Publisher's Synopsis
This volume puts into perspective the dynamics of India's relation with Central Asia, and assess the role of the major powers in this region. The recent years have witnessed a fundamental change in the international context. This change has been brought about by the forces of globalization, disintegration of Soviet Union and the emergence of the US as a pre-eminent power. Not only ideologies and politics has taken a backseat in the era of globalization but the notion of nation, nation-state and territory-upon which traditional diplomacy was sought to be constructed-has undergone notable changes.
