Seminar
In the context of increased great power competition, India’s role globally and in the region is of central importance. In this seminar, we ask: How has India’s foreign policy evolved over time? How does India balance between Russia, China and the US? How does it seek to make its mark on reform of global governance arrangements?
To address these questions, NUPI and the Norwegian Center for Geopolitics is pleased to welcome Professor C. Raja Mohan to give a talk with the title: "India's foreign policy in a changing world". Following Professor Mohan´s talk, there will be a moderated discussion with Mohan and Arild Engelsen Ruud, Professor of South Asia Studies, the University of Oslo.
