Brahma Chellaney is a New Delhi-based geostrategist and author who won the Asia Society's 2012 Bernard Schwartz Book Award. He is a columnist for Project Syndicate. He received the $20,000 Bernard Schwartz Award from the New York-based Asia Society for his work, Water: Asia's New Battleground, published by Georgetown University Press.

He has been described by Stanley Weiss as "one of India's top strategic thinkers," while The Wall Street Journal has labelled him a "prominent strategic affairs expert" and The Guardian has called him "a respected international affairs analyst and author." The Times of India, for its part, called him "India's top foreign-policy expert". He has also been described as a "famous strategic pundit and TV talking head".

Education and career

Chellaney was born in New Delhi. After passing the Senior Cambridge examination at Mount St. Mary's School, India, he did a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) from Hindu College, University of Delhi and a Master of Arts from the Delhi School of Economics. He holds a PhD in international arms control.

He is a Professor of Strategic Studies at the New Delhi-based Centre for Policy Research; a Richard von Weizsäcker Fellow with the Robert Bosch Academy in Berlin; and a nonresident affiliate with the International Centre for the Study of Radicalization at King's College London. In the mid-2000s, he was a member of the Indian government's Policy Advisory Group, which was chaired by the External Affairs Minister of India. Before that, he was an adviser to India’s National Security Council, serving as convener of the External Security Group of the National Security Advisory Board.

Professor Chellaney was described in The New York Times/International Herald Tribune in 1999 as "one of the independent experts who helped draft India's proposed nuclear doctrine". The country's draft nuclear doctrine was publicly released in August 1999. The thesis he propounded in early 2017 on China's "debt-trap diplomacy," according to one magazine, "has morphed since into something approaching conventional wisdom, especially in Washington."

Among the institutions where he has held appointments include Harvard University, the Norwegian Nobel Institute, the Brookings Institution, the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies at the Johns Hopkins University, and the Australian National University.

Debt-Trap Diplomacy

Chellaney coined the concept of debt-trap diplomacy to describe how China leverages the debt burden of smaller countries for geopolitical ends.

In 2017, Chellaney made claims of 'Debt trap Diplomacy' in Sri Lanka by claiming that Sri Lanka had been overwhelmed by Chinese debt and was forced to give away their port after default. However his claims have since been disputed by institutions such as Chatham House and scholars including Deborah Bräutigam, who argue that Chinese finance was not the source of the country’s financial distress, and there was no default and that Sri Lanka’s debt trap was "primarily created as a result of domestic policy decisions and was facilitated by Western lending and monetary policy, and not by the policies of the Chinese government".

Publications

Chellaney is the author of nine books. Two of his most recent books relate to the geopolitics of water resources. Another book, an international best-seller, focuses on how a fast-rising Asia has become the defining fulcrum of global geopolitical change.

His peer-reviewed papers have been published in a number of journals, including International Security (journal), Survival (journal), Nature (journal), Orbis (journal), Asian Survey, Studies in Conflict & Terrorism, Disarmament, The Washington Quarterly, Security Studies (journal) and Politique étrangère.

He is also a prolific newspaper essayist. Besides being a columnist for Project Syndicate, he publishes regularly in The Globe and Mail, The Japan Times, Nikkei Asia, South China Morning Post, Hindustan Times and The Times of India. He has also been a contributor to The Wall Street Journal, The Guardian, The New York Times, and other newspapers and magazines.
