INDIA RISING C

India Rising unpacks the countrys approach to global governance by systematically considering three potential factors—ideas, interests, and institutions—that have an impact on Indias foreign policy making. The editors and contributors of this volume examine possible explanations for Indias varying compliance with global regimes and its contributions to the development and change of those regimes in areas such as nuclear non-proliferation, maritime security, counter-terrorism, cyber-governance, democracy promotion, climate change, and trade policy.The book also discusses how India is globally perceived in differing ways: as a hub of diplomatic interaction and as a difficult negotiator with a frequently inflexible stance. Looking at the prime ministerial years of Manmohan Singh and Narendra Modis first term, it examines Indias often ambivalent approach to global governance and foreign policy making in the backdrop of its image as a rising global power. It thus seeks to answer the primary question: What drives rising Indias conduct on the world stage?
