India is rising. Consequently, its
international profile, engagements and obligations have also grown
significantly. There are newer, challenging and complex demands on India from
the international community at every level that both arouse and strain,
India’s aspirations and legitimate interests. This leads to an intense and
absorbing debate within and outside India on the course that Indian foreign
policy should chart and the position that India should take, or not take,
on specific issues. While Indian policy makers and strategic community need
to grasp and address these issues, the international community also is
expected to understand India’s aspirations and imperatives of its global
engagements.
Ever since its launch in February 2006, Indian Foreign Affairs
Journal, a peer reviewed quarterly publication of the
Association of Indian Diplomats has become an intellectually satisfying and
analytically enriching forum for the examination of relevant but sensitive
and complex issues of India’s foreign policy and relations. Such
examination is undertaken by experienced decision makers, serious scholars
and seasoned commentators. The Journal remains true to its credo,
publishing authors of widely divergent views, and at the same time,
searching for unifying themes and principles in an era where these are
especially hard to find. The Journal is thus filling a long-standing gap in
the availability of insightful and credible literature in the field.
Besides in-depth scholarly and policy oriented articles,
each issue of the Journal presents a Debate on one of the
contemporary and contentious aspects of India’s foreign policy.
In addition, the Journal includes a special and unique section which
brings out and preserves in print, the hitherto unknown aspects of
India’s diplomatic experience and policy initiative through its Oral
History narrative, in the course of tête-à-tête with senior and
highly experienced policy makers who have made decisive contributions in
the evolution of the policy and its challenging issues. The Journal also
reviews latest books on India’s foreign policy and its relations.
Inevitably, articles published in Indian Foreign Affairs Journal shape the
political dialogue for months and years to come
