Indian Politics & Policy
termined by the objective of having its
neighbors favorably inclined toward
India. However, assistance seems to be
more a defensive than a coercive or control
strategy, to incentivize bandwagoning
toward India or at least not incline
toward India’s geopolitical competitors,
faced with competition in recent years
from a China that can deploy much
greater resources in development assistance.
From a practitioner’s standpoint,
as emphasized in interviews, the Indian
program is about building long-term
relationships and not about immediate
benefit. This is particularly the case in
South Asia but also applies to Africa.
