India and the Gulf: Theoretical Perspectives and Policy Shifts

doi:10.1017/9781009310864

India's foreign policy in the Gulf has been a confounding situation for years. From the oil boom of the 1970s until Manmohan Singh took office in 2004, the density of India's interactions with the region, in the form of migration, financial remittances, or trade, surpassed by multiple orders of magnitude India's diplomatic and strategic ties with the Gulf states. The volume aims to examine the subject from a variety of theoretical lenses and methodological approaches. It thus brings together various approaches to key contemporary themes of India's foreign policy towards the Gulf region. It treads a range of traditional and emergent themes in India's foreign policy in the Gulf region, including India's alignment choices, its strategic partnerships in the region, the paradiplomacy of Indian states in the region, and the management of Indian immigrants.
