This book discusses the core concepts of international law with a focus on India’s position concerning contemporary developments in the field.

The project of international law—both in its origin and evolution—has been predominantly anchored in Global North realities. Over the years, however, narratives from ‘other’ parts of the world (the Global South) have emerged to confront the traditional construction of the international legal order. The Indian narrative(s) in this regard, given the state’s expanding influence within the Global South and beyond, therefore, warrants consideration. This book responds in three ways: captures India’s contributions to the development of international law in areas including human rights, humanitarian law, international trade and investment, global commons, health, and dispute settlement; evaluates the influence of international law on India and its positioning in the global world order; and presents a way forward by mapping India’s pursuit of global justice.

The book will be of interest to scholars and students working in the fields of International Law, South Asian Studies, International Relations, Human Rights, and related research areas.
