Description

The Asia-Pacific region has become the pivot of global politics. This trend is bound to swell in the foreseeable future. India`s profile has rapidly increased since the last two decades and now, India is being considered as an important country in shaping the power equilibrium at the global level in general and within the Asia Pacific in particular. The security architecture is also changing in the region and in this prevailing scenario, India has the golden opportunity to maximise its national interests. The sudden rise of China and its divergence of interests with India and many other important countries within the region have further complicated the situation. India had a coalition government from 1989 to 2014. The 2014 general elections gave a unique majority to the Modi-led BJP.

At this juncture, India needs to reformulate its policies in order to cope with the emerging situation. PM Modi is considered a strong leader and has adopted a pro-active foreign policy. India has to reformulate its foreign policy in a structural manner to cope with the changing global power structure. It has emerged as an important foreign policy challenge to the Narendra Modi led-NDA-2 government.
