The Unfinished Quest India’s Search for Major Power Status from Nehru to Modi Buch von T V Paul Stark reduziert

In The Unfinished Quest, leading international relations and South Asia scholar T.V. Paul charts India’s cumbersome path toward higher regional and global status, covering both the successes and failures it has experienced since the modern nation’s founding in 1947. Paul focuses on the key motivations driving Indian leaders to enhance India’s global status and power, but also on the many constraints that have hindered its progress. Paul’s analysis of India’s quest for status also sheds important light on the current geostrategic situation and serves as a new framework for understanding the China-India rivalry, as well as India’s relative position in the broader Indo-Pacific theater.
