Abstract

This paper examines the evolving geopolitical developments in the Indo-Pacific region, especially through the lens of an India–US–China trilateral/tripolar framework. At a time when ‘strategic unease’ has become a defining characteristic of the region and ‘security alignments and strategic hedging’ a prevalent diplomatic tendency, this paper captures an evolving trend of convergence in the strategic visions of the three key Indo-Pacific players – India, China and the US, and rising bilateral strategic/defence cooperation between them. Using a constructivist approach, this paper explores the feasibility of a trilateral cooperative framework among the three countries in near future. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Abstract

This paper will examine the significance of the bilateral strategic partnerships between Russia and China, Russia and India, and China and India by analyzing how the complex interactions among these countries influence their attempts to carve out an enhanced role in the world during a period of American dominance. Chinese aspirations for world leadership are more immediate than those of India, while Russia is engaged in reviving its lost status by reclaiming at least a strong regional role in Eurasia. Their attempts at developing bilateral ties with each other define both the challenges and opportunities facing these countries as they position themselves for a stronger presence in Eurasia under the shadow of the United States. The central question this paper seeks to address is whether the security dynamic will trump the many economic synergies among these countries or whether they will seek common cause in retraining the overweening power of the United States. This paper will argue that the policies of the United States toward each of these countries will play a vital role in shaping the geopolitical landscape in Eurasia. ..PAT.-Conference Proceeding [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
