Sharper competitiveness should be expected as driving force of the world today. The book also spoke about the issues with reconciling contestation and collaboration, of how divergences have influenced if the nation has influence in global scale.
The book covered various from current day issues and diplomacy tabs that of the past as well.
The book talked about the Bandung era, India-china relationship in the pre and post 1960 era, relationship of china and Pakistan etc.
He talked in details about the border issues with Pakistan and impact on India because of the unexpected relation of Pakistan with China etc.
Impact of Economic interdependence can not limits certain aspects in political risk taking, but also market more alert towers any conflicts.
Being clear, willingness to do what is necessary, societal dynamics, ability to resolve and reconcile any issues with various stakeholder, understanding the changes dynamics and what a country can offer each other and bring to the table can influence the relationship more easier.
Although the scene in the international relationship, diplomacy and others things have changed in the years after the release of the book, I loved reading this book.
