Compromise can be good in politics but also paralysing

Canada’s previous high commissioner to India, David M. Malone, is considered to be one of the most articulate voices in New Delhi’s diplomatic community. During his two-year tenure, Malone began work on a book on India’s contemporary foreign policy, which will be published by Oxford University Press in 2010.
