Over the last 25 years, India's explosive economic growth has
vaulted it into the ranks of the world's emerging major powers.
Long plagued by endemic poverty, until the 1990s the Indian economy
was also hamstrung by a burdensome regulatory regime that limited
its ability to compete on a global scale. Since then, however, the
Indian government has gradually opened up the economy and the
results have been stunning. India's middle class has grown by leaps
and bounds, and the country's sheer scale-its huge population and
$2 trillion economy-means its actions will have a major global
impact. From world trade to climate change to democratization,
India now matters. While it is clearly on the path to becoming a
great power, India has not abandoned all of its past policies: its
economy remains relatively protectionist, and it still struggles
with the legacy of its longstanding foreign policy doctrine of
non-alignment. India's vibrant democracy encompasses a vast array
of parties who champion dizzyingly disparate policies. And India
isn't easily swayed by foreign influence; the country carefully
guards its autonomy, in part because of its colonial past. For all
of these reasons, India tends to move cautiously and deliberately
in the international sphere. In Our Time Has Come Alyssa Ayres
looks at how the tension between India's inward-focused past and
its ongoing integration into the global economy will shape its
trajectory. Today, Indian leaders increasingly want to see their
country feature in the ranks of the world's great powers-in fact,
as a "leading power," to use the words of Prime Minister Narendra
Modi. Ayres considers the role India is likely to play as its
prominence grows, taking stock of the implications and
opportunities for the US and other nations as the world's largest
democracy defines its place in the world. As she shows, India
breaks the mold of the typical "ally," and its vastness, history,
and diversity render it incomparable to any other major democratic
power. By focusing on how India's unique perspective shapes its
approach to global affairs, Our Time Has Come will help the world
make sense of India's rise.
