The Global South, Liberal Order, and Illiberal Transnationalism
This essay examines the renewed political salience of the Global South in contemporary global governance and its implications for the liberal international order ( LIO ). It argues that recent Global South positions—most visibly in responses to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine—reflect not indifference to liberal order but long-standing frustrations with its illiberal practices. First, the essay challenges Global North assumptions that the post-1945 o…
“I quit because…”
Employee attrition is a significant concern in today's organizations because it affects productivity, workforce stability, and long-term talent retention. This study aims to develop and validate a Precision HR Diagnostic Framework to identify and interpret the key drivers of employee turnover at both organizational and individual levels. This study uses the IBM Employee Attrition dataset, consisting of 1470 employee records and 35 features on emp…
The Cost of Restraint
Since the United States and the Soviet Union acquired the bomb in the 1940s, the common wisdom has been that each new proliferator would trigger its regional rivals and competitors to follow suit. Yet the incidence of such reactive proliferation is low. Scholars typically attribute this gap between expectation and reality to resource constraints and potential backlash from powerful allies and adversaries. These factors, however, only focus on the…
Hierarchy and Endogenous Contestation in the Liberal International Order
A previous generation of influential scholarship treated international institutions as instruments of cooperation built by self-interested states to achieve mutually beneficial outcomes. Recent scholarship, including this special forum, suggests that the rational design of institutions does not guarantee their durability and that liberal institutions are intrinsically prone to contestation. This essay takes a step back and posits that the hierarc…
Chaos as opportunity
The world is in flux, both in terms of the changing global distribution of power and the declining commitment of the United States to the international order. This article argues that, unlike many other major powers, India is well positioned to benefit from the contemporary disorder. The U.S. has courted India as a strategic partner since the early 2000s, supporting India's grand strategy of developing hard-power capabilities while addressing reg…
Looking West, Acting East
“Southeast Asian Affairs, first published in 1974, continues today to be required reading for not only scholars but the general public interested in in-depth analysis of critical cultural, economic and political issues in Southeast Asia. In this annual review of the region, renowned academics provide comprehensive and stimulating commentary that furthers understanding of not only the region’s dynamism but also of its tensions and conflicts. It is…
Hedging in South Asia
The literature on hedging as a secondary state strategy – built largely on evidence from United States-China competition in East and Southeast Asia – focuses on conditions where a major power presents both an economic opportunity and a security threat. In South Asia, in contrast, secondary states facing strategic competition between India and China have pursued hedging strategies in the absence of a security threat. We develop a theoretical recon…

Pragmatism in Indian strategic thought
Although contemporary Indian strategic thought is described in terms of various schools, most scholars agree that prior to the end of the Cold War there prevailed a so-called Nehruvian consensus on India’s strategic objectives. This consensus was allegedly idealist, emphasizing autonomy, peaceful co-existence, and Third World anti-imperialist leadership. We argue that this characterization ignores numerous alternative views on Indian strategy tha…
Japan's strategic outreach to India and the prospects of a Japan-India alliance
Largely driven by Japan's strategic outreach to India, Tokyo and Delhi have rapidly improved relations and enhanced their strategic cooperation since the turn of the century. Today, developments in bilateral relations are moving faster than journalists and analysts can track, leading many observers to posit the emergence of Japan–India alliance. This article analyses the reasons behind Japan's strategic outreach to India and explores the conditio…
What Money Can’t Buy
China’s growing trade, investment, and aid links are commonly believed to constitute a potent instrument of statecraft, generating important security externalities. Yet there is insufficient research tracing the precise mechanisms linking economic relationships between a “sender” and “target” state to actual influence in the security domain. We offer three contributions. First, we map out the theoretical mechanisms of influence in a sender–target…
From High Ground to High Table
Independent India's multilateral strategy was designed defensively as a means to provide the country with some leeway in an intensely competitive bipolar world. Today, India casts itself as an emerging power intent on exerting the bilateral and multilateral influence that the country's founding leaders had long aspired to. Obsolete frameworks such as nonalignment and developing world leadership have mostly been jettisoned in the process. However,…
Indian foreign policy and contemporary security challenges
India is fast emerging as an important player in regional and international arenas. However, it continues to be beset by a number of security challenges, both internally and externally. On the assumption that India's foreign policy has evolved in step with its domestic politics, this article briefly surveys the evolution of Indian domestic politics and foreign policy before discussing some of the domestic and international (including regional) se…
India and China
China and India are rising powers, keenly observed by the West and, increasingly, the rest of the world. Yet surprisingly for two states of such growing importance and with a rich and sometimes fractious history, their relationship seems to an outside eye largely reactive and, more broadly, adrift. China and India should be able to manage their parallel rise without generating shocks in their own continent. However, this will require careful mana…
India-US Relations
[The] great problem of the near future will be American imperialism even more than British imperialism.1India is today embarked on a journey inspired by many dreams. We welcome having America by our side. There is much we can accomplish together.2These two statements, uttered almost 60 years apart, mark a contemporary transformation in relations between India and the United States of America. For most ofthe last six decades, the world's oldest de…
