New Aspects in Indian African Politics
https://doi.org/10.31249/kgt/2024.03.10
Abstract
The article is devoted to India’s modern policy towards African states in the context of New Delhi’s intention to strengthen its role in world affairs. Special attention is paid to the issues of increasing the importance of security and defense issues in the current Indian-African relations against the background of growing competition between New Delhi and Beijing. It is concluded that as India’s position in the world deepens and its authority on the continent increases, it increasingly claims to be the leader of the Global South and a “new regulatory force” capable of offering developing, including African, states their own development model. One of the most important means to achieve this goal is to promote Indian digital infrastructure to African countries. India sees this as a necessary element in shaping its new image as a high-tech world power. It is noted that India’s current efforts in this direction are a logical continuation of its previous projects in Africa, in particular in the field of education and health.
