Walter Ladwig in the Wall Street Journal and on BBC World

Date

Walter Ladwig, a doctoral student in IR, has recently co-authored a pair of Op Eds in the Wall Street Journal and the Indian Express, commenting on the steps that India and the United States need to take to move the stalled Indo-US strategic relationship forward. This led to a TV interview with the BBC`s World News Today program (BBC 4) about Indo-US relations and the Prime Minister`s State Visit on Tuesday night.

Walter`s dissertation, `Assisting Counterinsurgents: US Security Assistance and Internal War, 1946-1991,` is a comparative study of US efforts to assist allied nations in counter-insurgency during the Cold War, with a specific focus on how American aid could induce political and economic reform. He is currently the Americas Scholar at Merton College.
