India and the World in the First Half of the Twentieth Century (eBook, ePUB)

Produktbeschreibung

Set against the subcontinental contest for independence in the first half of the 20th century, this book examines where and how India was placed during a period of global turmoil. This work looks not just at current foreign policy studies but contrasts it with the history and theory of that era, with a focus on cosmopolitanism beyond nationalism.
