Challenges in Europe: Indian Perspectives

Volume:43
Issue:2
Book Review

Europe is a vast expanse of land marked by diversity in terms of people, places, preferences, cultures and beliefs. Scholarly works, however, often reduce European plurality to one or a few countries and this becomes starker when studying the dynamics of India’s relations with the continent. Therefore, focusing on the European Union (EU) rather than Europe makes it more appropriate and fathomable when trying to understand contemporary Europe and the emerging contours of its relations with India. Studies of the structure and operability of the sui generis entity called EU contributes towards better comprehension of how Europe functions and deals with its internal and external concerns and issues.
