Abstract
This thesis examines how China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) affects Sino-Indian relations, focusing on why India—one of the few Asian states—has expressed a cautious stance toward the initiative. Launched in 2013 as the land-based Silk Road Economic Belt and the maritime 21st-Century Maritime Silk Road, the BRI sets out five areas of cooperation (policy coordination, infrastructure connectivity, unimpeded trade, financial integration, and people-to-people bonds) and, according to the official roadmap, involves 65 countries and 4.4 billion people. The study first outlines the BRI’s historical origins, content, and context, and summarizes global responses with particular attention to India. It is grounded in a literature review and employs classical realism and geopolitics—including Mahan’s concept of sea power—to analyze the two states’ differing perceptions, national interests, and power competition, especially in relation to the Indian Ocean and relevant economic corridors (e.g., CPEC and BCIM). It concludes with a discussion of Sino-Indian relations under the BRI. The excerpt does not present empirical findings, so any results or conclusions are not available here.
Denne afhandling undersøger, hvordan Kinas Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) påvirker relationerne mellem Kina og Indien, med fokus på, hvorfor Indien som en af få asiatiske stater forholder sig skeptisk til initiativet. BRI, lanceret i 2013 som den landbaserede Silk Road Economic Belt og den maritime 21st-Century Maritime Silk Road, omfatter fem samarbejdsområder (politikkoordination, infrastrukturforbindelse, uhindret handel, finansiel integration og folkelige bånd) og involverer ifølge den officielle køreplan 65 lande og 4,4 milliarder mennesker. Afhandlingen introducerer BRI’s historiske oprindelse, indhold og kontekst samt verdens, og særligt Indiens, respons. Den bygger på en litteraturgennemgang og anvender klassisk realisme og geopolitik – herunder Mahan’s begreb om sømagt – til at analysere de to staters forskellige opfattelser, nationale interesser og magtkonkurrence, især i relation til Det Indiske Ocean og relevante økonomiske korridorer (fx CPEC og BCIM). Afslutningsvis diskuteres de sino-indiske relationer under BRI. Uddraget indeholder ikke konkrete empiriske resultater, og eventuelle konklusioner fremgår derfor ikke her.
