Atal Bihari Vajpayee is regarded by many as one of the most important Prime Ministers of India. With his election in 1998, Vajpayee guided the first full-term coalition government in India-the world’s largest democracy. Immediately after taking office, Vajpayee oversaw the development of nuclear weapons elevating India’s status as a world power. Meanwhile, he formed a bilateral bond with US President Bill Clinton which set the tone for good relations between the countries for years to come. In addition to furthering India’s international presence, Vajpayee understood the importance of establishing bonds with India’s key political neighbors-China and Pakistan. Despite past conflicts with both, Vajpayee extended his hand to promote an era of peace and economic gain. Bridge Building Leadership sheds light on contemporary India as it provides the reader with an overview of Vajpayee’s term in office and the dynamics of Indian democracy. This book aims to provide a broad political perspective on Prime Minister Vajpayee which can be used as a case study for a wide audience of students, graduates, and thinkers of all ages from around the world.
