The article studies relations between India and Bangladesh from the perspective of foreign aid flows and discovers conditions, forms, mechanisms, and trends of India’s aid to Bangladesh from 1971 until today. The research uses the approach of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) towards foreign aid and understands it as financial assistance, technical assistance, as well as aid in goods in the form of grants and soft loans with the aim to provide economic development and well-being. The author analyzes factors of the geopolitical significance of Bangladesh for India and studies India’s aid to Bangladesh in the context of the history of bilateral relations between the two countries. As a result, a certain correlation is discovered between aid flows and the state of bilateral relations. China’s growing interest is seen as one of additional factors, which cause India to increase volumes of its aid to the neighboring countries, including Bangladesh. China and India are understood as emerging donors who are competing to increase their influence in the world. The two Asian giants have recently taken considerable aid commitments to Bangladesh which indicates that Bangladesh starts to play a more important role in the regional geopolitics. In this context, the article predicts a further growth in the volumes of Indian aid to Bangladesh in the future and concludes that India uses its foreign aid programs as a tool to promote its own economic, political, and strategic interests. Foreign aid, including official development assistance (ODA), is becoming a means of India’s economic diplomacy although some researchers point to the fact that the country’s policymakers still lack coordination to make aid efficient in terms of political gains.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>В статье на примере индийско-бангладешских отношений рассматривается одно из важнейших направлений современной внешней политики - оказание помощи развивающимся государствам. Автор анализирует условия, формы, механизмы и закономерности предоставления Индией помощи Бангладеш в период с 1971 г. по настоящее время. В качестве одного из факторов, способствующих росту объемов индийской помощи Бангладеш, рассматривается рост влияния Китая в регионе Южной Азии. Китай и Индия представлены как новые конкурирующие доноры, оба азиатских гиганта недавно взяли обязательства по оказанию значительной помощи Бангладеш, что указывает на то, что именно Бангладеш начинает играть более важную роль в региональной геополитике. В этой связи в статье прогнозируется дальнейший рост объемов индийской помощи в Бангладеш в будущем, и автором делается вывод о том, что Индия использует свои программы помощи в качестве инструмента для продвижения своих экономических, политических и стратегических интересов. Иностранная помощь, в том числе официальная помощь в целях развития (ОПР), становится средством экономической дипломатии Индии, хотя и некоторые исследователи указывают на тот факт, что политике страны в этой области до сих пор не хватает координации, чтобы сделать этот инструмент более эффективным с точки зрения политической выгоды.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>foreign aid</kwd><kwd>donor-country</kwd><kwd>recipient-country</kwd><kwd>developing countries</kwd><kwd>South Asia</kwd><kwd>Bangladesh</kwd><kwd>India</kwd><kwd>China</kwd><kwd>poverty</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>иностранная помощь</kwd><kwd>страна-донор</kwd><kwd>страна-реципиент</kwd><kwd>развивающиеся страны</kwd><kwd>Южная Азия</kwd><kwd>Бангладеш</kwd><kwd>Индия</kwd><kwd>Китай</kwd><kwd>бедность</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">Agrawal, S.
