Great Decisions: India: Between China, the West, and the Global South

Great Decisions: India: Between China, the West, and the Global South

As the Republic of India marks its 75th anniversary in January 2025, the world’s most populous nation and largest democracy continues to defy simple categorization.

India is an emerging major power in world affairs, occupying a pivotal position between China, the United States, and the Global South. Its population size, economy, and geopolitical location ensure that it will be an influential voice in debates and political struggles over global order. What are India’s choices and opportunities for regional and global leadership? How will it maneuver between China and the United States, and what is its role as a voice of the Global South? What opportunities exist for Washington to work with India?

Join us for a discussion of “India: Between China, the West, and the Global South” by Leslie Vinjamuri.

A brief presentation will be followed by a courteous group discussion based on the article.
