New Book
The Unfinished Quest
- Offers a comprehensive understanding of the rising power phenomenon in the globalized yet changing world order

- Explores the ways in which status competition has entrenched the China-India and India-Pakistan rivalries
- Argues that the key challenge for obtaining a sustained global status is India’s low human development indices
