India As an Emerging Power (Book Review‪)‬

Edited by Sumit Ganguly. London & Portland, Oregon: Frank Cass, 2003. 233pp. This book looks at India's potential to emerge as a major power, with contributions from eight scholars together with an introduction by the editor. It addresses the issue of India's strengths and weaknesses by delving into various aspects of India's foreign, economic and security policies, as well as its relations with neighbours and major external powers. India has for several years been regarded as an emerging or rising state. It had always been the predominant power in South Asia. The question now is whether it can transcend its influence beyond South Asia and can emerge as a major Asian power? That is the main thrust of the study by Sumit Ganguly and others.
