ABOUT THE BOOK:- The book probes into the concept of soft power and tries to locate it in India-Bangladesh bilateral relations. This it does by taking three specific issues namely water, border delineation, and the issue of trade and transit. The book, therefore, examines whether soft power as a foreign policy tool was employed in the resolution of these contentious issues, and, whether application of soft power in any way contribute to the resolution of these disputes? Taking inferences from these issues, the book suggests ways and means wherein soft power can be employed for the overall betterment of India-Bangladesh bilateral ties.
