The Federal Trust, in collaboration with the Global Policy Institute, is pleased to form a consortium with Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) for the purpose of the EU-India Think Tanks Twinning Initiative. More information about this project can be found at https://euindiathinktanks.com/
The research is based on our respective expertise of the European Union, China, India, and the developments of One Belt One Road (OBOR) or Belt & Road Initiative (BRI). We have chosen to focus our research on exploring cooperation between the EU and India on the very strategic issue of the BRI and assess possible areas for responses to it.
The project is divided into three phases, each of which resulted in a published paper. Please see below to download the papers and find further information on each phase of the project.
