The European Council on Foreign Relations is delighted to invite you to an on the record, invitation-only discussion with one of India’s most renowned security experts, on the occasion of Prime Minister Modi’s visit to the UK.
Since economic liberalisation of the early 1990s, India has been feted as an emerging great power. How should the West, and in particular the UK, work with India on the world stage? Does India deserve to be looked upon as a world leader?
Bharat Karnad is Professor in National Security Studies at the Centre for Policy Research (CPR). He is the author of Why India is not a great power (yet) (October 2015).
Anthony Dworkin is a Senior Policy Fellow at ECFR. He is currently serving as interim research director for ECFR.
