We have decided on India for our blog theme this semester. We will look at it as it interacts with other countries, especially economically. We think that this will be a most interesting topic because India is rising as an international power and is facing many internal as well as external challenges. Naturally, with the global nature of today’s politics, even the most domestic issues will have international ramifications. We will trace these in great detail and with extensive analysis, hopefully being able to apply the theories and techniques that we study in class to our exploration.
