India's foreign policy posture in recent years, particularly towards the region of West Asia and North Africa (WANA), has been a subject of intense debate. India's growing relationship with the US and Israel, and its 'lukewarm stand' on the Iraqi crisis and the Iranian nuclear issue has been seen as a fundamental shift in the Indian foreign policy exercise. Critics have accused the succeeding Indian governments during the last decade and a half of abandoning its independent foreign policy, of deviating from Nehruvian national consensus in foreign policy matters, and towing the pro-American line. Others have argued that the radical shift in the orientation of Indian foreign policy in terms of its pro-American tilt bears the mark of realism and pragmatism that is dictated by the demand of globalization. This book examines the political, economic, cultural, security, and diasporic dimensions of the evolving relationship between India and countries of WANA in the context of globalization.

This study represents an attempt to investigate the cultural component of India-West Asia relations from various angles. It is an attempt to fill the vacuum in existing literature on cultural aspects of India-West Asia relations.

Since the early 1990s, India's economic interests and its self imagination as an emerging global power have assumed a higher priority in defining India's foreign policy and security goals. This has guided the Indian policy makers to intensify its engagements with Iran, Saudi Arabia, Israel, and other Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries - around which Indian foreign policy in the region revolves today in the political and economic sense of the term. This book deals with the evolving political and economic dynamics and interactions of India with global and regional powers in West Asia, with particular focus on the Persian Gulf in the post-Cold War period. It examines India's multi-dimensional relations with global powers such as the US, Russia, China, and regional powers and organizations like Iran, Israel, Turkey, and GCC respectively.
Stretching from Iran to Turkey, West Asia has loomed large for India's foreign policy makers, irrespective of its politically turbulent nature. India has tried to build good relations with West Asia, since both are endowed with vast resources of a varied nature, making for a highly desirable relationship. With a large population and economic potential, India can play a vital role in the development of West Asia. On the other end of the spectrum, West Asia has the potential to meet the growing energy requirements of India. This book explores and analyzes India's multi-faceted engagement with West Asia from an interdisciplinary perspective. The research papers included in the book relate to energy security, migration, bilateral trade, diplomatic relations, India's policy on Palestine, and the issue of terrorism.

Nationalism and globalization are two major contradicting forces in the world today. The roles that these two forces play and the impact of globalization on countries differ. Both Western and Asian "nation-states" have faced the challenge of globalization in recent decades, and the challenge has become more intense since the 1990s. The decline of communism and socialism as ideologies, and the decreasing importance of national boundaries for capital, companies and even labour, have had profound implications for national identity. Thus, the impact of globalization on "nation-states" is not identical. How have "nation-states" coped with globalization? Has it led to stronger nationalism or national disintegration? What has happened to national identity? Is the concept of "nation" still relevant in the era of globalization? To answer these questions, twelve countries -- six from the West (France, UK, USA, Yugoslavia, Australia, and Russia) and six from Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Japan, China, and India) have been selected for study. These countries represent a wide range of national experiences from "old" states to "new" states, from mono-ethnic nations to multi-ethnic ones, and from surviving nation-states to decaying ones. Apart from the individual country studies, the last chapter summarizes and compares the findings of these country studies, throwing light on the various types of nationalism, and the gains and losses of these countries in the process of globalization.
