Research Fellow, MP-IDSA, Dr. Jagannath Panda’s article “Beijing Boosts its Position as a “Himalayan Hegemon” Through Hydropower” is published in China Brief (Vol. 21: Issue 11, 2021) at the Jamestown Foundation, Washington DC.
The article argues that with China’s massive new hydropower project on the politically contentious Yarlung Tsangpo now a strategic priority under the 14th Five Year Plan (FYP), water politics in the Himalayas requires more acute attention than ever before.
