U.S.-China Rivalry: India’s Choices?
Fri, June 5th, 2020
Zoom Webinar
As the coronavirus pandemic continues to aggravate tensions between the U.S. and China, it has impeded multilateral coordination in tackling both public health and economic crises across the globe. India now finds itself in a pivotal position. Tied by economic, diplomatic, and security considerations to both nations, India must cautiously map its geopolitical future. How will India position itself in this shifting balance of power politics? Can India leverage its unique position to its strategic advantage? What role does India envisage for itself in this fragmented world order?
We hosted a virtual discussion with Paul Haenle, Tanvi Madan, S. L. Narasimhan, and Santosh Pai on India's future amid growing U.S.-China hostility. The discussion was moderated by Rudra Chaudhuri.
