India in a Multipolar World

India persistently advocates for revamped multilateralism, forging a responsive, inclusive, just, and representative global order that suits the complexities of the 21st century. It believes a multipolar world will ensure international security, stability, and prosperity, and avoid the dominance of power or bloc. This comprehensive book brings together accomplished academicians and practitioners through multidisciplinary and analytical methodologies to examine India's role in shaping the multipolar world, calibrating strategic partnerships with major powers, and steering solidarity and leadership in the Global South. It provides different aspects of India's role through its partnership with multilateral organizations, major powers, and neighbours, demonstrating how India's values and principles are reflected in its policies to promote a multipolar world. It facilitates understanding of India as a responsible country and reliable partner through theoretical and situational assessments that are invaluable to researchers, teachers, and policymakers.

This book is designed for postgraduate students, researchers, academicians, policy makers, and think tanks engaged in teaching, research, and policy formulation concerning international relations, South Asian politics, foreign policy, diplomacy, and global governance. It provides an invaluable and pragmatic understanding of India's commitment towards promoting a multipolar world order and its leadership in the Global South.
