Narvenkar, M.; Fernandes, C.A.
This study examines the soft power strategies of India and South Korea, comparing their models and modalities as emerging middle powers with distinct cultural, economic, and technological strengths. It draws on data collected through a web-based questionnaire administered in India to respondents aged 18-61 and above. A total of 511 valid responses were gathered and archived in Mendeley. The dataset enables a comparative analysis of soft power approaches, including normative initiatives, civilizational legacies, international standing, national branding practices, and economic drivers linked to national development and global influence. It offers insights relevant for scholars, policymakers, and international relations research.

Narvenkar, M.
India's maritime security is not merely a national concern; it holds significant global implications owing to its extensive coastline, strategic geographical location, and burgeoning economic and geopolitical interests. The Indian Ocean, often called the "Indian Ocean Rim", due to the multitude of nations it borders, serves as a vital conduit for international trade, energy transportation, and geopolitical maneuvering. In this dynamic maritime theater, India's role emerges as pivotal, shaping and being shaped by a complex interplay of economic aspirations, security imperatives, and geopolitical dynamics. This research paper delves into the multifaceted dimensions of India's maritime security, analyzing its challenges to India's maritime security and the strategies employed to address them in the Maritime domain of India in the Indian Ocean region.
