Does the Elephant Dance?

David M. Malone
Published in print: 2011 Published Online: Publisher: Oxford University Press
January 2015 DOI: 10.1093/
ISBN: 9780199552023 eISBN: 9780191803482 acprof:osobl/9780199552023.001.0001
Item type: book
This book surveys key features of contemporary Indian foreign policy.

The text identifies relevant aspects of Indian history, examines the role
of domestic politics and internal and external security challenges, and
of domestic and international economic factors. It analyzes the specifics
of Indias policy within its South Asian neighbourhood, and with respect
to China, the USA, West Asia, East Asia, Europe, and Russia as well as
multilateral diplomacy. The book also touches on Indian ties to Africa
and Latin America, and the Caribbean. Indias soft power, the role of
migration in its policy, and other cross-cutting issues are analyzed, as
is the role and approach of several categories of foreign policy actors in
India. Substantive conclusions touch on policies India may want or need
to adjust in its quest for international stature.

The Evolution of Indian Multilateralism
David M. Malone

January 2015 DOI: 10.1093/
Item type: chapter
This chapter first traces the evolution of Indias approach to

multilateralism over the last six decades. It then focuses on four
substantive fields of foreign policy or forums of significance to its
multilateral stance during this period of global (and Indian) transition and
flux: the United Nations Security Council; the World Trade Organization
and its Doha Round negotiations culminating in 2008; international
efforts to combat climate change; and some emerging international
groupings of states in which India is playing an active role or seeking to.
Conclusions
David M. Malone

January 2015 DOI: 10.1093/
Item type: chapter
This concluding chapter highlights a number of patterns and trends that

emerged from the preceding chapters. It isolates a few specific issues,
mostly regional ones (Kashmir, Afghanistan, China) and management
of the economy, that are likely to remain troublesome for some time. It
speculates on the kind of power India might turn into and whether it can
avoid sharing the burden of managing the global commons and providing
other international goods.
Introduction
David M. Malone

January 2015 DOI: 10.1093/
Item type: chapter
This introductory chapter begins with a brief discussion of Indias

economic growth and how the countrys foreign policy, regional
Page 2 of 5
concerns, and geostrategic views are largely unknown to the rest of
the world, as well as to most Indians. The discussion then turns to the
books methodology and sources, and the scope and organization of the
material.
History
David M. Malone

January 2015 DOI: 10.1093/
Item type: chapter
This chapter reviews the history of India, sketching out aspects of Indian
experience over the millennia that are relevant to its contemporary self-
image as well as some past efforts to project abroad Indian aspirations,
values, and power. It addresses a number of problematic yet common
myths regarding key features of Indian civilization, especially with
regard to the nature of religious communities and their interaction, as
well as the nature of immigration processes and the accommodation
of diverse ethnic and linguistic groups over the twentieth century.
Two broad phenomena emerge as constants in Indian history. First,
the repeated influx of peoples and ideas from the northwest, at times
in the form of invasions, but more often through migration, pastoral
circuits, or as traders and missionaries, is striking. Second, barring the
colonial period, Indian history is characterized by alternating cycles of
imperial consolidation and processes of decentralization, with foreign
influences accommodated and assimilated, and cultural fusions
occurring throughout.
Indias Contemporary Security Challenges

David M. Malone

January 2015 DOI: 10.1093/
Item type: chapter
This chapter examines the internal factors that have shaped Indian
foreign policy post-independence. It first traces the evolution of Indias
domestic politics and foreign policy since independence. It then discusses
various domestic, regional, and global security challenges relevant to
India today. It concludes by re-examining historical trends to determine if
Page 3 of 5
India can manage these challenges effectively as it negotiates its rise to
great power status in the foreign policy sphere.
Indias Economy
David M. Malone

January 2015 DOI: 10.1093/
Item type: chapter
This chapter examines the impact of Indias economy on its foreign

policy since its independence in 1947. The first half deals with Indias
economic development, and is divided into three periods: desperate
times in the wake of the Raj (194766); autocracy and socialism (1966
90); and reforms, globalization, and growing global interdependence
(1990 onwards). The second half considers how evolving economic
patterns and relationships have affected Indias foreign policy and its ties
with major partners. The chapter concludes that Indian foreign policy has
shifted from the primacy of politics and geostrategic considerations to a
new emphasis on economic interests and ties.
India and Its South Asian Neighbours

David M. Malone

January 2015 DOI: 10.1093/
Item type: chapter
This chapter analyses Indias relations with its immediate neighbours

other than China. It first lays out a sense of how Indias approach to its
neighbours has evolved over the past two decades. It then suggests that
Indias approach to its neighbours is both too often reactive and at times
quite dismissive, but the country has been trying much harder in recent
years to accommodate and tolerate neighbourly differences. Indias
regional rivalry with China as played out in countries abutting India is
also discussed.

The SinoIndian Relationship
David M. Malone

January 2015 DOI: 10.1093/
Item type: chapter
This chapter analyses Indias relationship with China. It first sketches

the history of the current and more recent relationship between the
two countries and outlines the thematic issues on which they have
agreed and disagreed. It then weighs the prospects for future conflict
against the prospects for future cooperation. One conclusion arising from
this narrative is that a deeper understanding of each others domestic
compulsions and state-society relations would help identify and defuse
potential sources of conflict before they get out of hand. Both countries
have also done a creditable job of avoiding unwarranted antagonism and
adventurism in their engagement with the other.
