India and the World
India’s success in the world will be fundamentally a function of its success at home.

In a lecture delivered to students at his alma mater in Mumbai, Ashley Tellis discussed the domestic context of India’s foreign policy since Independence. He argued that for India to succeed abroad it must first complete its nationalist project at home, which he identified as having three parts: a thriving political democracy, a liberal polity, and a developed economy. To achieve this “trinity,” Tellis recommended that India’s policymakers search for a “judicious balance” between market freedom and state intervention. Specifically, he encouraged lawmakers to abandon their historical reticence towards markets and embrace a more limited role for the state in the economy. Finally, in order to protect a balance of power throughout Asia in the coming decades, Tellis discussed the advantages of reaching out to allies outside of India’s immediate neighborhood, such as the United States.

The paradox of the European Commission’s decision is that the main victims will not be those it formally targets. Major Russian businesses associated with the Putin regime have long adapted to sanctions with the help of complex schemes involving third countries, offshore companies, and nonpublic entities.
