Does India Have a Foreign Policy?
Related Project: Asia and the World Roundtable Series
Speaker: C. Raja Mohan, Library of Congress; Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
Presider: Evan A. Feigenbaum, Council on Foreign Relations
This lunch discussion featured C. Raja Mohan, one of India's leading strategists. India has moved beyond nonalignment but the country has not yet coalesced around an overarching strategic or diplomatic vision. New Delhi may ultimately settle on a strategy that is conducive to a more open and global partnership with the United States, but that is not assured. India's interests increasingly align with those of others at the new top table of international relations, the G20; but when the environment minister, Jairam Ramesh, argued in a leaked memo on climate policy that India should "not stick with G77 but be embedded in G20," he provoked a political firestorm in India.
Dr. Mohan offered his perspective on several questions: What will replace nonalignment as the guiding vision of Indian foreign policy, and what are the main points of debate in New Delhi? How much of a constraint is India's geography--namely, that it sits next door to Pakistan? On what issues are Indian interests inherently aligned with America's? And even when Indian and U.S. interests are aligned, what effect will politics and path dependence have on New Delhi's ability to act on those shared interests?
