In the shadow of Ukraine: India's choices and challenges/ Sharinee L. Jagtiani & Sophia Wellek
Material type: TextPublication details: 2022Subject(s): Online resources: In: Survival Vol.64, No.3, June-July 2022, pp.29-48 (106)Summary: In 2022, India captured global attention over its response to the war in Ukraine. While calling for both parties' return to diplomacy, India abstained from several United Nations resolutions condemning Russian aggression. For a country that ostensibly subscribes to the values of democracy and territorial integrity, its response appeared frustrating and contradictory, but it is broadly consistent with its long-standing policy of non-alignment. Although India's relationship with China is increasingly contentious, New Delhi is not yet fully convinced that it is in India's interest to swing westwards. The country's relations with Russia and China are deep, complex and substantive. In addition to the military and economic benefits it derives from its connection with Russia, New Delhi and Moscow share an avowed preference for a more equal, multipolar world. India will eventually have to reflect on the extent to which it can sustain its balancing act.Item type | Current library | Call number | Copy number | Status | Date due | Barcode | |
