Dimensions of Indian Foreign Policy & the Growing Challenges
Every sovereign country has its foreign policy. India too has one. Foreign policy refers to the sum total of principles, interests and objectives which a country promotes while interacting with other countries. Even though there are certain basic features of a foreign policy it is not a fixed concept. The thrust of foreign policy keeps on changing according to changing international conditions. India’s foreign policy is shaped by several factors including its history, culture, geography and economy. Our Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, gave a definite shape to the country’s foreign policy. The Republic of India is the second most populous country and the world’s most-populous democracy and has one of the fastest economic growth rates in the world. With the world’s tenth largest military expenditures and eleventh largest economy by nominal rates or fourth largest by purchasing power parity, India is considered to be a regional power and a potential global power. It is India’s growing international influence that increasingly gives it a more prominent voice in global affairs. India has historically played a prominent role in several international organizations. It has a long history of collaboration with several countries and is considered a leader of the developing world. India was one of the founding members of several international organizations, most notably the United Nations, the Non-Aligned Movement, the Asian Development Bank and the G20

    In the opinion editorial “The Four Foreign Policies” by Charles Krauthammer, he uses a humorous tone to start off the article with the following phrase, “If Kasich pulls off a miracle, and he’ll get his own column.” He mentions Kasich because he is explaining the final possible candidates and wants to clarify the unrealistic possibility Kasich has to still become president. However, there is a tonal shift from the humorous tone to a more serious tone when discussing foreign policies. Foreign policies from the different candidates like Trump and Clinton vary and with this Krauthammer utilizes a more serious tone because of the serious matter concerning the foreign policies and how they will influence who an American votes for president. Finally,…

    Society is no more different than it was back then. The unknown past, the horrid future, and the unappreciated present flock everyone; consequently, making them the primary impetus for any decision taken. People that do not know their past leads to an irrational decision made throughout their life. Then, fear of the future comes forthwith the dust that settles from the ignorance of the past, because of the unknown consequences of the present-day’s actions. The future is only as horrid, as long as fate is set stone and the ideology that decisions shape the future. The future is the unwrapping of the present, so the decision that people make today will be reaped tomorrow is given to society by Oedipus myth. Oedipus myth is setting during…

    When asked to define Canadian foreign policy, Lester Pearson, was reported to have replied, “Ask me at the end of the year and when I look back at what Canada has done, I’ll tell you what our foreign policy is.” In other words it is difficult to define what the actual Canadian Foreign Policy is. It is the cumulative decisions, attitudes and statements made by governments in dealing with the international community and the changing conditions prevalent. Developments outside of the boundaries of a nation have an impact on the developments of a nation’s foreign policy therefore it was never ‘formative’ but always…

The development of foreign policy is influenced by domestic considerations, the policies or behaviour of other states, or plans to advance specific geopolitical designs. Leopold von Ranke emphasized the primacy of geography and external threats in shaping foreign policy, but later writers emphasized domestic factors. Diplomacy is the tool of foreign policy, and war, alliances, and international trade may all be manifestations of it.…

    The concept of national interest can be defined as the goals that states pursue to maximize what is selfishly best for their country. It is a very central issue in international relations. National interest could also be defined as the principles, perceptions and practicalities that together shape a state’s foreign policies. Basically, a state’s sovereignty is its most important asset and it seeks to preserve and promote it at all costs. In his book National Interest, Joseph Frankel says that there are three analytical distinctions for national interest. The first distinction is aspirational. This usually covers broad statements of belief that encompasses the nation’s historical view and of the people’s beliefs. The second distinction is operational. This usually includes short term goals that arise from necessity or things that are included in important foreign policies. The third aspect is the basic definition of national interest. National interest calls attention to the real-world environment of international relations by emphasizing that each state exists within a larger entity that is linked to an even bigger system which also tries to advance its own political interests. This attention to the system allows policy makers in other states the opportunity to make an educated decision on their advancements in relations with external states as well as making inter-state agreements by searching for common goals. A foreign policy that has a clear statement of national interest has the advantage of staying power during overseas ventures because it allows for a clear understanding of the state’s position on specific issues. I will touch on several important political plans and doctrines that have affected the relations with rest of the world with the United States.…
