East Asia Forum Quarterly: Volume 13, Number 1, 2021

Few American administrations in living memory face as arduous a set of domestic and external policy challenges as that led by President Joseph R. Biden. What faces the new team in Washington is nothing short of herculean: arrest the scourge of COVID-19, grow the economy and begin once more to address the historic grievances of racial injustice and socioeconomic inequality. How it handles those tasks will profoundly affect its capacity to prosecute an effective foreign policy.

Narayanan, President of the Republic of India. The K.R. Narayanan Oration series was developed in response to these twin needs.

Sound Citizens
