Indian Diplomacy: Beyond Strategic Autonomy
Thu, September 20th, 2018
Washington, DC
Online registration for this event has closed. On-site registration will be available.
As India bids to become a leading global power, its foreign policy is more complex than ever, carrying consequences far beyond the region. In a new book, Indian Diplomacy: Beyond Strategic Autonomy, former Indian ambassador Rajendra M. Abhyankar examines what drives and shapes India’s foreign policy. Drawing on thirty-seven years of experience in the Indian Foreign Service, he charts the major shifts in Indian foreign policy in the seventy years since India gained independence. Teresita Schaffer and Aparna Pande will join Abhyankar in conversation, and Carnegie’s Ashley J. Tellis will moderate. A reception will follow.
