INDIA’S APPROACH TO WEST ASIA: Trends, Challenges and Possibilities
₹995.00
This volume provides perspectives of scholars from India and West Asia on several bilateral issues of concern, challenges and scope for further cooperation. The authors contend that a convergence of interests between India and West Asian countries across numerous domains, coupled with India’s escalating stakes in the region, and the growing recognition among West Asian nations of India’s burgeoning economic and political influence, stand as key drivers underpinning the India-West Asia relationship. Furthermore, they have underscored that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India’s West Asia policy has undergone a major transformation.
