speaks with Prof. Paul about: India’s strategy as a rising power in
a shifting multipolar world How ‘soft balancing’ works as an
alternative to military alliances The benign and malign dimensions
of American hegemony Why globalization both empowered and
destabilized the global middle class India’s complex status anxiety
and its quest for recognition How China and India navigate rivalry,
nationalism, and regional threats The future of the liberal
international order—and whether it can survive What a new global
settlement might require from the West, China, and India alike Join
