- W749263187 abstract "Nalinikant Jha and Subhash Shukla (eds.), India's Foreign Policy: Emerging Challenges (New Delhi: Pentagon Press, 2012), Pages: xxxvi+295, Price: Rs. 995.00.The problem with reviewing edited books is that there cannot be a general appreciation or criticism as each write-up has its own specificities, both in positive and negative contexts. This is so when a book has as many as 21 chapters - grouped in five rubrics.In introductory Overview, Shibashish Chatterjee writes extensively on hitherto existing theories on foreign policy. One may differ in perception but in-depth analysis by writer cannot be denied. He says it is essential to understand that structure and units not free standing; they constitute each other ... there is hardly a pure structural effect (p. 6). Secondly, postulation that the constraints and opportunities of system structure are invariably filtered through domestic level variables (p. 6) especially later is particularly debatable because of use of word invariable. The author highlights implications of disintegration of Soviet Union, which shifted global order from bipolarity to unipolarity; Iraq and Afghan war in post-Cold war era being a test in case (p. 8); with prediction of (only) having the assets to turn into superpower in future (p. 9). The author claims that extension of Sino-Indian rivalry can be seen in Southeast Asian region and continental Australia, particularly in context of India's Look East policy (p. 14). Classifying dominant discourse in Indian foreign policy as pragmatist and maximalist, he is optimistic that with time both would be more attentive to India's domestic bases of grand strategy, in both their cognitive explanations and policy recommendations (p. 20).In his futuristic analysis, Partha S. Ghosh has taken far too many sub- heads like socio-economic indicators both positive - like secularism, economy, (pp. 23-24) and negative - like casteism, communalism, regional disparities (p. 25), poverty (p. 26), education (p. 27), demography (pp. 28-29) to be able to do justice to topics. On contrary, it takes attention away from foreign policy domain, to which it returns only in end with conclusion that notwithstanding all din and bustle . democracy would push India forward, though pace may not be as fast as China (p. 34). Such an assertion seems out of place as China-India comparison in context of democracy hardly holds any water. His comments on foreign policy dynamics say nothing new in context of neighbours. Comments on India's chances in Security Council despite its growing military power and on improvement in - US relations after President Bush's and President Hu Jintao's visit (p. 33), are also rather sweeping.R.S. Yadav traces paradigm shifts in post-Cold War Indian foreign policy. The order is multi level interdependence and resembles a complex three-dimensional chess game, he says. Whereas at one level, order is unipolar, at another level US is not a hegemonic power (as it has to bargain on equal terms with EU); and at third level, transnational relations include non-state actors like bankers and cross-border terrorists etc who are outside control of governments (p. 37). This, in turn, has led India aligning with major powers, in place of its earlier policy of non-alignment, transforming into strategic partnerships; seeking regional cooperation; and pursuing economic diplomacy. He warns against a complete departure from idealism, .without guiding forces of principles, naked power is likely to have dangerous consequences for world (p. 42). The otherwise well written article moves from specific to general and becomes very vague at end when it seeks new orientations to suit both short and long term goals (p. 43).Mohanan B. Pillai and Mohan Joshi talk of a shift in economy than in Indian foreign policy. …" @default.
