Cirrculum Vitae

As part of the Global and International Studies Initiative (GISI), Dr. Swaran Singh, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, spoke at St. Thomas University, discussing “India’s Relations with China.” The talk was co-sponsored by the GISI, the Department of Political Science at STU and the the Department of Political Science at UNBF.

The first GISI Visiting Fellow, Singh has worked for over 20 years on issues of arms control and disarmament, war and peace, security and nuclear affairs and East Asian studies, notably China’s foreign and security policies and India-China relations. Singh is the author of three books, eight monographs and has contributed 45 chapters to books. He has published 75 research articles in academic journals, 130 articles in other periodicals, and more than 150 articles in newspapers and websites. “India and China are the two most populous countries in the world. They are also neighbours and potential competitors for resources, influence and political space within Asia. The two countries have gone to war before; their relations could well determine the shape of global politics in the 21st century,” said Dr. Shaun Narine, Political Science Professor and Director of the GISI at St. Thomas University. “Dr. Singh’s talk will examine the areas of contention and possible cooperation between these two Asian giants and what this may mean for the world.”
