The growing strategic partnership between India and Japan is one of the most important geopolitical developments of the twenty-first century. This volume brings together a cross-generational group of scholars and analysts from both countries to study four key areas of bilateral cooperation: economics, energy and climate change, security, and global governance. The specific issues covered in the book include: trade, investment, energy security, renewable energy, maritime security, peacekeeping, multilateral institutional reform, nuclear non-proliferation, and the rise of China. The contributors to the volume discuss their respective countries’ interests, how successful their country has been in achieving them, the obstacles to deeper bilateral cooperation, and concrete policies that both sides can undertake to impart vitality and longevity to their partnership. At present, there is a dearth of policy-relevant scholarly literature on India–Japan relations. This volume comprehensively fills this niche at a particularly opportune moment, when New Delhi and Tokyo have signalled their intention to significantly increase bilateral cooperation.
