The Making of a Global Bharat
" An ambitious and articulate Bharat is reimagining its global engagement at a time when cracks are appearing in the post-1945 world order. A host of challenges—such as the rise of multipolarity, the onset of deglobalisation, the advent of a technological revolution, the deepening polarisation between the East and the West, and the divide between the Global North and South—are upending the established order that was built on a foundation of hope and cooperation. Old ideas and institutions can no longer hold the weight of our problems, even as assumptions of the past need a radical rethink. This issue of the GP-ORF Series, titled The Making of a Global Bharat, celebrates India’s global ...
India and Central Asia in the Post-Cold War Era
This book analyses the evolution of India’s foreign policy towards Central Asia after the end of the Cold War. Focusing on the development of India’s foreign policy towards Central Asia between 1991 and 2020, this book investigates the explanatory and intervening variables of the policy towards the region to identify its goals, assumptions, motivations and instruments. The preliminary assumption is that India’s foreign policy towards Central Asia has evolved after the Cold War from a passive approach to an active participant in Central Asian security, economic and socio-cultural spheres. This is also seen due to the emergence of the five Central Asian countries as independent states, w...
Pakistan?s Tug of War
The Pakistani state is in trouble, riven by power struggles and social conflict. Regionalism, ethnic division and sectarian partisanship within the armed forces have added up to a political and economic breakdown and a complex civil war.

Here, a lifelong analyst of Pakistani politics and society reflects on the complex interplay of military, political, and societal factors in the country. Musa Khan Jalalzai explains the political and security situation, the impact on society of torture and enforced disappearances, the ongoing conflict in Balochi...

Russia-Eurasia Relations
After the Cold War, a new era began in the Eurasian region, with the countries that gained their independence from the USSR acquiring a place in the international system. After 1991, the absence of strong international gravity in Russia increased the positive relations of many countries with the West. As this book shows, across the world, there are regions caught between identity and power. In this respect, the ideological origin of the Russian Federation’s foreign policy goals is connected with its position as a great power. On this note, the book analyses the great powers’ challenges in Eurasia within the framework of strategic interests, conflict, and cooperation.
