We are very happy to inform that our very own @ManaliKumar is starting her new research project on Indian national identity and interests, based partially on the data from the Making Identity Count India project: bit.ly/3nL4AlT

Some professional news: after many months of delay, and a quarantine, I am SO happy to be back at @IPW_HSG as a Postdoctoral Fellow! Excited to kick-off a new project that explores how #India's national identities and interests have changed with its emergence as a rising power

Thread (w/ article links at the end) on the role ideas could play in hindering China's rise: Hegemonic transitions in International Relations have often been seen from the perspective of military and economic might. However, the role of ideas and identities has been neglected

A key finding of our research has been the role of ideas/identities in conditioning China's rise. Can China provide any credible ideational alternative vision to the neo-liberal order established by United States? So far, the answer is in the negative

Furthermore, most elites of other major powers identify their countries as democracies. So China's elites have two options - either persuade other nations' elite to adopt their political model, or change their own dominant understanding of Self to democratic - A herculean task
