| Popis: | Relations within India-US-China triangle are rather complicated. The basis of the Sino-Indian dialogue was laid by the 1962 war, after which mutual distrust became its permanent feature. Despite the fact that the late 20th century was marked by rapprochement of bilateral cooperation, it is still off the mark. As for relations between the United States and China, today it is increasingly referred to as the rivalry of two superpowers – an established, but losing its positions, and a potential one. Historically, Indian-American relations suffered fluctuations: the US gave preference to Pakistan, while India was assigned a secondary role, though in some periods the parties saw active dialogue. Washington’s choice was determined by its confrontation with the USSR, which directly affected cooperation with Delhi. However, in recent years, the American establishment has begun to pay more attention to the Asia-Pacific region due to the rise of China and its transformation into the main US geopolitical rival. Against this background, India started to pave its way as the second key power in the region by promoting its regional initiatives, with the Indo-Pacific being the most prominent. This shift received a new sound in American foreign policy, too. New geopolitical realities predetermine the relevance of this study, aimed at analyzing the influence of the Chinese factor on the interaction between India and the United States. |
