| Summary: | India’s foreign policy started attracting renewed global attention since the beginning of the economic reforms in 1991. With high rates of economic growth during the last two decades–almost 7.5 per cent on the average, though down to sub 5 per cent in the last two years–India’s global trade today contributes over 50 per cent of its GDP, as compared about 3 per cent before. In PPP terms, India is the world’s third largest economy after the
USA and China. India’s growing profile on the international stage has naturally led to questions about the role India seeks to play, or should play, regionally and internationally. Clearly, the world expects India to play a larger role, commensurate with its size and growing power. Consequently, the question has arisen about India’s own perception and assessment of its international
role, and the nature of its global engagement. This process has led to a changing consensus and nuancing of India’s foreign policy thinking and objectives. |
