== Career ==
Raja Mohan began his academic career at the [[Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses]], New Delhi.

Mohan has had a number of stints in journalism as well. He was Strategic Affairs Editor of the ''[[Indian Express]]'', New Delhi, and before that, served as Diplomatic Editor and the Washington Correspondent of ''[[The Hindu]]'' newspaper. He is a columnist for the ''Indian Express''.<ref>His essays can be found at http://www.indianexpress.com/columnist/crajamohan/</ref>

His foreign policy perspective is broadly liberal and pragmatist, arguing for closer ties between India and key global powers such as the United States, Russia and China (PRC).<ref>C. Raja Mohan, "Talk to US," Indian Express, 17 January 2012 at http://www.indianexpress.com/news/talk-to-us/900514/</ref><ref>[http://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/61729/c-raja-mohan/india-and-the-balance-of-power India and the Balance of Power]</ref> He has also argued for using greater economic linkages to improve India's troubled ties with Pakistan. As he stated in an opinion piece in April 2012, "For far too long, Delhi has viewed its regional policy through the prism of security without reference to the economic interests of the people. Delhi should instead focus on modernising the national security management and bring it in line with the demands of a globalising economy. Denying visas, limiting trade and blocking foreign investment from neighbours — the traditional and blunt instruments of Delhi’s national security strategy — are hopelessly out of date."<ref>C. Raja Mohan "After Attari," Indian Express, 16 April 2012 at http://www.indianexpress.com/news/after-attari/937097/</ref>

He has a master's degree in nuclear physics and a Ph.D. in international relations. Mohan was a member of India's National Security Advisory Board during 1998-2000 and 2004-06.

His most recent work is ''Samudra Manthan: Sino-Indian Rivalry in the Indo-Pacific'' (Washington;Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, 2012).<ref>{{cite web|title=Samudra Manthan: Sino-Indian Rivalry in the Indo-Pacific|url=http://carnegieendowment.org/2012/10/24/samudra-manthan-sino-indian-rivalry-in-indo-pacific/e4t2|publisher=CEIP|accessdate=25 October 2012}}</ref> He was awarded the highest French distinction of Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur (Knight of the [[Legion of Honour]]) in 2016.<ref>{{cite web|title=Highest French Distinction "Knight of the Legion of Honour" conferred on Dr C Raja Mohan|url=https://in.ambafrance.org/Highest-French-Distinction-Knight-of-the-Legion-of-Honour-conferred-on-Dr-C|website=Embassy of France in India|accessdate=23 May 2018|date=16 March 2016}}</ref>
