The handbook has some major and minor errors. First, in terms of international relations, realism and pragmatism are different. Neo-realism is divided into defen- sive and offensive realism and Mearsheimer is an offensive realist. Chapter 36 is structured thematically and states that the EU is not Europe but nonetheless excludes non-EU countries without providing a rationale. There is a broad consensus amongst scholars and policy- makers that India does not take the EU seriously and prefers to deal with its members on a bilateral basis.
