Geopolitics Beyond Borders: 'The Dragon's Ring: China in South Asia'

13 OCT | GEOPOLITICS BEYOND BORDERS: 'The Dragon's Ring: China in South Asia'
PANELISTS: Rahul Roy-Chaudhury, Filippo Boni, Li Li and Nilanthi Samaranayake
MODERATOR: Chris Alden
For the first time in its remembered history, multiple nations in South Asia are in direct geo-politico-strategic friction with one another, with a reality that seriously challenges the “balance” in the region. New power-brokers have entered the fray, becoming active vectors in calibrating earlier tensions - the increasing regional influence of China is extremely significant in this regard.
The LSE South Asia Centre, in collaboration with LSE IDEAS and the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), is hosting this series of virtual Roundtables to discuss the complexities at the heart of this scenario. Each Roundtable will invite experts, and produce a Working Policy Paper.
