The Handbook of India s International Relations gives an overview of India s international relations, given the development of India as a major economic power in the world, and the growing interest in the impact of Asia on the international system in the future.

• Part 2: India s 'Immediate Neighbourhood'. India s relations with Pakistan; with the Himalayan states; with Bangladesh; with Sri Lanka; with Afghanistan; India s role in regional integration.
• Part 3: India s 'Extended Neighbourhood'. Looking east, South-East Asia and the ASEAN and East Asia and Australasia/Oceania; looking south, Indian Ocean; looking west, Iran and the Gulf and beyond the Gulf; looking west, Africa; looking north, Central Asia and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.
