ANALYZING THE INFLUENCE OF FOREIGN POLICY ON INDIAN ECONOMY

Abstract

India’s foreign policy plays a critical role in establishing the nation's economic trajectory, impacting major areas such as trade, investment, and international partnerships. This study investigates the connection between India's foreign policy and its economic growth, concentrating on strategic partnerships, trade agreements, and geopolitical upheavals. By studying both historical and present foreign policy actions, the book investigates how India has utilised diplomatic connections to boost its economic objectives. Key sectors such as economic diplomacy, regional trade agreements, and foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows are severely reviewed. The study also underlines the relevance of India’s membership in international organizations like the United Nations and BRICS, along with its approach to economic security. The findings imply that India’s foreign policy, which balances strategic autonomy with economic integration, has considerably contributed to its growth as an emergent global economic power. This research emphasises the necessity of connecting foreign policy with long-term economic objectives to continue India’s prosperity in the global arena.
