It contributes to strengthening military-political ties between the countries of the Global South and ensuring security in the key regions. An example is IBSAMAR, a joint naval exercise involving the Indian, Brazilian and South African Navies. The emergence of a new geopolitical construct (the Indo-Pacific region) and the growth of its popularity in the Indian expert and political community make it necessary to rethink the place of IBSAMAR in India’s security system. The article analyzes the main imperatives that induce India to participate in this format: the desire to maintain dominance in the Western Indian Ocean and involve the countries of East Africa in its foreign policy orbit, to ensure the security of one of the strategic “choke points” to the Indian Ocean, the intention to strengthen ties with South Africa and Brazil, taking into account the need to ensure the security of movement of goods (especially hydrocarbons) through the South Atlantic and to demonstrate its independence and multi-vector nature of its external policy. Analyzing the proposals of Indian experts on the possible expansion of the IBSAMAR format and the creation on its basis of a regional security structure, the author comes to the conclusion that it is impossible to implement them without a radical change in the Indian external strategy. At the same time, the experience gained in the holding of IBSAMAR can be in demand within the framework of security cooperation in the Russia-India-China format.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Одной из форм сотрудничества в формате Юг-Юг является проведение совместных учений, способствующих укреплению военно-политических связей между странами «Глобального Юга» и обеспечению безопасности в регионах, ключевых для стран-участниц. Примером учений такого рода являются ИБСАМАР - морские маневры с участием ВМС Индии, Бразилии и ЮАР. Появление нового геополитического конструкта - Индо-Тихоокеанского региона - и рост его популярности в индийской экспертной и политической среде заставляют переосмыслить место ИБСАМАР в системе безопасности Индии, являющейся стратегическим партнером России. В статье анализируются основные императивы, побуждающие Индию участвовать в этом формате: стремление сохранить доминирование в западной части Индийского океана и вовлечь страны Восточной Африки в свою внешнеполитическую орбиту, обеспечение безопасности одной из стратегических «узких горловин» входа в Индийский океан, намерение укрепить связи с ЮАР и Бразилией с учетом необходимости обеспечить безопасность движения грузов, прежде всего углеводородов, через Южную Атлантику, желание продемонстрировать независимость и многовекторность своей внешней политики. Анализируя предложения индийских экспертов о возможном расширении формата ИБСАМАР и создании на его основе региональной структуры безопасности, автор приходит к выводу о невозможности реализовать их без коренного изменения индийской внешнеполитической стратегии и усиления внимания к Африке. При этом опыт, накопленный при проведении ИБСАМАР, может оказаться востребован при налаживании военно-политического взаимодействия в формате Россия-Индия-Китай.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>India</kwd><kwd>Brazil</kwd><kwd>South Africa</kwd><kwd>IBSAMAR</kwd><kwd>Indian Ocean</kwd><kwd>strategy</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Индия</kwd><kwd>Бразилия</kwd><kwd>ЮАР</kwd><kwd>ИБСАМАР</kwd><kwd>Индийский океан</kwd><kwd>стратегия</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><award-group><award-id></award-id></award-group></funding-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Abdenur, A.E., Folly, M., Moura, K, Jordão, S.A.S. &amp; Maia, P.
