How domestic constraints hamper India's foreign policy and its
potential as a superpower One of the most important developments in
today's changing international system is the emergence of India as
a rising power. However, Rajesh Basrur finds that India is hobbled
by serious domestic constraints. Subcontinental Drift explains why
India's foreign policy is often characterized by multiple
hesitations, delays, and diversions that may ultimately hamper its
rise. Basrur analyzes the concept of policy drift through the lens
of neoclassical realist theory to reveal why this drift occurs so
regularly in Indian foreign policy and how it affects India's quest
for major power status. Using four cases-the India-US strategic
partnership, India-Sri Lanka relations, India's nuclear strategy,
and crossborder terrorism-Basrur identifies two basic explanations
for India's indecision on critical issues. The first, involuntary
drift, is related to the distribution of domestic material power,
while the second, voluntary drift, is produced by a responsibility
deficit. Basrur develops a fresh theoretical basis for
understanding the relationship between India's foreign and domestic
policies and introduces a series of theoretical refinements to
neoclassical realism. Subcontinental Drift also provides advice on
how policy makers might lower the costs of policy drift. This
innovative analysis is essential to understanding the constraints
around India's foreign and domestic security decisions and how they
will affect its rise.
