Drawing on comprehensive Indian, Western, and Chinese archival sources, Andrea Benvenuti examines how a initially sceptical Nehru seized the opportunity to champion a neutral Asian \"area of peace\" anchored in the five principles of peaceful coexistence (\u003ci\u003ePanchsheel\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond transcending superpower tensions, Nehru saw the Bandung Conference as a crucial mechanism to secure China’s commitment to peaceful coexistence and regional stability. It was a grand, soaring vision that ultimately clashed with China's pursuit of narrow national interests. Essential reading for students of independent India’s foreign policy, international relations, and the origins of the Non-Aligned Movement, this book offers a masterclass in diplomatic history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features \u0026amp; Benefits:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAcclaimed Scholarly Insight:\u003c\/b\u003e Praised by leading international relations journals for its rigorous examination of Nehruvian diplomacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eExtensively Researched:\u003c\/b\u003e Built upon deep archival research spanning Indian, Western, and Chinese historical records.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCrucial Historical Context:\u003c\/b\u003e Explores the roots of the Non-Aligned Movement, India-China relations, and the geopolitical landscape of the mid-20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Perfect Gift:\u003c\/b\u003e An intellectual treasure for political science scholars, historians, civil services aspirants, and readers of international affairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BEETLE BOOK SHOP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52737314849051,"sku":null,"price":509.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/2150\/0699\/files\/71e4KqSoFhL._SL1500__1.jpg?v=1786007469","url":"https:\/\/beetlebookshop.com\/hi\/products\/nehru-s-bandung-1","provider":"Beetle Book Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
