  • India–US Relations in the Age of Uncertainty: an Uneasy Courtship
    Downloaded by [New York University] at 19:57 02 December 2016 India–US Relations in the Age of Uncertainty In the initial phase of the Obama administration, India’s ruling class and strategic community formed a perception that the spirit of strategic partnership between the two countries might be diluted on account of China looming large in the priorities of this administration. Despite occasional hiccups in their relationship, this perception was overshadowed by the administration’s recognition of India’s role as counterweight to China in the Asia-Pacific region. This book addresses and re-evaluates the perceptions, policies and perspectives of public policy makers and bureaucratic elites in both India and the US in setting and articulating the tone, tenor and substance of the multi-faceted ties between the two countries. The scope of the book is not exclusively limited to the bilateral relationship in the critical areas such as the Indo-US nuclear deal, defence, security, and strategic partnership. Its concerns and ramifications are much wider in global and regional contexts, covering security architecture in the Asia-Pacific region, the interface between terrorism and weapons of mass destruction (WMDs), China as a factor in India-US relations, and the fallout of the New Delhi-Washington partnership on South Asia. B.M. Jain is a former Senior Fellow at the Indian Council of Social Sciences Research (ICSSR, New Delhi) in India, and was Visiting Professor in the Departments of Political Science at both Cleveland State University and Binghamton University, USA. Previously he was Professor of Political Science at the University of Rajasthan at Jaipur, India, and Editor-in-Chief of the Indian Journal of Asian Affairs.

  • China's Foreign Policy Behaviour: Understanding Through the Lens Of
    InternationalChina’s Foreign JournalPolicy Behaviour: of China Understanding Studies through the Lens of Geopsychology 157 Vol. 10, No. 2, December 2019, pp. 157-179 China’s Foreign Policy Behaviour: Understanding through the Lens of Geopsychology B.M. Jain* University of Rajasthan Abstract This article examines China’s foreign policy and diplomacy within the theoretical framework of geopsychology, which may be defined as the geography-embedded prism of a people’s attitudinal and behavioural patterns toward others, rooted in past experiences, historical processes, cultural constructs and societal structures. The article seeks to illuminate those key components that have potentially gone into framing China’s geopsychology over the past centuries and its impact on Beijing’s foreign policy behaviour. Paradoxically enough, China on the one hand talks of anti-hegemonism but it practices hegemonism while dealing with its own neighbours and peripheries on the other. There are several examples that show China’s bellicose postures in affirming its position as an unchallenged regional hegemon, while being psychologically unprepared to tolerate intervention by extra-regional powers, for instance, in the South China and the East China Sea. Fired by nationalism and the historical ambition to rule the roost, China is determined to become a regional hegemon regardless of US attempts to encircle it through the balanc- ing coalitions. Also, China is firm to change the rules of the game in pursuit of advancing and calcifying its core national interests. So far as America is concerned, China has blueprints in place to counter US bullying tactics. Keywords: geopsychology, behavioural patterns, ruling elites, Middle Kingdom syndrome, nationalism, strategic culture, cultural pride, tianxia system, hegemony 1.
