Part of Oxford International Relations in South Asia

Nicolas Blarel

Description

Four decades had passed since India decided to recognize Israel in 1950. A persistent ambiguity characterized India’s Israel policy during this period, without the establishment of any diplomatic ties. The year 1992 saw an abrupt change in strategy, marked by rapid development in bilateral collaboration, especially in sensitive sectors like defense cooperation.   Why did India decide to establish diplomatic relations with Israel only in 1992? How have these relations moved from almost naught to a rapid and substantial development in the next two decades?  This book, part of the Oxford International Relations in South Asia series, attempts to answer these and many other critical questions about relations between the two geopolitically significant nations. It offers a new historical perspective with insights from public policy literature and theories of policy change, as well as recent explanations of foreign policy change. Blarel argues that the controversial relation between the two countries is an outcome of multiple debates within the Indian polity, arising from differences in ideas, circumstances, and leadership.
