Indian Foreign Policy

The Politics of Postcolonial Identity from 1947 to 2004

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The rise of India as a major power has generated new interest in understanding the drivers of its foreign policy. This book argues that a more complete account of state action can be produced by focussing on the role that ideas and discourse play in producing India's state identity and shaping its foreign policy behaviour.
