Praise for the book "STATECRAFT & FOREIGN POLICY: INDIA 1947-2023", University of London/ DCU Press:

Statecraft and Foreign Policy is a tour de force that will define how we think of India in global politics for decades to come!"

BRUCE BUENO DE MESQUITA, Julius Silver Professor of Politics, New York University, USA

"The authors have done the almost-impossible - they have provided a synopsis of the most important phases, relationships, and issues that mark the country's policies beyond its borders. And they have done it engagingly and with sophistication...free of jargon and abstruse theorizing, and yet with a penetrating point of view."

KANTI BAJPAI, Professor Vice Dean & Wilmar Professor of Asian Studies, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore

"A sweeping overview, in holistic perspective. Covers independent India's 75 years, narrating policy development and diplomatic actions. Incisive, balanced, and insightful."

KISAN S. RANA, Emeritus Professor and Former Ambassador of India to Germany

"This book offers both a wide compass of Indian foreign policy across its 76 years but also a focused lens that assesses change and continuity across different periods and varied dimensions of foreign policy. Domestic and international variables are brought together in the analysis with a focus on how the Prime Ministers think about and visualize their foreign policies. Each chapter provides a synoptic assessment including additional readings making it an excellent reference that brings analysis of foreign policy up to date. The discussions of India's multilateral engagements on trade, climate change and international negotiations is a valuable addition to usual bilateral discussions of foreign policies."

ASEEMA SINHA, Wagener Chair of South Asian Politics and George R. Roberts Fellow at Claremont McKenna College in California, USA

"Mitra, Schottli, and Pauli have crafted a remarkably deep analysis of India's foreign policy. They have not only reviewed the details of India's foreign affairs, itself no small task, but they have done so in an analytic framework grounded in a profound evaluation of the intertwining of domestic and foreign policy choices and compunctions. As contemporary India has emerged as one of the world's great powers - great in every sense of that term - this book is essential reading for policymakers, diplomats, scholars, and students of Indian affairs and world affairs."
