India in a World Adrift: A Rising Power Takes its Place Among Rivals

The pace of change in Asian geopolitics is accelerating. What role will India play in a rebalanced Asian system?

Asian geopolitics has changed rapidly in the recent past, and the pace of change is accelerating. This book, by one of India’s most senior and respected foreign policy minds, examines this moment of flux, and argues that we should prepare for dimming economic prospects and rival power blocs. What is the outlook for India in such a world, including its increasingly close relationship with Australia? Shivshankar Menon argues that India will work ever more closely with the West, as part of New Delhi’s broader quest for strategic autonomy.
