Andrea Benvenuti, "Nehru's Bandung: Non-Alignment and Regional Order in Indian Cold War Strategy" (Oxford UP, 2024)

Andrea Benvenuti, an Associate Professor at UNSW, dives into the pivotal Bandung Conference of 1955 and its influence on India's non-aligned strategy during the Cold War. He reveals that Nehru was less enthusiastic about the summit than commonly believed, highlighting how it underscored national divisions. The discussion also explores Nehru's complex relationship with China, particularly with Zhou Enlai, and critiques the efficacy of Nehru's foreign policy. Finally, Benvenuti compares Nehru's vision for Afro-Asian leadership with that of Indonesia's Sukarno.
