India in World Affairs presents a unique collection of twenty essays on various aspects of Indian foreign policy. The country has played a remarkable role in international politics during the fifty years since Independence. As the twentieth century draws to a close, a new global order seems to be emerging. If India is to participate meaningfully in this order, it will have to review its past performance in the domain of foreign policy and chart a new course for the future.
