The book explores the competing grand strategic worldviews shaping
India's foreign and security policies by analyzing the interaction
between normative modern international relations theories and
vernacular concepts of statecraft and strategy. To assess the
diverse competing ideas which characterize India's debates on grand
strategy and foreign policy, the author presents the
subculture-cleavage model of grand strategic thought. This
innovative analytical framework reveals the complexities of India's
strategic pluralism and offers the building blocks for a systematic
analysis of grand strategy formation. The book demonstrates that
the strategic paradigms, or strategic subcultures, are marked by
contending ideas of Indian statehood and civilization, held by
policymakers and the informed public, and are a result of
ideology-driven perceptions of the country's strategic environment.
The author argues that the apparent hybridization and stretching of
modern and traditional concepts of international relations in India
has become a widespread feature of Indian foreign policy to meet
the needs of state formation and nation-building. A unique approach
to organizing and understanding the debates and discourse in Indian
strategic thinking, the book will be of interest to specialists and
students in the field of International Relations, political theory,
South Asian Studies, and India's foreign and security policy.
