INDIA IN THE NEW WORLD ORDER : THE CHANGING CONTOURS OF HER FOREIGN POLICY UNDER NARENDRA MODI BY RAJ KUMAR MOTHARI (HARDCOVER)

This involvement must be premised on well-defined principles that aim to advance national interests of the concerned independent sovereign state.

In this backdrop, the present volume seeks to assess the trends and directions of India's foreign policy in the post-cold war years with special emphasis on the tenure of Narendra Modi.The book has been very timely and would be of immense help to policy makers, diplomats, researchers and academia in general.
