge. Bhaswati Mukherjee's book "India and EU: An Insider's View" is timely. It traces the past, explains the present state of relationship in all its complexity and looks into the crystal ball. This is an objective assessment by a highly regarded professional of the successes as also the wrinkles of the past in the relationship as well as the practical steps for a more vigorous Indo-EU future. Written with great fluency "India and EU-An Insider's view" fascinates with its vignettes, making it a unique and must read book.

Autor

A career foreign service officer, Bhaswati Mukherjee has a well deserved reputation as one of the most experienced diplomats on Indo-EU relations. She has headed, for the longest time ever, the Indian Foreign Ministry's department specialising in the EU affairs. During this period she piloted institutional linkages like annual Indo-EU Summits to give greater gravitas and stability to the relationship. In a distinguished career of over 38 years, she has been the Indian Ambassador to The Netherlands as well as India's Permanent Representative to UNESCO in Paris. Her international expertise was honed by her earlier work at India's Permanent Mission to the UN in New York and a 6-year tenure with the UN Human Rights Commission and the first High Commissioner for Human Rights in Geneva. Her public interface started young. Being elected as the President of Miranda College's Student's Union gave her the confidence to pursue her passion for human rights and women's rights and later, disarmament and strategic issues as well as heritage and culture. Bhaswati Mukherjee is a trained vocalist. An excellent public speaker, she is an important voice in the Indian media on foreign policy and strategic affairs.
