Transformation of India’s Foreign Policy: Shaping the Global Order as a Responsible Power

Over the last decade, India’s standing on the world stage has transformed as it expanded its regional and global profile as a responsible power. Indian foreign policy under Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been marked by diplomatic dynamism, intensified global engagements and increased presence at international multilateral forums. Adherence to strategic autonomy has strengthened and nurtured its relations with world powers and on global issues. Any vision for the future of the world remains incomplete without India and its growing diplomatic profile across geopolitical, geoeconomic, maritime, technological, and cultural dimensions. Its foreign policy has successfully capitalised on several opportunities while also facing unanticipated challenges along the way. Analysing the trajectory of Indian foreign policy through Prime Minister Modi’s vision, the volume examines issues related to India’s growing profile at global multilateral forums, economy and trade, soft power, diaspora, and the intersection between foreign policy and national security.
