New Great Game in the Indo-Pacific: Rediscovering Indias Pragmatism and Paradox [Paperback]

This book looks at the emerging power dynamics in the Indo-Pacific region and locates India and its interests within the overarching geostrategic framework. With US and China emerging as leading players within the region, the book analyses the challenges to Indias foreign policy in the face of new alliances, counter-alliances, and great power equations that have formed after the Cold War. It discusses important issues such as Chinas strategic forays in the Indian Ocean, the balance of power between countries, Indias Act East opportunities, Russias re-engagement in the region, the South China Sea dispute, Indias maritime strategy, and the conundrum of the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue facing India.
