Domestic Roots of Indian Foreign Policy and Marxist Political Parties

With the help of James N. Rosenau's insights of 'Linkage Politics', this book focuses on one aspect of domestic political process, namely role of Marxist political parties in influencing Foreign Policy Decision Making (FPDM) in India with emphasis on their simultaneous role of 'support' and 'opposition' during United Front(1996-98) and United Progressive Alliance (2004-09) governments to show that they never sacrificed India's national interests at the altar of their international stances, and consistently upheld India's autonomy, integrity, security and sovereignty in both parliamentary and extra-parliamentary politics.
