TITLE: INDIA’S POLICY OF EXTENDED NEIGHBOURHOOD

ABSTRACT:The end of the Cold War and the rise of regionalism, integration and neo-functional organizations have transformed the global balance of forces and the nature of international relations. India’s foreign policy, which was based on anti-colonialism, anti-imperialism, anti-racialism and nonalignment, has lost its relevance and direction in this new scenario. India needs to adopt new strategies and principles to cope with the challenges and complexities of the new configuration of international forces. This paper examines India’s foreign policy reorientation towards its extended neighbourhood, which includes South Asia, Middle East Asia, Southeast Asia and Central Asia. It analyses India’s interests, new policy of extended neighbourhood and its implications for regional stability and cooperation.

KEYWORDS: Extended neighbourhood, Regionalism,  integration, Nonalignment and anti-colonialism
