*Giri Deshingkar Memorial Lectures* are instituted in the memory of
Professor Giri Deshingkar, former Director of the CSDS and founder member
of the Institute of Chinese Studies. Earlier speakers in the series include
Professors Prasenjit Duara, Wang Gungwu, Tan Chung, Hamashita Takeshi,
Ashwani Saith, Richard Appelbaum, Elizabeth Perry, Wang Hui and Shu-mei Shih
.



The hard logic of China’s geostrategic vulnerability drives Chinese foreign
policy. Neither nationalism, power struggles, nor interest group politics
constrain the elite’s foreign policy decisions. The good news for India is
that China’s goals are relatively easy to understand. The bad news is that
China seeks more influence in South Asia.



*Andrew J. Nathan* is Class of 1919 Professor of Political Science at
Columbia University.  He studies the politics and foreign policy of China,
political participation and political culture in Asia, and the
international human rights regime. He is the regular Asia and Pacific book
reviewer for *Foreign Affairs*. Nathan’s books include *Chinese
Democracy *(1985),
*The Tiananmen Papers* (2001), *China’s Search for Security* (2012), and *Will
China Democratize? *(2013).
