 | The Interface of Domestic and International Factors in India’s Foreign Policy Subjects: Area Studies; Politics & International Relations; Asian Studies; Asian Politics; Government; International Political Economy; International Relations; South Asian Politics; Governance; Globalization; Foreign Policy; International Relations Theory; South Asian Studies; This book investigates the interplay of internal and external constraints, challenges and possibilities regarding foreign policy in India. It is the first attempt to systematically analyse and focus on the different actors and institutions in the domestic and international contexts who impose and push for various directions in India's foreign policy. Rather than focusing on any one particular theme, the book explores the myriad aspects of foreign policymaking and the close interface between the domestic and external aspects in Indian policymaking. In turn, this relates to the structural issues shaping and reshaping the Asian regional dynamics and India's connectivity within a globalized world. This book will be of great interest to postgraduate students; scholars of Asian Studies, development, and political science and international relations; and all those involved in policy - especially foreign policy - within India and South Asia. It will also be useful for people working in professional branches of consultancy and the private sector dealing with India and with South Asia in general.
