Description

In recent years, India has emerged as a major economic and political power: on the basis of purchasing-power parity, it was the world's third largest economy in 2013.

Yet the country's cultural influence outside India has not been adequately analyzed in academic discourses.

As the world's largest democracy with a vibrant and pluralist media system, India offers an excellent case study of the power of culture and communication in the age of mediated international relations.

This book, a pioneering attempt, from an international communication/media perspective, is aimed to fill the existing gap in scholarship in this area.

The discussion of India's rising soft power is located within a historical context, thus problematizing the notion of Soft Power itself.

The book will be aimed at university courses on global media/international relations/area studies - among others.
