Full Description
The book analyses how India's rise to the status of an emerging power has affected New Delhi's Africa policy, after sketching the historical evolution and normative underpinnings of Indo-African relations, and what challenges it has brought for New Delhi's engagement with the continent.
India and Africa share a history dating back millennia. Today, India is one of Africa's biggest trading partner countries, second only to China. The country regularly extends lines of credit worth billions to African nations, and its pharmaceutical producers dominate many African markets; almost one-fifth of India's oil imports and more than one-quarter of its natural gas imports come from the continent. However, relations between India and Africa are far from being limited to economic cooperation.
The book scrutinises three foreign policy fields: (1) India's foreign economic policy towards Africa with an in-depth analysis of Indo-African trade, investment and lines of credit; (2) NewDelhi's development cooperation policy vis-à-vis Africa, its principles, instruments and volume; (3) India's politico-diplomatic foreign and security policy vis-à-vis Africa, including New Delhi's high-level diplomacy, security and diaspora policy as well as multilateral Africa policy.
