The Gold Series goes theoretical. We discuss the evolution of International Relations (IR) scholarship in India with respect to the Great Debates that have shaped the trajectory of the discipline. We find out how receptive Indian academia has been in responding to the wider trends in the discipline of IR.
We are joined by Prof Sumit Ganguly in this conversation. He is a Distinguished Professor of Political Science and holds the Rabindranath Tagore Chair in Indian Cultures and Civilizations at Indiana University, Bloomington. A specialist on the contemporary politics of South Asia is the author, co-author, editor or co-editor of 20 books on the region.
