ABOUT ROHAN MUKHERJEE

My research focuses on the grand strategies of rising powers and their impact on international security and order, with an empirical specialization in the Asia-Pacific region. My book, Ascending Order: Rising Powers and the Politics of Status in International Institutions (Cambridge University Press, 2022), shows that whether rising powers cooperate with, challenge, or try to reform an international order depends on the extent to which its core institutions facilitate symbolic equality with the great-power club.My work has been published in journals such as International Affairs, Asian Security, Contemporary Politics, Survival, Global Governance, International Relations of the Asia-Pacific, India Review, and International Journal, as well as in edited volumes from academic presses such as Oxford, Cambridge, Stanford, University of North Carolina, and Brookings. I have also co-edited a policy-focused volume that brings together top scholars and analysts across generations from Japan and India to chart the future course of bilateral relations.I received my Ph.D. from the Department of Politics at Princeton University. I hold an MPA in International Development from Princeton University\'s School of Public and International Affairs, and a B.A. in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics from the University of Oxford. I have also been a Stanton Nuclear Security Fellow at the MIT Security Studies Program, and a non-resident Visiting Fellow at the United Nations University in Tokyo.
