India-Africa Enduring Partnership: Emerging Areas of Co-Operation [Hardcover]

This book is based on the selection of papers presented in the international seminar on India-Africa Enduring Partnership: Emerging Areas of Cooperation held in March 2011 in Mumbai, India. Well-known Africanists from Africa, UK, Russia and from across India participated in the conference and contributed papers. In this book, the contributors have made a sincere attempt to document the changing dynamics of India’s engagement with Africa with the focus primarily on trade, investment, official development assistance, traditional and non-traditional security aspects and capacity building activities. Furthermore it explores whether the Indian diaspora can be utilized as a heritage resource for inclusive and mutually beneficial engagement. The scholars focused intensely on the pragmatic shift in India’s foreign policy relating to African countries. They have also investigated the emerging relationship between India and Africa to determine whether this engagement differs fundamentally from that of western countries, particularly with regard to aims, objectives and political discourse.
