    Indian Foreign Policy Challenges: Substantive Uncertainties and Institutional Infirmities
    in Asian Affairs , Volume 40, Issue 1 ,  2009 ,  90 - 101
    India is on the threshold of great power status but it has yet to match up to the accompanying foreign policy challenges. The approach followed by Nehru and Mrs Gandhi is not appropriate for a uni-polar world, not least because their approach lacked the underpinning of a coherent strategic analysis. That in turn demands an institutionalisation of the formulation of foreign policy. The creation of a National Security Council was supposed to remedy this deficiency, but so far it has not functioned as intended. India still needs a coherent foreign policy strategy.
