"India's Foreign Policy"
Conference Paper
By Xenia Dormandy, Former Senior Associate, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs

Journal Article, Washington Quarterly, issue 3, volume 30
By Xenia Dormandy, Former Senior Associate, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs
It has become a cliche that the key strategic challenges facing Washington and the wider international community, such as energy, water, terrorism, economic development, and nonproliferation, cannot be solved by the United States alone. Although the United States unarguably retains its post-Cold War preeminent position, events since the September 11 attacks have shown the limitations of Washington's hard and soft power.
