India in a World Adrift: A Lowy Institute Paper by Shivshankar Menon
Asian geopolitics is shifting at a remarkable pace — and India's role in what comes next is one of the defining questions of our time.
In this Lowy Institute conversation, International Security Program Director Sam Roggeveen sits down with one of India's most respected foreign policy minds, Shivshankar Menon, to examine a world in flux. Together they explore the evolving balance of power in Asia, the implications of slowing economic growth, and the emergence of rival geopolitical blocs reshaping the international order.
Wide-ranging and incisive, the discussion offers a rare window into how India is thinking about its strategic future — and what that means for the broader region and beyond.
In his new book, India in a World Adrift: A Rising Power Takes its Place Among Rivals,Shivshankar Menon argues that India will work ever more closely with the West, as part of New Delhi’s broader quest for strategic autonomy.
