Historical Dictionary of India
The Republic of India is the second most populous, the seventh largest by geographical area, and has the fourth largest economy in terms of purchasing power parity in the world. While it has always been an important country, it has often been neglected. Of late, however, there has been much talk of the 'new' India, one with greater economic dynamism, a more active foreign policy, and the emergence of a huge middle class. With over a hundred new cross-referenced dictionary entries-the majority of which pertain to the last decade-and updating others, the second edition of the Historical Dictionary of India illustrates the rapidly evolving situation without neglecting the country's ancient past. The chronology has been brought up to date, the introduction expanded, and the bibliography includes numerous new titles.
The A to Z of India
Alphabetically arranged entries cover key individuals; major events; important institutions and organizations; and significant economic, political, social, religious, and cultural issues.
India's Search for Power
India's Search for Power is a scholarly and analytic assessment of Indira Gandhi's foreign policy during her two tenures in power (1966-77 and 1980 to date). Dr Mansingh has provided a well balanced and comprehensive account of the structure and effects of her foreign policy which goes a long way to becoming the definitive study of the subject. In his foreword Selig Harrison described the book as 'a significant contribution to the literature on South Asia, one that will be of enduring interest to students of India's foreign policy as well as to those interested in the larger problems of relations between developed and developing countries.' Surjit Mansingh first examines Indira Gandhi's foreign policy legacy, and the way in which she modified it. Major foreign policy objectives, and the instruments at Mrs Gandhi's disposal in achieving those ends are also outlined. In the final chapter the book examines Mrs Gandhi's economic diplomacy and India's relationship with institutions such as the World Bank, the IMF, and the EEC.

Three Sides in Search of a Triangle
Singapore is America's closest security partner in Southeast Asia. The United States has decided to help India become a major world power in the 21st century, an objective that is furthered by the nuclear agreement between them. Singapore's relationship with India is an increasingly pertinent feature of Southeast Asia's political and strategic landscape. Whether these three realities, taken together, lay the basis of a triangular relationship among Singapore, America, and India is the question that this book seeks to answer. The book begins with a review of the notion of Pax Americana and goes on to describe the state of bilateral relations among the three countries as they have evolved since the end of the Cold War. Subsequently, it analyses three core issues - the Global War on Terror, the rise of China, and the agency of democracy in international relations - that play a defining role in relations among Singapore, the United States, and India. The book concludes by suggesting some directions in which these relations might move.
Indian and Chinese Foreign Policies in Comparative Perspective
Papers presented at a conference held in Feb. 1992, organized by the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library, New Delhi.
Engaging India
Recent nuclear tests in India and Pakistan make it clear that the US can no longer continue a policy of benign neglect toward India. This book engages the key issues for nonproliferation and foreign policy that affect Indo-American relations. It addresses under-explored areas such as missile control and space cooperation, chemical and biological weapons, and the use of sanctions versus incentives. This book goes beyond historical analysis to offer practical recommendations for policymakers in both countries.
