Book Reviews 237 oft-proposed ‘Look West Policy’. In the absence of such commitment, the region will inevitably prefer its long-established relationships with the West. Recent European Union crises and American foreign policy machismo have damaged the depth of Arab–Western relations, yet India will not gain attention if its promissory interests toward the region are not actualized and institutionalized. Only then will deepening security, trade, and commercial ties follow and a more effective response emerge toward India’s key concerns such as the status of its expatriate community and other sociocultural and political matters.
