'Does India Negotiate' comprehensively uncovers how India negotiates international rules covering issues like climate change, nuclear disarmament, tobacco control and international trade. The text demonstrates that India is hardly a naysayer on multilateral issues and is working to thwart the resolution of global governance challenges.

India plays a key role in addressing multilateral issues like climate change, terrorism, piracy, humanitarian crises, and Nuclear Disarmament. Scholarly work mapping India’s multilateral behavior ranges from covering the United Nations to a wide range of for a where India seeks to influence issues that affect its security and development. Yet, there has been no serious exploration of how India concretely negotiates international rules. In this book, karthik nachiappan investigates how India negotiated four key multilateral agreements: the framework Convention on tobacco control, the framework Convention on climate change, the comprehensive Test ban treaty, and the Uruguay round trade agreement. Based on untapped primary sources including archival documents detailing how negotiations transpired, official records of the LoC Sabha and Rajya Sabha, a series of interviews with former Indian negotiators, and newspaper sources, does India negotiate. Demonstrates that India’s multilateral behavior is fundamentally strategic—working to shape and ratify international rules that advance core interests while resisting rules that harm those interests.
