India's role in the new world order

Briefing note
26 September 2008

Few doubt that India's geopolitical role will grow. But what kind of impact will India make on the world's economic and political order?

He analyses India's relations with China, the US and Russia, concluding that in the long run India should take on a greater role in shaping a rules-based global order.
