Emerging Asia: Challenges for India and Singapore
By- N.N. Vohra (ed)
India and Singapore have enjoyed close relations in
the historical past. In recent decades many factors have stood in the way of
cooperation between the two countries. Meaningful interactions started evolving
after the end of the Cold War, when the compulsions to view mutual relations
through the prism of superpower preferences withered away.
The growing relationship has been spurred by
diplomacy, domestic imperatives and changing perceptions (in the case of India)
of economic nationalism. Singapore, which has achieved sustained growth, has
also begun to see the need to create synergies with India and enlarge mutually
beneficial economic relations.
While there is much of Asia within South-East Asia as
a result of centuries of cultural and economic intercourse, the interactions
among the scholars and experts in our countries have been limited, leading to
an intellectual lag in the areas of social and political philosophy. These and
related issues are discussed in this volume by prominent academics and
specialists from India and Singapore.

Secretary and Defence Secretary.
