Item type: chapter

the issue of international relations (IR). It examines how India views the
world from various vantage points and analyses the contributions that
have been made by Indian literature to the prevailing global debates in
IR. It evaluates the loci of Indian IR in the mainstream, and considers
Indian peace perspectives in the new millennium and contemporary
Indian perspectives on international law.
Normative Dimensions of Indias International Engagement

A.K. Ramakrishnan

September 2013
DOI: 10.1093/
Item type: chapter
This chapter examines the literature on Indias foreign policy which

is directly or indirectly related to international norm. The analysis
indicates that Indian foreign policy writings have rarely been informed
by normative considerations mainly due to the predominance of statecentric realist and neo-realist approaches therein. This chapter explores
the normative aspects of Indian international engagements, focusing on
the principles of non-alignment, democracy, liberal internationalism, and
human rights. It also provides an overview of the concept of norms and
their deployment in international relations theory.

The Analysis of the Practice of Indian Diplomacy

Deep K. DattaRay

September 2013
DOI: 10.1093/
Item type: chapter
This chapter traces how the Indian practice of diplomacy has been
conceptualized and suggests that this practice often relies on
unreflexively applied frameworks of standard international relations
discourse. It contends that this state of affairs may be attributed to a
set of assumptions presenting the practice of Indian diplomacy as a
European derivative. This chapter also considers the issue of hegemonic
conceptualization and the role of the Mahabharata in the practice of
diplomacy.

Priyankar Upadhyaya

September 2013
DOI: 10.1093/

embedded in the existing political arrangements in Indian scholars

distinctive frames of references of writings by Indian scholars. These

include the realist paradigm, the notion of border as space, and the

orientations, the notion of politics, ontological preferences, and the
purpose of scholarship.

into account factors such as global convergence of policies to formulate

policy space for the states. It also identifies key issues that changed the
Indian academic thinking on international law, including trade-related
aspects of intellectual property rights, international environmental law
and climate change.

Nuclear Weapons, Indian Strategy, and International Politics

Rajesh Rajagopalan

September 2013
DOI: 10.1093/
Item type: chapter
This chapter discusses key concerns in the literature on nuclear weapons

produced outside India and analyses the history of Indias nuclear
policy. It suggests that while Indian scholarship has made significant
contributions, it has been focused mainly in South Asia and remains
limited to contemporary policy analysis without much effort at generating
or testing international relations theory. It also highlights the need for
Indian literature to focus on issues such as Indias approach to global
nuclear issues and the relationship between nuclear weapons and
military strategy.

summarizes the pattern of nuclear development in India during the
Nehru-Bhabha years. The next section examines the three themes of
Nehru's nuclear policy. Two diagrams illustrate the process and structure
of the nuclear debate and the decision process for nuclear science
