    EP 21 | India-EU Summit 2026: Trade, Strategic Convergence, and the Road Ahead | Policy Beyond Borders

    The India-European Union partnership has entered a decisive phase as long-standing negotiations culminate in the conclusion of the India-EU Free Trade Agreement at the 2026 Summit. Amid shifting geopolitical alignments, fragmented supply chains, and growing economic uncertainty, the agreement signals a deeper strategic convergence between two major global actors, extending beyond trade into security, connectivity, and people-to-people cooperation. At a time when economic interdependence is increasingly shaped by regulatory standards, sustainability concerns, and strategic autonomy, the India-EU FTA raises important questions about market access, sectoral gains, and the challenges of implementation. From labour-intensive exports and manufacturing to skills, mobility, and connectivity initiatives, the Summit reflects a broader recalibration of India-EU relations in a changing global order. The podcast series Policy Beyond Borders by CPPR, through this episode titled India-EU Summit 2026: Trade, Strategic Convergence, and the Road Ahead, examines the key outcomes of the Summit and unpacks what the agreement means beyond the headlines. The discussion explores how trade, strategy, and connectivity are shaping the future trajectory of the India-EU partnership.

    EP 18 | Rebalancing West Asia Alliances: Trump’s Gulf Visit and Its Impact on Regional Powers | Policy Beyond Borders

    Donald Trump’s recent visit to the Gulf—featuring key meetings with leaders from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar—has reactivated high-stakes diplomatic conversations in West Asia. His outreach signals renewed U.S. engagement in the region, spotlighting arms deals, anti-Iran cooperation, and the revival of the Abraham Accords. Notably, Trump’s absence from Israel and his surprise meeting with Syria’s new leader, Ahmad Al-Sharaa, have added fresh intrigue to shifting power dynamics. The visit also touched on energy security and economic realignments, as Gulf states weigh partnerships amidst rising Chinese and Russian influence. For India, which maintains strong people-to-people and energy ties with the Gulf, these developments carry both opportunities and challenges—particularly in balancing relations with Iran and exploring new avenues for strategic cooperation. How might Trump’s Gulf reset influence West Asian alliances—and what does it mean for India? 🎧 Hit play to find out in this episode of Policy Beyond Borders.

    EP 16 | Impeachment of the Presidents and Political Instability in South Korea | Policy Beyond Borders

    On 3rd of December 2024, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law, citing threats from "anti-state forces." This unexpected move was met with widespread domestic and international criticism, as it was perceived to undermine democratic principles. Although Yoon retracted the martial law decree within hours, the action had already ignited significant political turmoil. Following that the National Assembly voted to impeach him from his office and Prime Minister Han Duck-soo took over the Presidential activities. but his rule also did not last long, as he was also impeached owing to complaints from the opposition that President Han Duck-soo was not ready to complete the impeachment process of President Yoon. The Constitutional Court now has up to 180 days to deliberate on whether to uphold the impeachment, which would result in Yoon's permanent removal and prompt a presidential election within 60 days. Today we are here to further understand Martial law, the impeachment of the President and further implications of this political act in South Korea. Speaker: Dr Jojin V John, Assistant Professor and Hon. Director, Korea Centre, School of International Relations and Politics, Mahatma Gandhi University, Kerala, & Senior Fellow (Geopolitics and East Asia), CPPR Moderator: Aleena T Sabu, Research Associate, CPPR Discussion Points Political and legal implications of the Martial Law in South Korea Implications of the Impeachment of the Presidents in South Korea Political instability and future of political leadership in South Korea Public sentiments and the power of democracy

    EP 15 | Policy Beyond Borders | Unrest in Bangladesh: Political, Economic and Strategic Implications

    The recent political unrest in Bangladesh and the subsequent resignation of Sheikh Hasina have raised concerns about the political future of the country as well as the international implications. The unrest, sparked by discontent over a government job quota system, had led to a nationwide curfew and internet shutdowns. But this crisis extends beyond the borders of Bangladesh, influencing its trade relations and geopolitical stance, particularly with neighbouring India and China. Bangladesh, a significant player in South Asian trade, is now navigating a delicate path. Its ties with India, a major trading partner, could be strained as instability hampers economic activities and disrupts supply chains. Meanwhile, China, which has been increasing its influence in the region through infrastructure investments and trade agreements, may see this as an opportunity to further its strategic interests, which is a major concern for India. Join us as we analyse these developments, their impact on regional dynamics, and the potential ripple effects on global trade.  Speaker: Dr. D Dhanuraj, CPPR Moderator: Maalavika A, Research Associate, CPPR Discussion Points How is the current situation going to affect India's neighbourhood relations and its Neighbourhood First Policy?  What would India’s stance be if Bangladesh develops closer relations with China?  How is Indo-Bangladesh trade going to be affected due to the recent developments?  Will the recent events cause a shift in global apparel production and if so, will India have the opportunity and the resources to fill the void left by Bangladesh?

It explores the geopolitical significance and challenges India faces due to its relations with neighboring countries, West Asia, and major global powers.  Speaker: Amb Venu Rajamony, Advisor, CPPRModerator: Neelima A, Research Associate, CPPR Key discussion points:  1. India places significant importance on maintaining good relations with its neighboring countries, recognizing that the proximity and potential influence of these nations can directly impact India's interests. The "Neighbourhood First" policy is crucial for India's regional stability and security.  2. India's "Look West" policy focuses on maintaining strong ties with West Asian countries, which are historically significant, culturally connected, and crucial for India's energy needs. The Indian diaspora, especially in the Gulf, plays a vital role in these relations. 3. India aims to maintain friendly relations with major global powers, including recent engagements with Russia. However, China's influence and activities in the region are a concern for India.
