in Asian Survey , Volume 49, Number 3, May/June , 2009 , 403–428 | ||

It argues that India has much to gain by selectively supporting democracy in neighboring countries. Furthermore, participating in multinational efforts at democracy promotion offers India a potential vehicle for global leadership. | ||
