My book finally has a cover!😁 Cover illustration by the insanely talented @JajuMahima. And generous endorsements by @MukulikaB, @jaffrelotc, and @rahul_tverma. Should be in-stock by the end of September! Big thanks to @RanaAnwesha, @SaniyaPuri007, @qudsiya_Ah & their team.

This is a fascinating paper by @Kate_SdE et al on India's signalling: "to avoid provoking China, build supportive but caveated relations with the United States." https://t.co/HTzpE9M5GH It is a clever paper, with layers underneath the text that interested readers can unpeel.

🥁New article! Notice how 🇮🇳 rarely explicitly criticizes or even names 🇨🇳 in diplomatic speech? Well @RaphaellesK & I have a theory for that. Our new @BritJPIR article draws on language pragmatics to argue that 🇮🇳 often signals via a mode of indirect speech called "implicature"

Come and work with us @CSASPOxford @OSGAOxford!
