This comprehensive volume delves into India's evolving role in the global governance architecture post-Cold War. It explores the growing expectations from India's external interlocutors, as its capabilities continue to strengthen, for it to assume a more significant global role. As Indian policymakers reevaluate their engagements in the global policy matrix, the chapters within this volume examine India's multifaceted role as a challenger and a stakeholder in world politics, its complex relationship with Western liberal democracies, and its instrumental role in shaping the emerging structures of global governance.

The volume is particularly focused on a range of critical issues, including nuclear policy, climate action politics, India's pursuit of a permanent seat at the United Nations Security Council, humanitarian interventions, trade governance, democracy promotion, India's interactions with other emerging powers in platforms such as the BRICS, the evolving dynamics with its neighbors, and maritime governance.

A timely and insightful examination of global politics, this book will appeal to scholars and researchers in the fields of politics and international relations, climate change, military and strategic studies, economics, and South Asian studies. It offers valuable insights into India's growing influence and its complex interactions with the international community, providing a valuable resource for understanding the evolving dynamics of global governance in the 21st century.
