This study covers forty years of China's relations with Western and Eastern Europe. Its approach is essentially historical: sucessive phases of the relationship have been analysed with a particular focus on the internal as well as external determinants that contributed to the movement of Chinese foreign policy from one phase to the other. The book is not based exclusively on official documents, since these are either scarce, or often hide or reveal very little of the intentions, motivations or even the policies of China, but draws also on information provided by the media, memoirs written by different personalities, and off-the-record interviews conducted with Chinese and European personalities who were directly or indirectly involved in Sino-European relations.

This book is about the prime ministers of India since Jawaharlal Nehru. A chapter is devoted to each of them with a focus on their foreign policies. The broad organizational framework, designed and deployed in this publication, begins with a brief analysis of their formative years, their perceptions of the international system, and the architecture of their foreign policies, before delving into their decisional process, and concluding with an evaluation of their role. All the prime ministers were obviously not interested in international affairs, but the size of the country unavoidably pushed all of them to deal with foreign affairs, and their roles were varied and their performance was unequal. The uniqueness of the book lies in the fact that the author has dealt with all the prime ministers, including the ones for whom foreign policy was not crucial.

Jean-Baptiste Tavernier: A Life

This book is a biographical and illustrated account of the life of Jean-Baptiste Tavernier, a French national who traveled extensively for almost forty years of his life-travels that took him to most of the European countries, to the Ottoman Empire, to Persia, to Southeast Asia, and to India. This writer cannot think of any other personality, at any time in history, who wandered around for so long and for so far. Tavernier has a number of achievements to his credit-achievements of having written extensively on the areas he traveled, the people he met, and the diverse activities he pursued. His memoirs became a blockbuster in the seventeenth century, outshining any other publication of the time-even of those who were known to be heavy with ideas.
