About the Book

Diplomacy is the cornerstone of constructive global engagement. By fostering dialogue, building trust, and shaping cooperative frameworks, diplomacy equips nations to navigate uncertainty and pursue peace, security, and development—especially in regions like South Asia—where history, geography, and aspirations deeply intertwine.

This anthology delves into the outcomes of an intensive fellowship designed to empower participants with the knowledge and skills essential for engaging with the complexities of diplomacy, foreign policy, and geopolitics. The program’s rigorous curriculum encompassed a wide spectrum of critical themes, including India’s foreign policy traditions, regional security dynamics, the evolving role of multilateral institutions, climate and technology diplomacy, and the challenges and opportunities of
a multipolar world. Through expert lectures, interactive sessions, and applied case studies, participants were equipped to critically assess global developments and reimagine India’s place within them.

Serving as a powerful testament to the fellowship’s transformative impact, this volume underscores the importance of youth-led scholarship in shaping debates on international relations. It demonstrates how fresh perspectives, rooted in both critical analysis and imaginative vision, can enrich policy discourse and advance more inclusive and cooperative approaches to global governance. This anthology charts a path toward a future of diplomacy anchored in dialogue, equity, and resilience in the face of shared challenges.
