CIPOD Alumnus Dr. C. Raja Mohan Named as Foreign Policy's Top 100 Global Thinkers

Dr. C. Raja Mohan, a CIPOD alumnus, has been named as one of Foreign Policy magazine's Top 100 Global Thinkers of 2009 "for his forceful advocacy of India's rise to great-power status". . .


According to Foreign Policy:

"With India on the verge of achieving its potential as a regional power, Mohan is one of the leading theorists pushing the world's largest democracy to abandon its traditional aloofness and seek full integration with the West. A strong U.S.-India partnership, Mohan argues in his influential columns for the Indian Express and The Hindu, will assist India in its continued economic rise -- and give the United States an ally in Asia that could provide vital assistance in halting the rise of radical Islam and checking China's rising power. Mohan praised George W. Bush's administration for its outreach to India, but urges the United States to husband its power more carefully and realize that it 'cannot play God by resolving every single problem in the world'."

Dr. C. Raja Mohan is currently the Henry Alfred Kissinger Scholar at the John W. Kluge Center at the Library of Congress, Washington, D.C
