"India-Canada relations have witnessed both high and low patterns during their mutual interactions and interfaces, which are spanned over a period of six decades. Interestingly despite its reservations on India's nuclear policy, the economic potential that India had offered, it impelled Ottawa to renew its socio-economic ties with New Delhi. The recent initiatives taken from both sides have undoubtedly born quite productive and fruitful results and India's relations with Canada have since made a noticeable headway in various aspects of foreign trade.

Well articulated within the framework of interdisciplinary approaches, the articles put together in this book are sharply focused; they are not in isolation from one another but as related components in a larger socio-economic context of both the countries. Specific emphasis is laid on most recent economic policies and initiatives taken in the sphere of trade and investment which head towards new horizons of globalizations with special reference to India and Canada. The studies thus present an incisive account of the issues between New Delhi and Ottawa and provoke relevant questions that lay emphasis on keeping up the momentum without being affected by transitory nature of political differences, if any."
