🌏 India in the New Geopolitical Order 🌏 India is navigating a complex and rapidly shifting global landscape under the Modi government. With important questions around its role as a great power, its relationship with global giants like China, Russia, and the US, and the challenges of balancing domestic transformations with international pressures, India’s future on the world stage is both promising and uncertain. * How is the Modi government shaping India's foreign, security, and economic policies amidst the 2024 elections? * Does India deserve a seat at the table of great powers, and what strategic gaps still need to be filled? * How will India manage its delicate balancing act between deepening ties with the US and navigating a complex relationship with China and Russia? James Crabtree, Milan Vaishnav, and Pankaj Saran discussed these questions last week in Geneva at the latest installment of the Geneva Security Debates, co-hosted by Geneva Centre for Security Policy and Asia Society Switzerland. Christina Schori Liang moderated the conversation. Full video of the conversation here: https://lnkd.in/e97WrdU8

This has been PM Narendra Modi’s strategy for the Indo-Pacific region- PM Modi has elevated India’s role in one of the most geopolitically significant areas of the world. Recognizing the Indo-Pacific as the heart of global trade and security, he has championed principles of freedom, openness, and inclusivity. India’s participation in frameworks like QUAD, alongside the U.S., Japan, and Australia, highlights its commitment to ensuring a rules-based order in the region. PM Narendra Modi’s emphasis on maritime security and economic connectivity shows the critical role India plays in maintaining stability in the Indo-Pacific. The Act East policy has been crucial in expanding India’s engagement with Southeast Asia, strengthening ties with nations like Vietnam, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Beyond security, PM Modi’s Indo-Pacific vision encompasses economic and cultural collaboration. With the Indo-Pacific becoming a focal point of global geopolitics, PM Narendra Modi’s leadership ensures that India is a key architect of the region’s economic future.

Thrilled to announce that my article with Dr Deepa Ollapally on "India's Southeast Asia Policy: Hype or Hope?", initially published with the Rising Powers Initiative, has also been published in India's World! Observing and analyzing India's influence trajectory in the region has proven fascinating- it'll be interesting to see how that changes over the course of 2025.

Growing power of India in Asia. US continues to command Number 1 position followed closely by China (who will likely rise faster) and now India. India's power is imbued by its democratic and republican ethos. Our culture also respects the environment and integrates it in our daily lives. So in many areas Indian values are more in need in Asia than its Number 3 rank suggests.
