India Turns East
Tue, February 13th, 2018
Washington, DC
India’s Look East policy, initially aimed at reconnecting India with Asia’s economic globalization, has since evolved into a comprehensive regional strategy with political and military dimensions. As the United States rebalances to Asia, however, India faces new dilemmas. While Washington and New Delhi may agree on China’s role in the region, geography and asymmetry of power make common policies increasingly hard to define.
In a new book, India Turns East: International Engagement and U.S.-China Rivalry, Frederic Grare examines India’s response to China’s rise and how India might navigate a rapidly changing Asian environment shaped by the U.S.-China rivalry and the uncertainties of U.S. commitment to Asia's security. Carnegie’s Ashley J. Tellis joined him in conversation.
