Bilateral and regional arrangements have gradually become permanent features of the global foreign policy architecture. India is keen to play a more pronounced role in, and with, regional and international organizations. Revamping of foreign policy-making establishments is a must to manage regional and international relationships. Are India's defence, nuclear, maritime, terrorism and cyber policies strategic enough to deal with today's challenges? Preparations for and views on resorting to the use of force to meet these challenges are of utmost importance. This book consists of ten scholarly papers authored by scholars from India and abroad. These papers examine and survey various aspects of India's bilateral and multilateral relations with neighbors, important regions, regional organizations, and big powers. India's response and position on selected global issues are also set forth. The included essays will provide valuable insights into the understanding and conduct of India's bilateral relations in the context of its foreign policy formulation.
