This subject book from Springboard Academy is an English medium (English language) volume on International Relations, written by Abhishek Sir as part of the RAS Foundation series, for candidates appearing in the RAS examination conducted by RPSC. International relations is a subject where the settled theory is small and the current diplomacy is large — summits, agreements and shifting alignments change what gets asked each cycle — so the book pairs the core concepts with an updated account of India's engagements. Coverage includes the concepts and theories of international relations; India's foreign policy, its determinants and evolution; the Non-Aligned Movement; India's relations with its neighbours country by country; ties with the USA, Russia, China and the European Union; the United Nations, its organs and specialised agencies; major international groupings — SAARC, BRICS, QUAD, G-20, SCO, ASEAN and the WTO; and global issues such as disarmament, terrorism, climate change and energy security.
