Rahul Karan Reddy was an intern at the Chennai Centre for China Studies (C3S) and is a final year B.A student of FLAME University, Pune. He is pursuing a major in International Relations and a minor in Journalism. Geopolitics, security studies and domestic politics are his main areas of interest. His focus is on completing a post-graduate programme and working with a policy group that studies Asian geopolitics, and China, in particular. He holds that the global economy and the international order is rebalancing itself toward Asia. It requires human resources that understand the nuances and variations between states, so that cooperation can be generated. He would like to work on this issue and produce literature and research that has a problem-solving outlook.
