Yet China’s rise in Asia has unsettled the balances of power which have underpinned the region, as a consequence of which India has hesitantly pursued a strategic rapprochement with the United States. Assessing New Delhi’s multilateral and geo-strategic diplomacy, this article argues that India bandwagons with the BRICS on a global level, but seeks to balance China at the regional level. On the global multilateral level, India has common cause with other rising powers in reforming the policies and structures of most international organizations. The exceptions are the United Nations Security Council and the Non-proliferation Treaty, where China and Russia can be qualified as established powers. On the regional level, however, India has maintained ties to Russia and cultivated a strong relationship with the United States in an effort to balance and increase leverage relative to a rising China. This underlines that major power rivalries are strongly mediated by issue area and institutional context.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Индийские политики приветствовали восприятие Индии как «восходящей державы» и встретили единым фронтом инициативу БРИКС по реформированию аспектов глобального управления. Тем не менее, подъем Китая в Азии не установил баланс сил в регионе, и, как следствие, Индия нерешительно следует по пути стратегического сближения с США. Оценивая многостороннюю и геостратегическую дипломатию Нью-Дели, автор статьи делает вывод о том, что Индия на глобальном уровне присоединяется к БРИКС, однако на региональном уровне стремится сбалансировать Китай. На глобальном многостороннем уровне у Индии есть ряд общих точек соприкосновения с другими восходящими державами в области реформирования политики и структуры большинства международных организаций. Исключением являются Совет Безопасности ООН и Договор о нераспространении ядерного оружия, где КНР и Россия рассматриваются как ведущие державы. Тем не менее, на региональном уровне Индия поддерживает связи с Россией и культивирует прочные отношения с Соединенными Штатами Америки в попытке сбалансировать и увеличить рычаги влияния на возвышающийся Китай. Это подчеркивает, что проблемные области и институциональный контекст являются сильным связующим звеном для основных конкурирующих сил.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>balancing</kwd><kwd>bandwagoning</kwd><kwd>BRICS</kwd><kwd>geopolitics</kwd><kwd>global governance</kwd><kwd>Indian foreign policy</kwd><kwd>international institutions</kwd><kwd>rising powers</kwd><kwd>strategic partnership</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>балансирование</kwd><kwd>концерт</kwd><kwd>БРИКС</kwd><kwd>геополитика</kwd><kwd>глобальное управление</kwd><kwd>внешняя политика Индии</kwd><kwd>международные институты</kwd><kwd>восходящие державы</kwd><kwd>стратегическое партнерство</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Armijo, Leslie Elliott, Roberts, С.
