India and the World: Understanding the Role of Educational Institutions in Shaping International Relations

Arora, Pallvi; Talwar, Archana; Mahajan, Shivam

Abstract

International relations have been a buzz for long now. The interaction amongst countries may further determine the likely impact of globalization on their national policies as well. While bureaucrats and diplomats take a lead in crafting the different permutations and combinations of how countries engage with each other, educational institutions too appear to affect their relations. There may further exist a relationship between the international programs offered by educational institutions and engagement of nations with each other. For bureaucracy and diplomacy of a nation are always at work, we propose that the educational institutions are also engaged in nurturing friendly relations across the globe and simultaneously in the development of a global mindset. This paper attempts to find the role of educational institutions (as a part of soft-power diplomacy) in shaping the international relations among nations besides the regular engagement of diplomats at different forums or in bilateral talks.
