1 ABSTRACT Title : India’s Look East Policy : Future Role in Asia Pacific Region Field : Strategy Name: Brig Gen Rajeev Sirohi,VSM Course : NDC Class : 56 The aim of the research is to critically examine the rapidly changing geo-political situation, emergence of new regional groupings, re-defined political and security architecture in the Asia-Pacific Region and review the current status and the drawbacks in India’s ‘Look East Policy’ with a view to formulate India’s strategy for the future. The hypothesis being pursued in the research is that in view of the changed contours of the dynamic geo-political competition in the Asia Pacific Region, India’s ‘Look East Policy’ needs to be realigned, to base it on ‘interest based collaboration’ with ASEAN and countries in North East Asia, with a view to maximise India’s strategic options, enhance economic growth, bring stability to the region and optimally serve India’s national objectives. The research methodology is by qualitative research method, data available from relevant books in libraries, on the internet, from journals/periodicals, interview with Indian Ambassador to Thailand, views of eminent think tanks, policies of the Government of India, ASEAN and other countries in the region, personal travel within Thailand as well as visits to Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and border regions of Myanmar. The research is multi-dimensional to cover all facets of India’s Look East Policy with a view to generate options for future foreign policy, economic cooperation, defence engagement and integration into the future regional economic and security architecture in the Asia Pacific region. While the introduction is in Chapter 1, the background of India’s ‘Look East Policy’ and current engagement with the region are in Chapters 2 and 3. The geo-political and geo￾economic landscape of the region are covered in Chapter 4. The final Chapter highlights the implications for India and gives out recommendations in three spheres ie geo-political, future engagement with ASEAN and India-Myanmar relations. The research is an attempt to provide an in-depth study of India’s ‘Look EastPolicy’ and aims to provide recommendations for the future contours of the Policy in view of the rapid geo-political changes taking place in the region.
