Biography
Alan Bloomfield is a former solicitor from Perth, Australia. After completing degrees in Australia and Canada in the field of international relations he is currently the Vice-Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Fellow in the School of Social Sciences at UNSW Australia.
’As India's influence grows, its views about the norms of international society are increasingly important. This book provides timely insights into India's changing views of the duties beyond borders arising from humanitarian crises and its ambivalent engagement with the concept of the Responsibility to Protect. Based on extensive research, it is essential reading for scholars of India's foreign relations.’ Ian Hall, Griffith University, Australia ’Dr Bloomfield's timely study not only offers new insights into the political fortunes of R2P, it is a welcome response to the growing international recognition of our need to better understand the domestic influences on India's engagement with international norms and institutions.’ Shirley Scott, The University of New South Wales, Australia
