- Description
- Long-standing democracies such as India were not exempt from the global trend of democratic retreat. India has come under increasing international attention due to certain domestic policies such as the revocation of Article 370 of the Indian Constitution, the National Register of Citizens and Citizenship (Amendment) Act passed under the Bharatiya Janata Party government. In addition to Indias democratic decline being reflected in global democratic rankings, this has induced strains on Indias foreign relations. In its pursuit of becoming a leading power, Indias perceived democratic backsliding is likely to influence the direction of its foreign policy. To discern the impact of its perceived illiberal turn on its foreign engagement, the role of democracy in Indias foreign policy needs to be explored. While attempts have been made to understand democratic backsliding through a theoretical lens, the impact of a nations democratic status on its foreign relations and policy remains a largely unexplored area. 2023 Taylor & Francis.
