Show Notes Chapter Markers

In this episode of The Bridge Project Gold Series, we will talk about "The Human Dimension" of International Relations. We will try to understand the intangible factors that determine the interest and approach towards Indian Foreign Policy. How do of life experiences, passion and risk-taking abilities of an individual lead him/her to address real-world research problems in International Relations? The objective of this offbeat episode is to motivate young scholars on how they can play their part in bridging the policy-academia divide in IR and Indian Foreign Policy.

We are joined by Dhruva Jaishankar in the quest.
Dhruva Jaishankar is Director of the U.S. Initiative at the New Delhi-based Observer Research Foundation (ORF). He is also a Non-Resident Fellow with the Lowy Institute in Australia and is a regular contributor to the Indian and international media.
