Asian geopolitics has changed rapidly in the recent past, and the pace of change is accelerating. This book, by one of India's most senior and respected foreign policy minds, examines this moment of flux, and argues that we should prepare for dimming economic prospects and rival power blocs. What are the prospects for India in such a world, including its increasingly close relationship with Australia? Shivshankar Menon argues that India will work ever more closely with the West, as part of India's broader quest for strategic autonomy.
