About the Book: India After Nonalignment examines the evolution of India’s foreign policy and its long-term ambition to emerge as a distinct centre of power in an increasingly multipolar world. Tracing India’s journey from nonalignment and strategic autonomy to a more proactive role in international affairs, the book explores its approach to military alliances, global norms, geopolitics, and the balance of power. Using a fresh conceptual framework, Jacob offers insights into India’s changing position in the international system and the implications of its growing global influence. An essential read for students and scholars of international relations, geopolitics, and South Asian studies.
