To most perceptive observers world politics is currently witnessing two conflicting trends: first, no one state is in a position to deal with global challenges, be it economic or military security; and second, neither there is scope for any collective global initiative because the number of stakeholders and players on the global arena is significantly on the rise. Against this background, emergence of the Indo Pacific as a new geo-strategic construct or constellation is perceived as yet another evidence of a rapidly changing multipolar global order the salience of which is as much commended as it is intensely contested. Well-conceived and structured, the book titled India-Australia Relations: Evolving Poly-centric World Order is a purposive academic venture by a group of young and perceptive scholars of India and Australia. The prime objective of this enterprise is to focus and fathom the unfolding strategic contours of the Indo-Pacific region and its ramifications for the evolving bilateral relations between India and Australia
