Read the passage given below carefully and answer the following questions:
Just as both internal and external factors guide the behavior of an individual or a family, both domestic and international environment influence the foreign policy of a nation. The developing countries lack the required resources to effectively advocate their concerns in the international system. So, they pursue more modest goals than the advanced states. They focus more on peace and development in their own neighbourhood. Moreover, their economic and security dependence on the more powerful states occasionally influences their foreign policy. In the period immediately after the Second World War, many developing nations chose to support the foreign policy preferences of the powerful countries, who were giving them aid or credits. This resulted in the division of countries of the world into two clear camps.
  1. Give one example each of the domestic as well as international environment that has influenced the foreign policy of India.
  2. Why do the developing countries focus more on peace and development in their own neighbourhood?
  3. Mention the two super blocs the world was divided into.
