This book examines in detail the strategic relevance of the
Arthashastra. Attributed to the fourth century B.C., this classical
treatise on state and statecraft rests at the intersection of
political theory and international relations. Adopting a
hermeneutic approach, the book discusses certain homologies related
to concepts such as power, order, and morality. Underlining the
conceptual value of the Arthashastra and classical texts such as
Hitopdesha and Pancatantra, this volume highlights the non-western
perspectives related to diplomacy and statecraft. It shows how a
comparative analysis of these texts reveals a continuity rather
than a change in the styles, tactics, and political strategies. The
book also showcases the value these ancient texts can bring to the
study of contemporary international relations and political theory.
This volume will be of interest to students, scholars and teachers
of political studies, Indian political thought, and philosophy,
South Asian studies, political theory and international relations.
