Abstract

The period since the early 1990s has witnessed unprecedented economic growth in India, fuelled by economic liberalization and an aggressive export-driven policy. It has also been marked by a shift in India’s foreign policy, including its approach towards Africa. The new approach was pragmatic, with elements of realist thought driving policymakers, contrasting with the older, more idealistically driven, foreign relations. Economically, India now perceives Africa as a market for its manufactured goods and a source of energy, diplomatically a potential international ally.
