India and the European Union in a Turbulent World

The book examineshow the European Union, which in the past had tended tobe seen by India as an undervalued partner, is now increasingly part of mostconversations in fields like the economy, technology, standards, best practices,development, defence and security. The book shows that the renewed focus on Europe is the result of changinggeopolitics, India's own priorities, Europe's growing relevance in the post-Brexitera, China's expanding footprint in the continent, and the search for alternativesto the loss of the UK as the gateway to Europe. The uncertainty inherent in theBrexit process and with the UK ceasing/having ceased to be the traditionalgateway to Europe, India has been compelled to revisit, re-examine and rethinkits own policies towards Europe and search for alternatives to Britain.
