Japan–India relations have traversed from "distantly friendly" to "indispensable partners. " The significant development of the India-Japan strategic partnership, the convergence of bilateral strategies, and the addressing of broader economic relations and cultural dimensions signify that bilateral relations have entered a "new era" in Japan-India relations.

Given the region's emerging geopolitics, diplomatic relations between these two nations have gained momentum beyond the traditional pillars of engagement. New dimensions, namely, human security, environment, disaster risk reduction, climate change issues, innovation, and resilience building have gained currency.

Addressing these, this book covers the broader aspects of human security dimensions of India-Japan collaboration. Involving multi and trans-disciplinary research, including in-depth reviews and new data based on case studies from India and Japan, this book sheds light on new convergence frontiers between these two nations.

Furthermore, the book suggests specific policy and action measures to enhance human security through the bilateral cooperation between India and Japan, which has a global impact. .
