SUMMARY:Great Decisions Conference: India's Rising Influence
DESCRIPTION:This event is being held in-person and is open to everyone. \nWith a population of nearly 1.5 billion and a GDP of $3.5 trillion U.S. Dollars\, India’s influence on the global stage is rapidly rising.  As the nation marks its 75th anniversary of independence this year\, the world’s largest democracy stands at a unique crossroads between China\, the West\, and the Global South. How could India’s status as an emerging global powerhouse and its non-aligned role impact the course of international affairs? \nGlobal Minnesota is excited to announce the return of the Great Decisions foreign policy conference! Designed to elevate the conversation around key global issues\, this free half-day event will focus on India’s dynamic rise in world affairs and what it means for Minnesota. The event will feature in-depth sessions on topics such as “India’s Rising Star\,” “The Role of Women in India’s Labor Movement\,” and “Nuclear Proliferation and the Influence of the Quad.” Dr. Satu Limaye\, Vice President of the East-West Center in Washington\, D.C.\, will deliver a keynote presentation on the rising prominence of India in geopolitics. Join the conversation with leading local and national experts on this important and timely topic. \nRegister \nThank you to the Foreign Policy Association for sponsoring this event. \nAgenda\n9:45 am\nWelcome by Phil Hansen\, President\, Global Minnesota \nIntroduction: India in Context\nNed Downie\, Analyst and Researcher\, Princeton University \n\n10:20 am\nKeynote: India’s Rising Star\nDr. Satu Limaye\, Vice President\, East-West Center \nSession 1: India’s Societal Landscapes: Women’s Education and Workforce Participation\nAnjuli Cameron\, CEO\, SEWA-AIFW\nAashraya Seth\, Humphrey Fellow\, Impact91 Founder \nSession 2: The Unilateral Impulse: The Quad and Nonproliferation\nDr. Raymond Kuo\, Director & Senior Political Consultant\, RAND \n\n12:40 pm\nProgram Concludes/ Great Decisions Networking \nView Speaker Bios
