About the Book

Currently witnessed developments in India-Australia bilateral relations are engaging the attention of scholars on both sides of the Indian Ocean.

This book includes the contribution made by leading scholars from both India and Australia having bearing on the political economic and security realities of the emerging global order. Not only do they critically examine the evolving of the dynamics of the India-Australia relations but offer insightful analysis on the future trajectory of the bilateral relations highlighting the undercurrents of divergence and convergence in the policy orientations and overtures of the two countries.

Purported not only to sustain the currently ongoing meaningful scholarly exchanges the volume provides the much-needed useful perspectives to the policy makers of both countries marking yet another milestone in the growing mutuality interests between the scholars from both sides of the Indian Ocean
