India and the Future of Asian Geopolitics. 330 $aThis book examines India's geopolitical gravity, and argues that the country is well positioned to play a game-changing role in the evolving world order. It begins by mapping India's political geography, and goes on to assess India's neighbourhood diplomacy, its pluri-vectoral strategic partnerships with major powers, and identifies the geo-strategic challenges. One of the key aspects herein is to evaluate India?s emerging role in the Indo-Pacific architecture. Issues pertaining to QUAD, South China Sea, mega-regional blocs and Indian Ocean geo-economics are discussed. A very interesting aspect is to decipher the future of Asian geopolitics considering the role of the two Asian giants, India and China. Additionally, the book examines scenarios for an India-led stability pact for the Indian Ocean. In 2023, as host of both the G20 and SCO summits, India?s geopolitical gravity culminates in its role as the key geopolitical pivot of contemporary international affairs. Maintaining non-alignment, and more recently, seeking strategic autonomy, have been at the core of India?s foreign policy imperatives. Re-emerging as a great power, India is in a unique strategic position to become a center of gravity by providing a strategic rebalance between Western dominance and the Eastern aspirations. As such, the book is indispensable for learners of international relations, geopolitics, foreign policy, and Asian and Indian Studies. It also provides useful insights for policymakers, academics, think tanks, and readers with interest in India?s future role in global geo-economic and geostrategic architecture. 410 0$aSocial Sciences Series 606 $aHuman geography 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aAsia$xPolitics and government 606 $aInternational economic relations 606 $aHuman Geography 606 $aPolitical Science 606 $aAsian Politics 606 $aInternational Political Economy? 615 0$aHuman geography. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aAsia$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aInternational economic relations. 615 14$aHuman Geography. 615 24$aPolitical Science. 615 24$aAsian Politics. 615 24$aInternational Political Economy?. 676 $a304.2 700 $aLambert$b Alexandre$01214693 701 $aAhmed$b Faisal$01816643 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911022455603321 996 $aIndia?s Geopolitical Gravity$94431480 997 $aUNINA
