The core aim of this monograph is to undertake a study of the strategic, political and economic aspects of India-Japan relations. It intends to identify drivers bringing the two sides together as well as issues of common concern which could be built on to strengthen ties. The central research question is to decipher whether the relationship that has started building up after a period of benign neglect is just a balancing act in response to the stimulus of China’s ascendance in the region or whether there is enough substance and rationale behind it to sustain ties in the future.
