India’s Great Power Politics

  • Publisher: Routledge India
    2021
This book examines India’s foreign and defence policy changes in response to China’s growing economic and military power and increased footprint across the Indo-Pacific. It further explores India’s role in the rivalry between China and the United States.

The book looks at the strategic importance of the Indian Ocean Region in the Indo-Pacific geopolitical landscape and how India is managing China’s rise by combining economic cooperation with a wide set of balancing strategies. The authors in this book critically analyse the various tools of Indian foreign policy, including defence posture, security alignments, and soft power diplomacy, among others, and discuss the future trajectory of India’s foreign policy and the factors which will determine the balance of power in the region and the potential risks involved.

The book provides detailed insights into the multifaceted and complex relationship between India and China and will be of great interest to researchers and students of international relations, Asian studies, political science, and economics. It will also be useful for policymakers, journalists, and think tanks interested in the India–China relationship.

Chinese dragon’s increasing presence in the Indian Ocean

Research Fellow, IDSA Dr. S. Kalyanaraman’ review of the book The Costliest Pearl: China’s Struggle for India’s Ocean by Bertil Lintner, titled ‘Chinese dragon’s increasing presence in the Indian Ocean; has been published by ‘The Tribune’ on November 10, 2019.

Describing the book as a useful contribution to one’s understanding of the new Asian Drama unfolding in the Indian Ocean , Dr. Kalyanaraman writes that China’s pursuit of the ambition of controlling the Indian Ocean is compelling other states with island territories to strengthen their internal defences as well as enhance security cooperation. On this aspect, Lintner provides excellent overviews of the island territories and threat perceptions of India, France and Australia, and highlights their coming together along with Japan and America in an informal alliance “to counter China’s increasingly assertive stand” in the Indian Ocean Region.
