With the return of President Trump, the US is renegotiating the terms of trade and engagement not only with its adversaries, but also its allies. This is surely an interesting time for the world of international relations and diplomacy. What are the characteristics of this new world order that is shaping up? What opportunities and threats does it pose for India?

We discuss this and more with Dhruva Jaishankar, Executive Director at ORF America, and author of Vishwa Shastra: India and the World. Listen in as Dhruva unpacks India’s relationship with the US, China, the neighbourhood and the Global South. Whether you’re a student of geopolitics or simply curious about the world, this episode is one you don’t want to miss.

We discuss:

* Centrality of the subcontinent in India's Foreign Policy

* The role of diplomacy in the development of a country

* What kind of Atmanirbharta do we need?

* What is the new world order?

* How can India leverage this sweet spot?

* India's Foreign Policy capacity

* India’s role in the neighbourhood

* Why should we pay attention to the Global South?
