ABOUT THE BOOK

This book entitled 'Indo-Russia cooperation in South East Asia' is a unique one. Indo-Russia relations have been traced back to the cold war period in the form of Indo-USSR relations. Within the frame work of None-alignment, India cultivated special relations with the then USSR. In the present context of Globalization, the book highlights Indo-Russia relations in South East Asia which carves out a special place for itself. The trade relations in defence equipment and oil have been emphasized. Measures of counter terrorism have also been brought out in their cooperation in the area under study. In addition the book throws light on attempt of India, China and Russia in ushering in a multipolar world to check the global hegemon.
