C Raja Mohan, a foreign policy strategist, has been named as the inaugural Marshall Bouton Asia Fellow of the prestigious Chicago Council on Global Affairs.
The Chicago-based Council established this fellowship in recognition of Marshall M Bouton, who was president of the Council from 2001 to 2013.
Mohan will visit Chicago from May 9 to 13 during which he will deliver the Council's first Marshall M Bouton Lecture: "American Retrenchment: Implications for India and Asia."
He would also meet with civic leaders, corporate executives and local scholars to build relationships and share knowledge about critical issues facing Asia and the US.
"America's future is increasingly linked to Asia's, and Dr. Mohan has a unique vantage point from which to assess the importance of this relationship," said Ambassador Ivo H. Daalder, president of the Council on Global Affairs.
In addition to his position at Carnegie India, which opened in April 2016 as the sixth international center of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Raja Mohan is a visiting research professor at the Institute of South Asian Studies at the National University of Singapore and a columnist on foreign affairs for the Indian Express.
He was previously a member of India's National Security Advisory Board and was a non-resident senior associate with Carnegie before he became director of Carnegie India.
