Description

India and Southeast Asia share an elusive sphere of influence, yet face formidable challenges in realising ambitious goals set for the region. Over the years, Indias foreign policy has progressed from being principled to goal driven and objective oriented. Based on analysis of secondary sources of literature, this chapter traces through the relationship between India and Southeast Asia, highlighting a shared landscape of experiences, weaving socio-cultural practices and further boosting economic and international relations. These historical references have found avenues for remodelling in contemporary times in the form of diplomatic success in varied dimensions of engagements. Drawing from these developments and taking the transformations in the geopolitics of Indo-Pacific region into cognizance, this chapter envisions the future prospects for India and Southeast Asia through the lens of building community resilience, promoting its potential to guide regional development and explore the sustainability of social, economic and environmental systems to manage change. This renewed line of thought supports a new analytic of governance which advocates that the local define the configurations and prospects for sustainability of policy frameworks and agreements in the global system. Thus, in the background of the rising traditional and non-traditional challenges, this chapter contributes to a better understanding of change and complexity through a revitalised scope for coordination, cooperation and pragmatism in partnership between the countries. 2024 Taylor & Francis.
