A. D. Gnanagurunathan

Dr A. D. Gnanagurunathan has recently been a MOFA Visiting Scholar, Department of Political Science, National Taiwan University (NTU), Taiwan. My ea nsearch has been Japan’s security and foreign policy and East Asia. Further, I investigate the dynamics between technology and international relations. Earlier, my stint as a Research Fellow at think-tanks, Indian Council of World Affairs (ICWA) and Vivekananda International Foundation (VIF), for about three years, largely revolved around writing opinion pieces and organising events related to Japan and East Asia, and South Asia. Last year, I have spent as a MOFA Visiting Scholar at the Department of Political Science, College of Social Sciences, National Taiwan University (NTU), Taipei, Taiwan. And, taught a course ‘Information Technology and Global Governance’ as a Visiting Professor at the International College of Innovation (ICI), National Chengchi University (NCCU), Taipei.
