India's Global Footprints LIST of VANI PUBLICATIONS The Heinrich Böll Foundation The Heinrich Böll Foundation is part of the Green political movement that has developed worldwide as a response to the traditional politics of socialism, liberalism, and conservatism. Our main tenets are ecology and sustainability, democracy and human rights, self-determination and justice. We place particular emphasis on gender democracy, meaning social emancipation and equal rights for women and men. We are also committed to equal rights for cultural and ethnic minorities and to the societal and political participation of immigrants. Finally, we promote non-violence and proactive peace policies. To achieve our goals, we seek strategic partnerships with others who share our values. We are an independent organisation, that is, we determine our own priorities and policies. We are based in the Federal Republic of Germany, yet we are an international actor in both ideal and practical terms. Our namesake, the writer and Nobel Prize laureate Heinrich Böll, personifies the values we stand for: defence of freedom, civic courage, tolerance, open debate, and the valuation of art and culture as independent spheres of thought and action.

Our culture The national Heinrich Böll Foundation works in close co-operation with its co-foundations in all of Germany's 16 states. Mutual respect and trusting co-operation among ourselves and with our partners are the bases of our business relationships. We are an open organisation. The executive board and all of our employees engage in open dialogue, both internally and externally. We promote equal opportunities, attentive, respectful dealings between women and men, intercultural competence, and a productive engagement with diversity. We aim to constantly evaluate and improve our work. We undertake and take seriously both internal and external evaluations. Commitment, expert and social competence, and flexibility are features of our employees, both in Germany and abroad. They are highly qualified, team-oriented and, with their high level of motivation, they constitute the most important asset of the Foundation. We strive to be a reliable partner for volunteer work and for co-operation with third parties. We handle the funds at our disposal economically and efficiently and assure transparent operations. As a political foundation, we act independently; this also applies in respect to our relationship with the German Green Party.

  • The End of India's Strategic Ambiguity?
    Documento Opinión 67/2020 21 de mayo de 2020 Mikel Herrera Pilar * The end of India’s strategic ambiguity? Visitar la WEB Recibir BOLETÍN ELECTRÓNICO The end of India’s strategic ambiguity? Abstract: The world’s geopolitical center of gravity is shifting towards the Indian Ocean Region (IOR), where Modi’s India has claimed its leadership role as security provider in response to China’s regional aspirations. Aware of the latter’s superiority, Delhi resorts to strategic hedging against Beijing –by balancing the latter while cooperating in common multilateral platforms–, which gives India greater leverage to project its influence on the region while avoiding an undesirable confrontation. In recent years, India’s foreign policy in the IOR has combined a limited alignment with the West and its traditional strategic autonomy, i.e. engaging with multiple actors on tactical convenience. However, in view of the need for a long-term strategy, there are now calls for greater realism. India’s foreign policy should seek convergences instead of conveniences, while leading security cooperation with the IOR neighbours and middle powers to contain China’s assertiveness. Keywords: Indian Ocean Region (IOR), China, India, geopolitics, power, security, strategy. How to quote: HERRERA PILAR, Mikel. The end of India’s strategic ambiguity?

  • Global Governance: Emerging Possibilities and Diverse
    GLOBAL GOVERNANCE: EMERGING POSSIBILITIES AND DIVERSE CHALLENGES TO INDIA Madhu Kumari Associate professor of political Science, D.S.College,Aligarh Dr.B.R.Ambedkar University, Agra UP. Contact no. 91-9412617235 Email id: [email protected] GLOBAL GOVERNANCE: EMERGING POSSIBILITIES AND DIVERSE CHALLENGES TO INDIA In a simple and broad-based definition of global governance, the term is used to designate all regulations intended for organization and centralization of human societies on a global scale.1 It may be defined as "the complex of formal and informal institutions, mechanisms, relationships, and processes between and among states, markets, citizens and organizations, both inter- and non-governmental, through which collective interests on the global plane are articulated; Duties, obligations and privileges are established, and differences are mediated through educated professionals. 2 A global governance perspective analyses emerging spheres of authority as both geographically and functionally fragmented; the range of a formal or informal rule system’s capacity to generate compliance on the part of those persons towards whom their directives are issued; and the acquisition of authoritative decision-making capacity by non- state, state and supra-state actors .3. It stipulates no hierarchy between actors; the mode of steering is predominantly non-hierarchical and often based on arguing rather than traditional bargaining.4 Abstract Post- cold war politics witnessed changes in power equations and a new world order emerged with new actors of global governance. Global presence of these actors has been endorsed by the international community. In this process, the world have recognized India’s achievements and admitted India in the new architecture of Global Governance along with Brazil, China and South Africa and assigned her larger global role to play.

  • The Emerging Foreign Assistance Policies of India
    THE EMERGING FOREIGN ASSISTANCE POLICIES OF INDIA AND CHINA: INDIA AS A DEVELOPMENT PARTNER Final Draft, March 20141 Eswaran Sridharan, University of Pennsylvania Institute for the Advanced Study of India Introduction: Key Questions about India as an Emerging Donor This paper attempts a detailed account and analysis of India as an emerging foreign aid donor, or development partner as it prefers to call itself, analyzing it in the context of the international aid regime as well as in the contexts of the evolution of Indian foreign policy and economic relations with other developing countries. Much of what India is doing is no different from what Western countries have done. However, it is not a member of the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the traditional coordination mechanism of the developed country donors and the international aid regime. India appears to have operated on the realist assumptions of power politics and interest-orientation in its aid policies, particularly with its neighbours (Six, 2009). However, India’s aid policy has been little studied. This study will address this lacuna by asking and analyzing five key questions: 1 This research was supported by IDRC Grant No. 106978-001 over 2012-14 to the University of Pennsylvania Institute for the Advanced Study of India. 1 1. How much? Aid numbers have always been prone to massaging as donors attempt to show their largesse. A good handle on India’s aid numbers is an essential first step. 2. To Whom? What have been the allocations by country and/or region? To what extent is India’s aid directed to the “near abroad” versus more geographically distant countries? Is the aid directed to the poorest countries or to resource-rich countries irrespective of poverty? 3.

Mullen The Importance of India as a Growing “Development Partner” The rapid growth of India’s economy in the 21st century along with India’s growing global prominence has led to a large expansion of India’s engagement in development cooperation (foreign assistance) with other countries over the past decade. Yet the rise in volume and diversity of India’s development cooperation over the past decade is a little understood phenomenon. India is not a new donor, having first provided development assistance in the late 1940s, shortly after its independence. Yet its development assistance remained small compared to traditional foreign assistance donors until the turn of the century. Since then, Indian development assistance has risen significantly. Indian development assistance in 2013 was comparable to that of smaller developed countries such as Austria. Moreover, the growth rate of Indian aid stands in notable contrast to the stagnant or even declining foreign assistance of most developed countries. India as an Older “Pivotal Donor” Since the turn of the century, India’s Government of India’s Development Assistance 1999/00 – 2013/14 development cooperation has risen in 80 volume and diversity.
