The volume focuses on various geo-political and economic compulsions driving India and China’s image-building efforts and examines the nuances and characteristics defining their engagement of the region based on primary sources and extensive field study. Leaderships of both countries have been pragmatic in extending the scope of engagement, exploring new ways and means for strengthening the regional relationship and efforts to develop together. Regionalisation, as the book argues, has been deployed by both India and China among their strategies for a positive image make-over. The existing academic literature on both India andChina’s image-building efforts are relatively scant and are yet to be rigorously researched. The book makes an important contribution to the existing literature through its examination of various facets of India andChina’s external engagement and diplomacy for building respective images in Southeast Asia.

India`s strategic outlook has always given importance to its immediate neighbourhood followed by extended neighbourhood. With an rising economic status and increasing acceptance of its role as an indispensable player in global politics, India has enhanced its engagement with the Oceania. The region comprises 14 Pacific island nations and 2 relatively large countries, Australia and New Zealand. India has started engaging the region because of possibilities related to Blue Economy, capacity building and sea bed mineral resources. Further, the large Exclusive Economic Zones of these island nations have opened vast opportunities, but these nations need help in terms of coastal monitoring, sustainable development and human resource management. India has created a niche for itself in these areas by providing technical assistance and low-cost solutions. However, India still needs to take into account these nations` concerns related to nuclear issues and climate change. India`s security and progress are closely connected with those of its neighbours. This book explores the vistas of cooperation, highlighting the common issues and concerns.
